The prestigious Academy Awards, the 90th Oscars will be held in March and on Friday, February 17, producers Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd announced the first line-up of presenters. Many of these have already been recipients of the awards or have been nominated themselves for the awards. The list includes Mahershala Ali, Chadwick Boseman, Viola Davis, Laura Dern, Jennifer Garner, Greta Gerwig, Tiffany Haddish, Tom Holland, Kumail Nanjiani, Margot Robbie, Emma Stone, and Daniela Vega.

"Whether returning to the Oscars stage, or gracing it for the first time, each of these artists bring their own distinguishing and energetic appeal," said De Luca and Todd. Among the names, Mahershala Ali, Emma Stone and Viola Davis have won the award last year. Greta Gerwig, Kumail Nanjiani and  Margot Robbie, are among this year's contenders.

Among the names, Daniela Vega's name is of special importance as Oscar creates history by announcing a first openly transgender presenter. Vega is also nominated for Best Foreign Language Film for her performance in 'A Fantastic Woman' and she has won many hearts.

This is definitely a good sign as Oscars closely embraces the 'T' from LGBT community. The stage actress from Chile is a favourite of the critics. The 90th Oscars will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will take place on 4 March at the Dolby Theatre. For the Indian audiences, it will be aired live on Star Movies and Star Movies Select on 5 March.
