A few days before the Oscars, the list of laudators is now complete. Among them are stars like Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling.
A few days before the 96th edition of the Academy Awards on March 10th, all laudators for the Oscar ceremony have now been chosen. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced 16 more names on Tuesday (March 5).
Accordingly, Emily Blunt (41), America Ferrera (39) and Ryan Gosling (43), who are each nominated for a golden boy, will award prizes to their colleagues. Also on the list: Cynthia Erivo (37), Sally Field (77), Ariana Grande (30), Ben Kingsley (80), Melissa McCarthy (53) and Issa Rae (39) as well as Tim Robbins (65), Steven Spielberg ( 77), Mary Steenburgen (71), Anya Taylor-Joy (27), Charlize Theron (48), Christoph Waltz (67) and Forest Whitaker (62).
Other well-known laudators
At the end of February, the Academy had already announced the laudators. On the one hand, these include the four winners of the acting categories from last year – Brendan Fraser (55), Michelle Yeoh (61), Ke Huy Quan (52) and Jamie Lee Curtis (65). Also Michelle Pfeiffer (65), Nicolas Cage (60), Al Pacino (83) as well as Zendaya (27), Mahershala Ali (50), Jessica Lange (74), Matthew McConaughey (54), Lupita Nyong’o (40) as well Sam Rockwell (55).

Who will perform on the Oscar stage?
The performances have also been decided in advance. These are the five songs nominated in the “Best Song” category: Jon Batiste (37) with “It Never Went Away” from “American Symphony”, Becky G (27) with “The Fire Inside” from “Flamin’ Hot “, Billie Eilish (22) and Finneas O’Connell (26) with “What Was I Made For?” from “Barbie”, Scott George and the Osage Singers with “Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)” from “Killers of the Flower Moon” as well as Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson (48) with “I’m Just Ken” from “Barbie”.
Jimmy Kimmel hosts the Oscars
The Oscars will take place on the night of March 10th to 11th, with Jimmy Kimmel (56) hosting the award show for the fourth time.
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 Martin Scorsese (81) follow with eleven and ten 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).
