Most of the new choices make sense, as actors like Simmons had a major year in 2021 with hits likeSpider-Man: No Way HomeandBeing the Ricardos. The Williams sisters also make great choices, asKing Richardis nominated for Best Picture and is based on their upbringing. That film is also up for an additional four awards, including Best Actor forWill Smith’s performance as their fatherRichard Williams. It will be interesting to see which actors are paired together since, as of now, we only know Momoa and Brolin are presenting together.
These final presenters come off a slew of new announcements this week from The Academy which includesVanessa Hudgens,Terrence J, andBrandon Maxwellbeing chosen asThe Oscars Red Carpet Show’s hosts. The 94th Oscars will be hosted byAmy Schumer,Regina Halland Wanda Sykes. The show will air on Sunday, March 27, at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on ABC.
