Oscar producers Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd today announced the second slate of presenters for the 89th Oscars® telecast.  Last year’s acting winners – Leonardo DiCaprio, Brie Larson, Mark Rylance and Alicia Vikander – were previously announced as the first presenters for this year’s big show.

“These actors are why we love to go to the movies,” said De Luca and Todd.  “From blockbusters to art house films, these artists deliver every time and we’re thrilled to welcome them to the 89th Oscars stage.”

This second slate includes Oscar winners Halle Berry and Shirley MacLaine, Oscar nominees Samuel L. Jackson and Hailee Steinfeld, and Chris Evans, Kate McKinnon, Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Gael Bernal García and Scarlett Johansson.

At this time, there is no word of any performers of the Oscar-nominated songs, including Best Actor and Best Actress nominees Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone from the 14-time nominated La La Land, which has two songs represented in the Best Original Song category.

The 89th Oscars will be held on Sunday, February 26, 2017, at the Dolby Theatre® at Hollywood & Highland Center® in Hollywood, and will be broadcast live on the ABC Television Network at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.  The Oscars, produced by De Luca and Todd and hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, also will be televised in more than 225 countries and territories worldwide.
