Oscars: Academy Announces First 11 Presenters-Performers, Including Lady Gaga and The Weeknd

The Academy has just announced the first 11 presenters of a long list scheduled for the February 28th show.

Since I know you’re wondering, 4 of the 11 are black. It’s all good. Kevin Hart, Whoopi Goldberg, The Weeknd, and Pharrell Williamn. The rest are Tina Fey, Ryan Gosling, Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Charlize Theron, and 8 year old Jacob Tremblay.

Gaga, Weeknd, and Pharrell are likely performers. So is Smith.

Chris Rock hosts. Reginald Hudlin and David Hill are producers. No word yet on who is coming out dressed as The Bear from “The Revenant.”

More to come…
