The 2020 Oscars just got some comic relief.
The Academy Awards announced its second batch of presenters Tuesday, adding comedians Will Ferrell, Mindy Kaling and Kristen Wiig to a star-studded lineup. The “Saturday Night Live” alums and “The Office” star join 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”).
The additions follow the recent announcement that 2019 Oscar winners Mahershala Ali (“Green Book”), Olivia Colman (“The Favourite”), Regina King (“If Beale Street Could Talk”) and Rami Malek (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) will help hand out gold-plated bronze statuettes this year.
The Oscars also revealed that Cynthia Erivo (“Harriet”), Elton John (“Rocketman”), Idina Menzel (“Frozen 2”), Chrissy Metz (“Breakthrough”) and Randy Newman (“Toy Story 4”) will perform the five tunes they each recorded that were nominated for Best Original Song.
The 2020 Academy Awards ceremony will kick off at 8 p.m. Feb. 9, from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. ABC will broadcast the ceremony, which has no host, live.
