The Academy Awards has revealed its first set of presenters for the Oscars 2020, and the list features filmmaker Kevin Costner, The Batman star Zoe Kravitz, pop star-actor Lady Gaga and comedian Chris Rock. Supporting actress winner for 2020’s Minari, Yuh-Jung Youn, and Oscar-nominated actor Rosie Perez will also be presenting at the 94th Academy Awards.

“Movies inspire us, entertain us and unite us across the globe. That’s the precise goal of the show this year, and we’re thrilled to welcome the first of a stellar line up joining the Oscars stage to help us celebrate the power of film and honour the year’s best in filmmaking,” Oscars’ producer Will Packer said in a statement. The producers will announce more talent joining the show in the coming weeks.

The 94th Oscars will be held on March 27, 2022, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The ceremony will be televised in more than 200 territories worldwide. Filmmaker Jane Campion’s Western The Power of the Dog, a psychological drama set in the director’s native New Zealand, is leading this year’s Oscar race, with Denis Villeneuve’s ambitious adaptation of Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi novel Dune closely following.
