Hollywood is preparing for another glittering night at the movies’ most prestigious stage. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled the latest wave of presenters for the 2026 Oscars, adding more star power to an already stacked lineup.
Oscar winners Robert Downey Jr., Anne Hathaway, and Gwyneth Paltrow will take the stage alongside Oscar nominee Paul Mescal, Emmy-nominated actor and comedian Will Arnett, and global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas to present awards during the ceremony on March 15.
Executive producer and showrunner Raj Kapoor and producer Katy Mullan confirmed the new additions, marking the third round of talent revealed for Hollywood’s biggest night.
The presenters join a previously announced roster that already reads like a red-carpet dream team. Among them are Adrien Brody, Javier Bardem, Kieran Culkin, Chris Evans, Demi Moore, Kumail Nanjiani, Maya Rudolph, Mikey Madison, Chase Infiniti, and Zoe Saldaña.
As tradition dictates, last year’s acting winners will return to the stage to present the 2026 trophies. Madison will hand out Best Actress, Brody will present Best Actor, Saldaña will award Supporting Actress, and Culkin will reveal the Supporting Actor winner. The Academy has yet to confirm which categories the newly announced presenters will oversee.
Beyond the presenters, the awards race itself remains fiercely competitive. Director Ryan Coogler leads the pack with his ambitious vampire epic Sinners, which has amassed a record-breaking 16 nominations. Close behind sits Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, scoring 13 nods. The Best Picture lineup also includes Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, and Train Dreams.
Comedian Conan O’Brien will host the ceremony, which unfolds live from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The broadcast airs on ABC and streams on Hulu, reaching audiences across more than 200 territories worldwide.
With a high-stakes awards race and a lineup packed with Hollywood heavyweights, the 2026 Oscars are shaping up to be one of the most star-studded ceremonies in recent memory.
