Conan O'Brien is the host for the 2025 Oscars, marking the comedian and talk show host's first time hosting the show.
"We polled America. I spent a lot of my own money polling Americans and saying, 'Would you like to see Conan O'Brien sing and dance?' Shocking response," O'Brien told ABC News in January. "People don't want it, which means they'll probably try and do it. I like to be an irritant."
O'Brien joked that his hosting the Oscars was a result of being in an era of his life where he says "yes" a lot.
"I'm just saying yes to things that I wouldn't have done before. I'm a black belt in karate now. I'm a licensed neurosurgeon. I mean, there are all these things I'm doing now that I didn't think I would ever do before," he said.
Nick Offerman will serve as the announcer for this year's ceremony.
As has become tradition at the 2025 Oscars, last year's acting winners will be back this year as presenters. This means Cillian Murphy, Emma Stone, Robert Downey Jr. and Da'Vine Joy Randolph will be returning to the Oscars stage.
Other stars who will be presenting are, in alphabetical order: Joe Alwyn, Ana de Armas, Halle Berry, Sterling K. Brown, Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Lily-Rose Depp, Elle Fanning, Whoopi Goldberg, Selena Gomez, Goldie Hawn, Scarlett Johansson, John Lithgow, Connie Nielsen, Amy Poehler, June Squibb, Ben Stiller, Oprah Winfrey and Bowen Yang.
According to a letter sent to academy members on Jan. 22, this year's show will forgo the usual live performances of the best original song nominees as it has in years past.
Instead, the academy said the presentation will be focused on the songwriters and "celebrate their artistry through personal reflections from the teams who bring these songs to life" to "uncover the stories and inspiration behind this year's nominees."
That said, the academy also promised "powerful musical moments that connect film's rich history to its bold and inspiring future," though no additional details of what that might look like were provided.
The 2025 Oscars will take place Sunday, March 2, airing live on ABC and streaming live on Hulu beginning at 7 p.m. ET.
Disney is the parent company of Hulu, ABC News and "Good Morning America."
