Josh Hutcherson, Scarlett Johansson, Zoe Saldana and Octavia Spencer are set to present at the 2015 Academy Awards.

The Academy continues to announce its star-studded line up of presenters, including new mothers Johansson and Saldana, as well as The Hunger Games’ Hutcherson and Oscar-winner Spencer. The four join previously announced presenters, including Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep, Benedict Cumberbatch, Marion Cotillard.

Winners Returning To Present

Returning to present after winning in 2014 are Cate Blanchett, Jared Leto, Matthew McConaughey and Lupita Nyong’o. It is tradition for the previous year’s winners to give out the awards for the acting categories of their opposite gender. For example, this year Blanchett, who took home an Oscar statue for her leading role in Blue Jasmine, will likely present the award of Best Actor in a Leading Role, and so on.

As Oscar night approaches, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron teased that the Academy would be announcing more presenters and performers throughout the week.

The 87th Academy Awards, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, will air live Sunday, Feb. 22 on ABC.
