Past hosts and winners in traditionally liberal Hollywood often commented on current events, at times sparking angry critiques from Donald Trump on social media.

傳統上屬於自由派的好萊塢，過去幾名主持人、得獎者通常會對時事發表評論，不時激起唐納．川普在社群媒體上的猛烈批評。

O’Brien, a first-time Oscars host, said at a press conference. "I want to do it with humor and also make sure the night doesn’t drift into only about that."

首次主持奧斯卡的歐布萊恩在新聞發佈會上提到，「我想以幽默的方式處理，也會確保那一晚不會只是在這個議題上打轉」。

O’Brien said he had a responsibility to celebrate the actors and craftspeople who worked on the nominated movies while acknowledging current events. "It’s a difficult line to walk, but I’m determined to do it," he said.

歐布萊恩說，他有責任在慶賀演員和創作者為提名作品付出心力的同時談論時事。「這不是一條簡單的道路，但我決心如此」。
