Conan O'Brien's planned Oscars opening, featuring a giant Oscar statuette, was unexpectedly rejected by the Academy.
The Academy surprisingly forbade dressing the Oscar or placing it horizontally, much to O'Brien's astonishment and our amusement.
Initially, O'Brien envisioned a humorous domestic scene with the Oscar, complete with relatable couple's squabbles.
Further rejected was a grand multi-movie parody, showcasing Conan's green-tinted antics across various film scenes.
