PETALING JAYA:
Malaysia’s own Michelle Yeoh will be among presenters at the 96th Academy Awards ceremony next month, Bernama reported today citing the German Press Agency (DPA).

Yeoh’s “Everything Everywhere All At Once” co-stars Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis are also slated to present during showbiz’s biggest night of the year at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Other A-listers named include Brendan Fraser from “The Whale”, as well as “Dune” star Zendaya, who will join Oscar winner Al Pacino and three-time nominee Michelle Pfeiffer.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences further cited Mahershala Ali, Nicolas Cage, Jessica Lange, Lupita Nyong’o, Sam Rockwell and Matthew McConaughey as being among the first group of star-studded presenters.

More celebrities will be added to the line-up ahead of the ceremony, which will be hosted for the fourth time by late-night US talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel.

Yeoh, 61, took home the Best Actress award last year for her role as Evelyn Wang, making her the first Malaysian to win an Oscar. Ke and Curtis won Best Supporting Actor and Actress, respectively.

The 96th Academy Awards will be broadcast live from Los Angeles on March 10.
