The A-list stars and others in attendance at Sunday nights 2026 Oscars were treated to snack boxes placed under their seats.

A tradition for the annual ceremony celebrating film, the boxes placed under seats included a bag of popcorn, a bottle of water and either Mike and Ikes or Junior Mints. Trail Mix was available in the lobby.

Host Conan OBrien left a note in the box alongside a sketch of himself and note that read, I hope you enjoy this Conan OBrien Moderately Happy Meal. These snacks may not look like much but in any movie theater they would run you $85. Good luck tonight, have fun, and remember that loud, enthusiastic laughter is good for your health and my ego. When Conan OBrien hosted last years show, guests were given swedish fish, a pretzel and water.
