2025 Oscar nominee Zoe Saldaña, along with Harrison Ford, Samuel L. Jackson, Dave Bautista, Gal Gadot, Andrew Garfield, Margaret Qualley, Alba Rohrwacher and Rachel Zegler have joined the list of presenters for the 97th Academy Awards, executive producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan announced Wednesday.
More talent will be announced in the final lead-up the Oscars.
The nine new additions join previously announced presenters Joe Alwyn, Halle Berry, Sterling K. Brown, Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Ana de Armas, Lily-Rose Depp, Elle Fanning, Whoopi Goldberg, Selena Gomez, Goldie Hawn, Scarlett Johansson, John Lithgow, Connie Nielsen, Amy Poehler, June Squibb, Ben Stiller, Oprah Winfrey and Bowen Yang.
Last year’s acting winners Emma Stone, Cillian Murphy, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Robert Downey Jr. will also be on hand to present. Nick Offerman has been tapped as the announcer.
“Emilia Pérez,” for which Saldaña is the supporting actress frontrunner, leads all nominations with 13. (Maligned “Emilia Pérez” star Karla Sofía Gascón, a best actress nominee, is expected to attend the Oscars following a social media firestorm.) “The Brutalist” and “Wicked” are tied for second place with 10 nods apiece. Oscar-nominated “Wicked” leads Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande will perform during the ceremony.
The Oscars, hosted by Conan O’Brien for the first time, airs live coast-to-coast from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on Sunday at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET on ABC and streams live on Hulu.
