Who is presenting at the 2022 Oscars?

The 2022 Oscars are just around the corner and the list of presenters for the ceremony continues to grow.

Hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Oscars honor the greats in film both nationally and internationally. The awards are considered the most prestigious in the entertainment industry, and the honor bestowed upon those involved in creating the movies we love is a high one.

Will Packer, an Oscars producer, told The Hollywood Reporter that this year’s presenters may appear more varied than years before, and there’s a good reason for it.

“You need something other than just a chance to see stars. We have to make a show that is entertaining and appeals to a broad swath of the viewing public. My approach is to bring everybody together around the idea of a love for cinema. And so one of the things you’ll see is that not everyone involved with the show may be a movie person.”

He continued by sharing that he was happy to be going beyond the limits of the movie industry.

“I want to make sure this felt like something that was as wide-ranging and far-reaching as the movies themselves.”

So just who will you see presenting at the Oscars this year? Let’s take a look.
