Another batch of presenters for the 2026 Oscars was announced on Wednesday (March 11), so Sunday’s show is coming into focus. Jimmy Kimmel, a four-time Oscar host, will present this year. (Anne Hathaway, who co-hosted the 2011 ceremony with James Franco, is also set to present.)

Three current Oscar nominees are set to present, so they’ll hit the stage whether they win or lose in their categories. They are: Wagner Moura, nominated for best actor for The Secret Agent (and the first Brazilian actor ever nominated in that category); Rose Byrne, nominated for best actress for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, and Delroy Lindo, nominated for best supporting actor for Sinners.
Sinners set a new record as the most-nominated film in Oscar history, with 16 nods. Trailing Sinners on the nominations leaderboard are One Battle After Another (13 nods), Frankenstein, Marty Supreme and Sentimental Value (nine each) and Hamnet (eight).
Just two of the five nominated songs – “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters and “I Lied to You” from Sinners – will be performed live on the telecast. They are both being elaborately staged.
The KPop Demon Hunters moment begins with a fusion of traditional Korean instrumentalists and dance, celebrating the folklore and cultural inspiration that anchors the story behind this animated blockbuster. As part of this experience, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA and REI AMI, the singing voices behind HUNTR/X, will perform “Golden.”
Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq will perform “I Lied to You.” They will be joined by Misty Copeland, Eric Gales, Buddy Guy, Brittany Howard, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Jayme Lawson, Li Jun Li, Bobby Rush, Shaboozey and Alice Smith in an homage to what the Academy called “the film’s singular visual style.”
Josh Groban and the Los Angeles Master Chorale are also set to perform on the telecast.
The Academy have booked both a father and son, veteran actor Bill Pullman and his actor son Lewis Pullman, to present. Lewis Pullman joined Danielle Brooks to announce this year’s nominees on Jan. 22.
There have been media reports, as yet unconfirmed by the Academy, that Barbra Streisand may appear during the In Memoriam segment to honor Robert Redford, her costar in The Way We Were; that Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan will honor the late Rob Reiner, who directed them in When Harry Met Sally…; and that Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Melissa McCarthy, and Rose Byrne will present together, keyed to the 15th anniversary of their 2011 film Bridesmaids. (Rudolph and Byrne have been announced as presenters.)
Hosted by Conan O’Brien, the 98th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 15 at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. The show will be televised live at 7:00 p.m. ET/4:00 p.m. PT, on ABC and streamed live on Hulu. The official live red carpet show will air at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.
Here are all of the performers and presenters for the 2026 Oscars that have been announced to date. If any more performers or presenters are announced, this post will be updated.
