Lady Gaga, who missed out on a best actress Oscar nomination for her “House of Gucci” role, will be on the Academy Awards stage after all, as a presenter. So will Anthony Hopkins, after missing last year’s Oscars show, when he upset the late Chadwick Boseman for best actor. And so will last year’s supporting actor winner Daniel Kaluuya.
Kaluuya, Mila Kunis, Lupita Nyong’o, Naomi Scott, Wesley Snipes and John Travolta are among the third batch of high-profile presenters to be announced for the 94th Oscars, producers Will Packer and Shayla Cowan announced Friday.
Gaga, along with Hopkins, Lily James, John Leguizamo, Simu Liu, Rami Malek, Uma Thurman, Kevin Costner, new Catwoman Zoë Kravitz, Rosie Perez, former Oscar host Chris Rock, “Minari” Oscar winner Yuh-jung Youn and Ruth E. Carter (“Black Panther”), the first Black person to win an Oscar for costume design, were previously announced by the academy as presenters.

Oscar night will be a busy night for Gaga, who will also co-host the annual Elton John Oscar viewing party, along with Billy Porter and Eric McCormack.
Gaga and Bradley Cooper were the stars of the 2019 Oscars when they performed “Shallow” from “A Star Is Born,” for which Gaga won best song.
