We here at Vulture don’t make suggestions willy-nilly. No, you see, all of our advice is clearly actionable and sound. Don’t believe us? Look to our subtle suggestion that Oscars host Conan O’Brien should be involving his longtime assistant, Sona Movsesian, in the Oscars. O’Brien seemed shockingly skeptical on the November 25 episode of SiriusXM’s Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, making Movsesian pitch herself. “I can’t sing, I can’t dance,†Movsesian explained. “I’m terrible if you have prepared material for me, but I can do any accent.†Sold!
Movsesian, humble queen that she is, is underselling herself a bit here. As such, we’ve come up with ten suggestions for roles Movsesian could do as part of the Oscars broadcast. Thank us later, specifically March 2, 2025.
1. Trophy Girl
Movsesian would be great at giving out the trophies to the winners, as long as her arms wouldn’t get too tired while holding the metal trophies. We still want her to have fun.
2. Loser-consoler
Maybe Movsesian could cheer them up with her accents?
3. Bartender
People in Hollywood love to drink.
4. Loser-interviewer
Instead of consoling them, Movsesian could shove a microphone in their faces!
5. Replacement host
Conan O’Brien? More like Conan O-where’s Sona?-Brien.
6. Microphone adjuster
Some people are extra tall and some people are extra short.
7. Presenter
Give her all the categories.
8. Usher
She could show people to their seats, and maybe even seat people next to each other that would make for an extra fun show. Put Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh together, Sona! Do it!
9. Heckler
What if O’Brien tells a bad joke? Who’s going to let him know?
10. Playoff
Speeches can go on so long, but if Movsesian’s there, her South African accent will clear the stage. Quickly.
