We’re only days away from the 96th Oscars ceremony, and the anticipation is higher than ever. To add to the excitement, the Academy has confirmed some presenters, including names such as Zendaya, Michelle Pfeiffer, Al Pacino and more.
Other presenters include last year’s winners Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan. One of the traditions of the Academy is that winners in the acting categories present the same award to the opposite gender the following year. However, sometimes they switch things up.
