Entertainment reporter Kristyn Burtt joins Dave Weekley to break down the 97th Academy Awards. The two discuss Conan O'Brien's well-received hosting performance, the surprise of Michael B. Jordan winning Best Actor for Sinners over Timothée Chalamet, and the backlash over winners being played off the stage. Burtt reflects on the emotional Rob Reiner tribute and Barbra Streisand's rare live performance, while also covering the industry's shifting landscape — including the Buffy reboot being shelved by Hulu, Access Hollywood's cancellation after 30 years, and the continued decline of traditional entertainment news programs.
