The Final List of Academy Awards Presenters Has Been Announced

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences unveiled the final group of presenters for the 2026 Oscars, set to air on Sunday, March 15, from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California.  This new presenting group for the 98th Academy Awards includes 3 nominees in acting categories: Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), Delroy Lindo (Sinners), and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent).

Executive producers Katy Mullen and Raj Kappor, also acting as the showrunner, made the announcement.  Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor, Pedro Pascal, Bill Pullman, Lewis Pullman, Channing Tatum, and Sigourney Weaver were also announced amongst the final group of presenters.  If you are familiar with the Oscars, you will know that it is customary for the previous years’ winners to also serve as presenters.  This includes the likes of Mikey Madison, who won Best Actress in a Leading Role for Anora in 2025, and Adrien Brody, who won Best Actor in a Leading Role for The Brutalist in 2025.  The Hollywood Reporter listed previously announced presenters, including Madison and Brody.

Previously announced presenters include Will Arnett, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Robert Downey Jr., Anne Hathaway, Paul Mescal, Gwyneth Paltrow, Adrien Brody, Javier Bardem, Kieran Culkin, Chris Evans, Chase Infiniti, Mikey Madison, Demi Moore, Kumail Nanjiani, Maya Rudolph and Zoe Saldaña.

The two films with the most nominations are Sinners with 16 nominations and One Battle After Another with 13 nominations.  It is widely believed that one of these two films will be crowned Best Picture.  One Battle After Another notably took the “precursors”, as Paul Thomas Anderson’s film won Best Film at the BAFTAs and Best Picture at the Critics’ Choice Awards.  Ryan Coogler’s Sinners has picked up major steam as of late, specifically at the Actor Awards, where the film won Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and Michael B. Jordan won Outstanding Male Actor in a Leading Role for his performance.

The show will be hosted by Conan O’Brien and Matt Berry will be the announcer for the broadcast.  The full nominations for the show can be found here.
