Farrell, who was in contention for the Best Actor award for his role in The Banshees of Inisherin, was approached during the ceremony by host Jimmy Kimmel, who relayed to him a “fan question”. The actor replied: “Watch SNL from last night.” His remark appeared to be a reference to the controversial SNL skit that aired on Saturday. The episode began with a cold open sketch set on the Oscars red carpet, in which presenters Mario Lopez and “Maria Menounos or Kit Hoover” interviewed various “celebrities”. Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell in ‘The Banshees of Inisherin' “Wow, and they haven’t even started drinking yet!” Hernandez responds, as Lopez.
