Robert Downey Jr., Emma Stone, Cillian Murphy and Da’Vine Joy Randolph were named as the first group of presenters for the 2025 Oscars.
All four presenters announced on Wednesday went home with an Academy Award at last year’s ceremony. Downey Jr. won the best supporting actor Oscar last year for his role as Lewis Strauss in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Similarly, his costar Murphy, who played the titular character Robert Oppenheimer, won best actor. Randolph won best supporting actress for her performance in The Holdovers, while Stone took home the gold for her role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things.
Stone, of course, previously won best actress for La La Land in 2017. Last year marked the first Oscar win for Downey Jr. (although he had been nominated twice before), Murphy and Randolph.
While the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does not announce who will present in what category, it often follows a format where past winners of a category present the award to the current nominees.
Hosted by Conan O’Brien, the Oscars will air live on ABC and stream on Hulu March 2 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. More presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.
