Star presenters Demi Moore, Javier Bardem, Chris Evans & more join Conan O'Brien at the 2026 Oscars. See who's taking the stage.

AceShowbiz - The lineup of presenters for the 2026 Academy Awards has expanded to include Demi Moore, Javier Bardem, Chris Evans, Chase Infiniti, Maya Rudolph, and Kumail Nanjiani. These stars will take the stage during the ceremony hosted once again by Conan O'Brien.
Chase Infiniti is prominently featured in One Battle After Another, the film that holds the second highest number of nominations this year with 13 nods. Despite not receiving a Best Actress nomination—a surprising omission—Infiniti is guaranteed an appearance on the Oscar stage as a presenter, regardless of how her film performs on the night.
Similarly, Demi Moore returns to present after narrowly missing last year’s Best Actress award, which many critics expected her to win for her role in The Substance. That film was nominated for five awards last year. The 2025 Best Actress winner Mikey Madison (for Anora) was already announced as a presenter, alongside fellow acting winners from the previous year: Adrien Brody (Best Actor), Kieran Culkin (Best Supporting Actor), and Zoe Saldaña (Best Supporting Actress).
The announcement of this new group of presenters was made public Thursday by executive producer and showrunner Raj Kapoor, together with executive producer Katy Mullan.
The 2026 Oscars ceremony will be broadcast live on ABC and streamed on Hulu from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 15, commencing at 4 p.m. Pacific Time. This marks the second consecutive year that Conan O'Brien will host the event.
Leading the Oscar nominations this year is Sinners, which has set a record with 16 total nods. In addition, it has been confirmed that only two of the Best Original Song nominees—“Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters and “I Lied to You” from Sinners—will be performed live during the ceremony.
With an exciting roster of presenters and record-breaking nominations, the 2026 Oscars promise a star-studded and memorable evening celebrating the best in film.
