This year's Oscars will return to a cherished formula, with the goal of making the night even more memorable. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Field of Dreams format for acting categories will be reintroduced after a 15-year absence.
In this style, five previous winners in a certain category will introduce the five candidates. While the Academy keeps presenter information under wraps, it is likely that last year's acting winners Brendan Fraser, Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Jamie Lee Curtis, who are already on the list, will present the prizes.

The 96th Oscars, which will be hosted for the fourth time by Jimmy Kimmel, have already made history by featuring three films directed by women among the ten nominees for Best Picture, including Celine Song's Past Lives, Greta Gerwig's Barbie, and Justine Triet's Anatomy of a Fall. In an unexpected twist, Ryan Gosling, who is nominated for best supporting actor, will not only present an award but also amuse the crowd with his performance. The great actor has finally consented to perform I'm Just Ke from the Barbie movie with Mark Ronson, the song's co-writer.
One. More. Week!
