Conan O'Brien is tapped as the host of the 97th Academy Awards, and while O'Brien is a comprehensive contractor and comedian And he hosts other shows like EMI, this will be his first Oscars. Of course, with nearly 100 past ceremonies, many of them are broadcast on network television and watch millions around the world, there are many preferences to the audience that they can have about what to do while on stage. Should you make a riff a la Billy Crystal and be inserted into the scenes of some of the big big candidates? Does he play the people in the audience playing in the hope of baking them only? Or maybe he will make a musical number?

O'Brien may not be seen as a singer first, but he has performed live songs, such as when she appeared in a live performance in celebrating the "Simpsons" in Hollywood Bowl, where she played the charming -artist Leil Lanley and sang "The song Monorail"From the iconic episode" Marge against Monorail. "(Fans of his work already know that O'Brien wrote that episode During his term in the early 1990s of the animated series.) But while Conan can sing, there is at least one specific play from the past, he will want to get rid of. Since ABC broadcasts Oscars and Disney owns ABC, bad blood has long been gone, but a very noticeable Oscars performance has once made Disney sue the Academy Awards - and it was all because of their first animated feature film.

To describe what happened in the 1989 Oscars, it will sound crazy, but here's: Rob Lowe and actress dressed as Snow White as seen in the animated film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" performed the cover of the song for Creedence Clearwater "Gorda". If you have somehow managed to avoid hearing or seeing this performance, or if you just can't accept the possibility of the previous sentence even remote, you should consider yourself happiness, at least until you see it 11-minute sequence of opening Featuring the wrong music number, as well as brazen to old Hollywood glamor. If you've ever heard of people caring about how the Oscars feel too long and they are overloaded with extended musical sequences, they can be haunted by the image of Lowe and Snow White (as actress Eilen Baumann) singing this riff for "Deep Mary",

As confusing as it is as to see this sequence in the mid-2020s, it should be noted that the ceremony produced by Alan Carr of "Fat" was considered a shame, to the extent that some of the largest stars in the industry, including Paul Manumman and Juluuli, was a letter, But it wasn't bad enough because the company Walt Disney quickly sued The Academy of Movement Images and Sciences for Incorrect Use of Snow White. And frankly, it is very difficult to blame Disney for that reaction. If it happened in the era in which Disney broadcast the Oscars, the case would be different, as they would assume that the company approved such use. (It would still be waving and aggressively shameful, of course.) But Disney did not look for nothing less than a fast and immediate apology, and that is exactly what they received from then -President of the Academy Richard Khan within a week, leading the mouse house to miss the lawsuit as quickly.

These days, it is difficult for people to gather when it comes to culture. But few consider the Oscars in 1989 with Nessubov. Car's career ended up after that night, and Bowman reportedly had to sign a silence order for years not to talk about the event. One is for people like the last Oscars host, Jimi Kimmel, to mock the infamous slap of Will Smith; Even if the Academy or ABC wanted it to disappear, everyone saw it and heard. But since the performance of Lowe/White, and indeed the entire Oscars in 1989, happened before the rise on the Internet, it became much easier for the players involved to want it than ever happened.

Lowe, for his part, has took the jibers with good humor (In no small part because he turned his career around quite drastically and during the 1990s and through working on TV shows such as "Western Wing"). But this event was a cautious story of all involved. It is not easy to know in advance how the audience will respond to a great, expensive, scattered thing like this extended musical sequence; There may be an alternative universe where the audience went walnuts for it, and Disney had to be resentful to watch a snowy belt from a poorly written riff on a great rock song from the 60s of the last century, without returning. But we live in This The universe where Snow White's image was really a low point, and where Disney Suing felt the only morally appropriate action to take.

So, for now, we can only ask ourselves whether Conan O'Brien will get into some musical shenanigans alone in Hollywood's biggest night. It is understandable why he may want to, but he will have to trample carefully. We can assume that he can take out several guest stars to indulge in his stupid Antiki, and since the show is broadcast on both ABC and Live Live on Julu, there may be a dig or two on Disney. But just hope we don't see Disney's true princesses who join him to sing a duet on stage.
