Lady Gaga, Kevin Costner, Chris Rock, Zoë Kravitz, Rosie Perez, and Youn Yuh-jung will unveil winners at the 94th Academy Awards, show producers Will Packer and Shayla Cowan said Thursday. More presenters will be announced in the coming days. 

“Movies inspire us, entertain us and unite us across the globe. That’s the precise goal of the show this year, and we’re thrilled to welcome the first of a stellar lineup joining the Oscars stage to help us celebrate the power of film and honor the year’s best in filmmaking,” Packer said in a statement.

The 94th Oscars is scheduled to be held at the Dolby Theatre on March 27. Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes are hosting the show, which will be broadcast live on ABC at 8pm EDT. 

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga, who missed out on an Oscar nomination for her role in “House of Gucci,” will join Elton John to co-host the superstar’s charity Oscar watch party along with Billy Porter and “Will & Grace” star Eric McCormack. It is the 30th year the singer has hosted a viewing party to raise funds for his Elton John AIDS Foundation. This year’s event marks a return to an in-person gathering after last year’s party was held online due to the pandemic.

“Lady Gaga, Billy Porter and Eric McCormack are not only amazingly talented, but have greatly contributed to LGBTQ+ visibility and inclusion in entertainment – both on screen and in music,” said co-host David Furnish, who is the foundation’s chairman and John’s husband. “I’m honored to have this group to join me on stage in West Hollywood Park to advocate for all marginalized groups affected by HIV.”
