The 2025 Oscars are just around the corner, and the first batch of presenters has been announced! For the highly anticipated ceremony on March 2, the Academy has revealed an exciting lineup that includes some of Hollywood’s biggest names: Cillian Murphy, Emma Stone, Robert Downey Jr., and Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
These four stars, all 2024 Oscar winners, will be presenting the top acting awards—Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress. It’s shaping up to be a night filled with excitement, glamour, and a few surprises!
What to Expect at the Oscars 2025
As part of a Hollywood tradition, the previous year’s winners are invited to return and present the acting awards for the next crop of nominees. Cillian Murphy, who won Best Actor for his role in “Oppenheimer”, will present the Best Actor category, while Emma Stone, who snagged Best Actress for “Poor Things”, will hand over the golden statue for Best Actress.
Robert Downey Jr., fresh off his Best Supporting Actor win, will present Best Supporting Actor, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who won Best Supporting Actress for “The Holdovers”, will present the Best Supporting Actress award. This tradition of having last year’s winners present goes back to the 1930s and represents the passing of the torch from one generation of stars to the next.
It’s a symbolic moment that ties the rich history of cinema to its future. Not only does it honor the previous year’s winners, but it also creates an exciting and emotional full-circle moment. It’s a chance for stars to return to the stage and share in the magic of the Oscars once more, while welcoming the next group of talented nominees to Hollywood’s elite circle. Get ready for a night full of unforgettable moments and glitz! The Oscars are on March 2nd on ABC at 8 EST with Conan O’Brien as the host.
