The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has announced its first presenters for the 97th Oscars. The previous year's acting winners are set to return to hand the Oscar to the next winner.

Four Academy Award winners are returning to the Oscars stage after winning last year in their respective acting categories.

For many involved in the Oscars, the fires have been felt acutely. O’Brien’s Pacific Palisades home survived but his family has been unable to go back to it. O’Brien’s assistant and podcast co-host Sona Movsesian lost her home.
