The 96th edition of the Academy Awards is coming up soon – on the night of March 10th to 11th, to be precise. In order to bring the Oscars to the lucky winners, there will once again be numerous and well-known laudators this year. In the meantime, the first wave of stars who will be given this important task has been announced on the event’s official homepage.
It is customary at the Oscars for the four winners in the acting categories to present a golden boy. 2024 is no exception, so viewers can expect appearances from Brendan Fraser (55, awarded for “The Whale) as well as Michelle Yeoh (61), Ke Huy Quan (52) and Jamie Lee Curtis (65, all awarded for ” Everything Everywhere All at Once”).
The other laudators also include Michelle Pfeiffer (65), Nicolas Cage (60), Al Pacino (83) and Zendaya (27), who are currently, not least thanks to their impressive performances in the course of “Dune: Part 2” – cinema release (February 29th) is already on everyone’s lips. Also listed: Mahershala Ali (50), Jessica Lange (74), Matthew McConaughey (54), Lupita Nyong’o (40) and Sam Rockwell (55).
The actors Zazie Beetz (32, “Joker”) and Jack Quaid (31, “The Boys”) announced this year’s nominations for the world’s most important film award on January 23rd. With 13 entries, Christopher Nolan’s (53) drama “Oppenheimer” about the eponymous “father of the atomic bomb” has the most chances. “Poor Things” by Giorgos Lanthimos (50) and “Killers of the Flower Moon” by old master Martin Scorsese (81) follow “Oppenheimer” with 11 and 10 nominations.
Germany is also worried thanks, among other things, to Sandra Hülser (leading actress in “Anatomy of a Case”) and “The Teacher’s Room” (Best Foreign Language Film). Like last year, the Oscars will be presented by comedian Jimmy Kimmel (56).
