Oscars 2025 presenters: Which stars are presenting awards at the ceremony?
As ever, an impressive line-up of Hollywood royalty and former winners will be taking to the stage at the Dolby Theatre alongside host Conan O'Brien.
After months of debate, campaigning and controversy, the 97th Academy Awards are finally here to announce what Hollywood believes to be the greatest films and performances of the past year.
In a shake-up to recent editions, Jimmy Kimmel has exited the long-running ceremony, with former late night host and The Simpsons golden age legend Conan O'Brien stepping up to fill the risky role of Oscar host.
The glamorous event has been prone to unexpected moments in recent years, from the Will Smith slap to the mistaken announcement of La La Land as Best Picture, meaning O'Brien needs to be ready for near enough anything.
Luckily, he'll have plenty of back-up from some of Hollywood's most prominent names, with recent winners Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr, Emma Stone and Da'Vine Joy Randolph among the line-up enlisted to present the individual categories.
Alas, a previously confirmed name has had to drop out at the last moment, with Variety reporting that Captain America: Brave New World star Harrison Ford will no longer be appearing at the Oscars after developing shingles. He is recovering at home.

Who is hosting the Oscars 2025?
The man in charge of presiding over the ceremony is comedian and legendary talk show host Conan O'Brien – who was announced as the host back in November 2024.
It will be O'Brien's first time as host, and he replaces his fellow talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, who had fronted the previous two Oscars nights but reportedly turned down the chance to return for his third consecutive year (and his fifth time in total).

Speaking to ABC News ahead of the ceremony, O'Brien revealed that he hoped to strike the right tone between humour and respect – as well as honouring those affected by the LA fires earlier in the year.
"The Oscars is a show that is very much a hometown show. It's a Los Angeles show, so what's happened here needs to be addressed," he said. "It's a celebration of hard work that's been done by many people."
He added: "There's a needle to thread, there's a line to walk, and I'm determined to do that correctly. But I want to make sure there's humour, that we have some fun, and that we have some joy."
