Although Mescal and Infiniti are not individually nominated for their respective appearances in “Hamnet” and “One Battle After Another,” both films have been recognized by the Academy; “Hamnet” received eight nominations and “One Battle After Another” received 13.
Brody, Culkin, Madison and Saldaña return to the stage as last year’s Oscar acting winners and will honor a new crop of victors, although the Academy has not yet to confirm which categories they will present.
Additional presenters for the show will be announced in the coming weeks.
This year’s nominations are led by Ryan Coogler’s record-breaking vampire film, “Sinners,” which garnered an all-time high of 16 nominations, with “One Battle After Another,” directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, following close behind by a total of 13 nods. Both films are nominated for best picture alongside “Bugonia,” “F1,” “Frankenstein,” “Hamnet,” “Marty Supreme,” “The Secret Agent,” “Sentimental Value” and “Train Dreams.”
Hosted by Conan O’Brien, the 98th Academy Awards will air live on ABC and stream live on Hulu on Sunday, March 15, at 7:00 p.m. ET/4:00 p.m. PT, with the official live red-carpet show, airing at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.
