Conan O’Brien remained largely apolitical while hosting the Oscars on Sunday night, save for his one subtle dig at President Trump and Russia.

Conan’s joke came after the fan-favorite Anora, about a prostitute marrying a Russian oligarch, won two Oscars for editing and original screenplay.

“Anora is having a good night. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian,” Conan joked.

Critics of President Trump have characterized his desire to set a peace deal in Ukraine after Russia’s invasion of the country as an acquiescence to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Paul Roland Bois directed the award-winning Christian tech thrillerEXEMPLUM, which has a 100% Rotten Tomatoes critic rating and can be viewed for FREE on YouTube, Tubi, or Fawesome TV. “Better than Killers of the Flower Moon,” wrote Mark Judge. “You haven’t seen a story like this before,” wrote Christian Toto.
