Lady Gaga will be on the Oscar stage after all, as a presenter with Jamie Lee Curtis, Shawn Mendes
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 horror icon Jamie Lee Curtis and pop singer Shawn Mendes.
Curtis, Mendes, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Woody Harrelson, Samuel L. Jackson, Tyler Perry, Tracee Ellis Ross and newcomer Halle Bailey, the star of Disney’s upcoming live-action “The Little Mermaid,” are among the high-profile presenters announced for the 94th Oscars, producers Will Packer and Shayla Cowan announced Tuesday.
Gaga, along with Hopkins, Daniel Kaluuya, Mila Kunis, Lupita Nyong’o, Naomi Scott, Wesley Snipes, John Travolta, 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.
