Star-Studded Line-Up for 97th Oscars: Oprah, Selena, and More Step Up!
It’s almost that time of year again – Hollywood’s biggest night is right around the corner, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is cranking up the star power! As we gear up for the 97th Oscars on March 2, the presenter roster is looking dazzling, with heavy hitters like Oprah Winfrey, Selena Gomez, and Ben Stiller joining the fun. Not to be outshone, Nick Offerman has been tapped as the ceremony’s announcer, promising some witty commentary that could become the talk of the town.
This year’s presenter list has been bursting at the seams with familiar faces. Alongside the likes of Winfrey and Gomez, expect to see Hollywood veterans such as Goldie Hawn, Willem Dafoe, and Ana de Armas. And if you thought that was impressive, Halle Berry and Whoopi Goldberg are set to take the stage too. The Oscars really won’t be short on glam this season! The presenters lineup includes last year’s winners, with Cillian Murphy, Emma Stone, Robert Downey Jr., and Da’Vine Joy Randolph presenting awards for Best Actor, Actress, and Supporting categories. That’s a nice touch to keep the circle of winners going!
Conan O’Brien is making his hosting debut, elevating the excitement as the ceremony kicks off at a newly formatted live broadcast time of 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET on ABC. This schedule change, introduced last year, allows for a more manageable viewing experience, avoiding those late-night stretches that have plagued Oscars past. But don’t worry, it still holds onto the glitter and glitz we all tune in for.
As we anticipate other surprises and presentations, keep your eyes peeled for any late additions. The Oscars always promise a few twists up their sparkly sleeves! With such a star-studded list, it’s bound to be a memorable evening filled with glitz, glam, and maybe a few unexpected moments. So don your best attire (or your coziest pajamas – no judgment here) and prepare for an Oscars night that’s shaping up to be electric!
