Film lovers tired of tedious Zoom-based Hollywood awards
shows can rejoice — producers of the glitzy in-person Oscars this month are
bringing in the big guns, with Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, and Reese Witherspoon
among the lineup unveiled Monday.

The April 25 ceremony, to be primarily held at Union Station
in downtown Los Angeles, comes as California accelerates its reopening after a
year of Covid-19 closures, buoyed by a vast vaccination rollout, and will
follow a glamorous “awards-show-as-a-movie” theme, the Academy said.
In a statement announcing the Oscars’ “truly stellar cast of
stars”, the producers warned: “There’s so much wattage here, sunglasses may be
required.”
Along with Ford and Witherspoon, presenters will include
last year’s big acting winners Joaquin Phoenix, Renee Zellweger, Pitt, and
Laura Dern — along with South Korea’s Bong Joon-ho, who won best director and
best picture with “Parasite.”
Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, and Bryan Cranston will also
appear, among others, marking the first time Tinseltown’s biggest names will
gather on the red carpet since Covid-19’s arrival prompted the nation’s first
statewide stay-at-home order in March 2020.
