The 2020 Oscars won’t have a host for the second year in a row, but they’ve recruited a small army of A-listers as presenters to give the show some sheen.

Oscar winners Mahershala Ali, Olivia Colman, Regina King and Rami Malek will be among the presenters at the 92nd Academy Awards, doling out awards on Sunday, Feb. 9, from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Calif.

Ali won the 2019 Best Supporting Actor statue for “Green Book,” as well as the same honor for the 2017 indie film “Moonlight.” Colman captured last year’s Best Actress win for “The Favourite,” with Malek scoring the Best Actor statue for his portrayal of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in the biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody.” King won the 2019 Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Barry Jenkins’ adaptation of the James Baldwin novel “If Beale Street Could Talk.”

A pair of two-time Oscar-winners also joined the lineup: Tom Hanks (“Forrest Gump,” “Philadelphia”), who is a 2020 nominee for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” and Jane Fonda (“Coming Home,” “Klute”).

“Saturday Night Live” alums Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig, four-time Emmy winner Chris Rock, Mindy Kaling (“The Office”), Josh Gad (“Avenue 5”), Zazie Beetz (“Atlanta”), Timothée Chalamet (“Little Women”), Gal Gadot (“Wonder Woman”), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (“Veep”), “In The Heights” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, Anthony Ramos (“Hamilton”), Mark Ruffalo (“Avengers”) and Kelly Marie Tran (“Star Wars”) will also help hand out awards.

Broadway star Utkarsh Ambudkar, Oscar Isaac (“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”), Taika Waititi (“The Mandalorian”), Golden Globe- and Emmy-winner Sandra Oh (“Killing Eve,” “Grey’s Anatomy”), Salma Hayek (“Like a Boss”), Oscar-winners Natalie Portman (“Black Swan”) and Brie Larson (“Room”), Academy Award-winning director Spike Lee (“BlacKkKlansman”), Ray Romano (“The Irishman”), Rebel Wilson (“Pitch Perfect”), “Late Late Show” funnyman James Corden, Penélope Cruz (“Pain and Glory”), Beanie Feldstein (“Booksmart”), Zack Gottsagen (“The Peanut Butter Falcon”), Diane Keaton (“Annie Hall”), Shia LaBeouf (“Honey Boy”), George MacKay (“1917”), Steve Martin (“Pink Panther”), Keanu Reeves (“John Wick”), Maya Rudolph (“Bridesmaids”) and Sigourney Weaver (“Alien”) round out the list of presenters.

The Oscars decided on going against the route taken by the Golden Globes, which signed up host Ricky Gervais. The funnyman ripped Hollywood a new sass-hole by skewering Leonardo DiCaprio’s seemingly age-inappropriate dates, James Corden’s and Judi Dench’s performances in “Cats” and Felicity Huffman’s time in jail after the college admissions scandal. Even with Gervais at the helm, tossing out brash bon mots, the ratings took a dip.

Instead, a stream of celebrity presenters will keep things moving with their own jesty jabs, rather than those of a single host, as the Oscars pursue viewership levels on par with last year. Last year the show reached 29.6 million viewers; the 2018 awards recorded a new audience low of 26.54 million.

The 2019 Oscars featured celebs such as “Saturday Night Live” veterans Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph, as well as show-stopping performances — including an intimate “Shallow” duet by “A Star Is Born” actors Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper and a medley of music by Queen in a nod to “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

The 2020 Oscars ceremony will broadcast live Feb. 9 starting at 8 p.m. on ABC.
