Oscars Add More Presenters to Already Star-Studded List with Diane Keaton, Steve Martin, James Corden, Keanu Reeves and More

Share

The Oscars keep adding presenters to their already all star list.

New names today reflect Hollywood royalty with Diane Keaton and long time favorite Steve Martin plus newer award winners like Penelope Cruz. (Hey, what about Javier?) Sigourney Weaver won’t be “Alien”-ated– she’ll be there. Also talk show host James Corden, who survived “Cats,” and the always popular John Wick, aka Keanu Reeves.

From the newer world of stars will come the great Beanie Feldstein from “Booksmart,”George MacKay, from “1917,” and  Zack Gottsagen and Shia LaBeouf from “The Peanut Butter Falcon.” A little PS on Beanie– her brother Jonah Hill presented many years ago, so now we’ve got a siblings match.

To top that off: Maya Rudolph! I’ll watch Maya Rudolph on any show. Maybe she’ll bring Tina and Amy, unless the Golden Globes preclude it.

Plus, of course, Billie Eilish, and musical performances from Elton John, Cynthia Erivo, Idina Menzel, Christy Metz, and Randy Newman.

People I’d like to see: more vets like Jane Fonda, Warren Beatty, Dustin Hoffman, Michael Douglas, Shirley Maclaine, etc
