Selena Gomez, Joe Alwyn and More Added to Oscars Presenters, Nick Offerman Tapped as Announcer

More Oscars presenters have been announced, including Joe Alwyn, Sterling K. Brown, Willem Dafoe, Ana de Armas, Lily-Rose Depp, Selena Gomez, Goldie Hawn, Connie Nielsen, Ben Stiller and Oprah Winfrey, while Nick Offerman will serve as the announcer for this year’s ceremony.

They join Halle Berry, Penélope Cruz, Elle Fanning, Whoopi Goldberg, Scarlett Johansson, John Lithgow, Amy Poehler, June Squibb, Bowen Yang and last year’s Oscar winners Emma Stone, Cillian Murphy, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Robert Downey Jr., who were previously announced.

Stone won best actress for playing Bella Baxter in “Poor Things” by Yorgos Lanthimos; Murphy was best actor for his role as J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer”; Randolph won best supporting actress for her performance as Mary Lamb in “The Holdovers,” directed by Alexander Payne; and Downey Jr. won best supporting actor for playing Lewis Strauss in “Oppenheimer.”

Stone is a two-time Oscar winner, having won previously for her role in Damien Chazelle’s “La La Land.” Murphy, Randolph and Downey Jr. were all first-time winners in 2024.

When accepting her second Oscar, Stone told the crowd that she had been “panicking” about the possibility of winning the award. “Yorgos said to me, please take yourself out of it. And he was right, because it’s not about me. It’s about a team that came together to make something greater than the sum of its parts.”

Conan O’Brien will host the 97th Oscars ceremony, which will be held at the Dolby Theatre March 2 at 4 p.m. PT and 7 p.m. ET. Viewers can tune into the show on ABC or stream it live on Hulu, an option added for the first time this year. The red carpet begins airing at 30 minutes before the ceremony.

The production team includes executive producer and showrunner Raj Kapoor, executive producer Katy Mullan, co-executive producer Rob Pain and producers Sarah Levine Hall, Taryn Hurd, Jeff Ross and Mike Sweeney. Mandy Moore is supervising choreographer, and Noah Mitz and Bob Dickinson will be lighting designers. Hamish Hamilton will direct the show.
