Last year’s acting champions Adrien Brody, Mikey Madison, Zoe Saldaña, and Kieran Culkin will present at the upcoming 98th Oscars ceremony on March 15th. Brody earned his second best actor trophy for The Brutalist, while Madison won best actress for Anora. Culkin and Saldaña captured supporting awards for A Real Pain and Emilia Pérez respectively. The Academy traditionally invites previous winners to present current honors, sometimes using gender-swapped formatting where male winners present female categories and vice versa. This year’s nominations are dominated by Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s vampire film earning a record 16 nominations, followed by One Battle After Another with 13 nods. Both compete for best picture alongside eight other films. Additional presenters will be revealed soon. Conan O’Brien returns as host
