Oscars 2026 Best Dressed Celebrities: Nicole Kidman, Zoe Saldaña & More
Sometimes the sequel matches up to the original.
In the case of Bill Pullman and Lewis Pullman, the father-son duo had some fun while presenting the award for Best Editing at the 2026 Oscars, hosted by Conan O’Brien at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood March 15.
As the pair took the stage to present, Lewis, 33, joked about how a film editor’s role of shaping a film was similar to the influence the Independence Day actor had on his own career.
“But I didn't really shape anything,” Bill told his son. “I stayed behind the scenes.”
The 72-year-old also quipped, “I did think that there would be a place for you in livestock management. That didn't really work out.”
Lewis agreed with the Spaceballs alum, too.
“Yeah, big disappointment there,” the 33-year-old added, before taking a more sentimental turn. “We're lucky. Turns out audiences don't always mind the sequel.”
Recognizing the analogy, Bill—also dad to Maesa, 38, Jack, 37, with wife Tamara Hurwitz—continued, “I hope that they like the sequel even more than the original.”
While the Lewis and his dad strengthened their special bond while awarding Andy Jurgensen the Oscar for Best Film Editing for his work on One Battle After Another, the Top Gun: Maverick actor has been vocal about how his dad’s advice is “pretty invaluable because he knows me so well as a person."

"He knows what gets me excited, what makes me nervous, what scares me," Lewis previously told People. "And then he also has so much experience in the business and with the craft. So all of his advice is catered towards me. I don't know where I'd be at without it."
Of course, Bill and Lewis weren’t the only stars to show up and show out at the 2026 Oscars. Read on to check out all the other celebs who attended the event.
