Conan O'Brien Hosts Oscars, Honors Rob Reiner

0:00Hey, it's Corey with Entertainment and celebrity news today. Your daily pop culture update. Conan O'Brien is set to host the 98th Academy Awards this Sunday in Hollywood for the second year in a row. He's also preparing a special tribute to his close friend, director Rob Reiner, who was murdered along with his wife in December at age 78. Reiner helmed classic films like When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men, and The Princess Bride. Reiner saw the couple just hours before the tragedy at his holiday party on December 13. Their son Nick now faces murder charges and awaits trial in Los Angeles. Earlier this week, while rolling out the Oscars red carpet, O'Brien described the on-air farewell as very powerful but held back details. He called it inappropriate to sum up there amid the buzz. O'Brien is pumped about this year's lineup, saying the movies have been incredible. He joked about his strong writing team and even skipping town at the show Flops. Meanwhile, security is extra tight at the Dolby Theatre after an FBI alert about a possible
