While the 92nd Annual Academy Awards will once again forgo a host, there will be plenty of star-studded presentations throughout the evening as Hollywood celebrates its biggest event of the year. Prior to Sunday’s award ceremony, the Academy announced that last year’s acting winners, Mahershala Ali, Olivia Colman, Regina King and Rami Malek, be among those presenting during the ceremony.
At last year’s Oscars, Ali took home Best Supporting Actor for his role in Green Book, while the Best Supporting Actress Award went to King for If Beale Street Could Talk. For Best Actor and Actress, Malek won for his role in Bohemian Rhapsody and Colman for The Favourite. While the awards they would be presenting this year were not specified by the Academy, it is traditional that they would present for the category which they previously won.
