New batch of names join previously announced presenters such as Halle Berry, Penélope Cruz, and Elle Fanning. The list of celebrity presenters announced Wednesday includes first-time Oscar nominee Selena Gomez; Ben Stiller, Oprah Winfrey, Sterling K. Brown, Willem Dafoe, Ana de Armas, Lily-Rose Depp, Goldie Hawn, Connie Nielsen, and Joe Alwyn. It was also revealed that Nick Offerman will serve as the ceremony’s announcer.
They join previously announced presenters Halle Berry, Penélope Cruz, Elle Fanning, Whoopi Goldberg, Scarlett Johansson, John Lithgow, Amy Poehler, June Squibb and Bowen Yang. Earlier this month, the Academy confirmed it would continue the tradition of having last year’s Best Actor, Best Actress, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress winners (this time Cillian Murphy, Emma Stone, Robert Downey Jr. and Da’Vine Joy Randolph) present their respective awards at the March show.
The 97th Academy Awards, which will broadcast live on Sunday, March 2 on ABC, beginning at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, comes months after the Los Angeles area was devastated by wildfires. Organizers have vowed that this year’s ceremony will “celebrate the work that unites us as a global film community and acknowledge those who fought so bravely against the wildfires.”. “We are thrilled and honored to have the incomparable Conan O’Brien host the Oscars this year,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang said in November. “He is the perfect person to help lead our global celebration of film with his brilliant humor, his love of movies, and his live TV expertise.”.
