Adrien Brody, Mikey Madison, Zoe Saldaña and Kieran Culkin Set as First Presenters for 98th Oscars

Last year's Oscar acting winners — Adrien Brody, Kieran Culkin, Mikey Madison, and Zoe Saldaña — will be back at the 98th Academy Awards to present trophies to this year's winners.

Raj Kapoor, the show's executive producer and showrunner, and Katy Mullan, an executive producer, announced the four as the first official presenters for the upcoming ceremony.

Brody won his second best actor Oscar, after "The Pianist" in 2002, for his role as an architect and Holocaust survivor in "The Brutalist."

 Madison won best actress for playing the main character, a stripper, in the dramedy "Anora." Culkin and Saldaña both won supporting actor and actress awards last year. Culkin won for his role as a snarky cousin on a Jewish heritage tour in "A Real Pain," and Saldaña won for her role as a struggling attorney in the Spanish-language musical "Emilia Pérez."

The Academy has always kept things traditional by bringing back the previous year’s acting winners to present the awards.

 In some years, the show swaps presenters' genders, with the previous male winners presenting the current year’s female awards and vice versa. Other years have used the "fab five" format, where five past winners from a category take the stage to honor the nominees. So far, the Academy and the production team haven't said which categories Brody, Culkin, Madison, and Saldaña will present.

This year's Oscar nominations are led by "Sinners," a bold and bloody vampire saga directed by Ryan Coogler that received a record 16 nominations.

 Paul Thomas Anderson's political action film "One Battle After Another" came in second with 13 nominations. Both films are in the best picture category along with "Bugonia," "F1," "Frankenstein," "Hamnet," "Marty Supreme," "The Secret Agent," "Sentimental Value," and "Train Dreams."

As the awards season approaches its end, the next big hints about what might win will come from the 79th BAFTA Awards this Sunday, followed by the Producers Guild of America Awards on February 28 and the Actor Awards (formerly SAG Awards) on March 1.

Oscar voting is open from February 26 through March 5.

 Conan O'Brien will host the telecast, which will be live on March 15 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. The ceremony will be broadcast on ABC and streamed live on Hulu. It will air in more than 200 countries around the world.
