Presentable faces!

As the 89th Academy Awards is round the corner, here we have the second slate of presenters, who are set to take the stage on that big night.

According to the official page of the Oscars, producers Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd recently announced the names on the second list, which include past Oscar winners and nominees— Halle Berry, Jamie Dornan, Chris Evans, Gael García Bernal, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Dakota Johnson, Shirley MacLaine, Kate McKinnon and Hailee Steinfeld.

“These actors are why we love to go to the movies,” said De Luca and Todd, adding, “From blockbusters to art house films, these artists deliver every time and we’re thrilled to welcome them to the 89th Oscars stage.” The first group of presenters was revealed on February 1, which has last year’s Best actor and actress Leonardo DiCaprio and Brie Larson, along with supporting actor and actress award recipients Mark Rylance and Alicia Vikander, respectively.

The Oscars 2017, to be hosted by Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, will air live on February 26 from Dolby Theatre in Hollywood

Timberlake plans to ‘sneak’ alcohol

Singer Justin Timberlake is planning to “sneak” alcohol into the Oscars ceremony later this month.

The 36-year-old has received his first Academy Awards nomination for his song Can’t stop the feeling from the film Trolls.

Usually, the bar at the Dolby Theatre — the ceremony’s venue — is situated outside the main space and there is no service within the auditorium. So, he plans to bring along his own flask.

Discussing his plans for the ceremony at the Academy Awards luncheon in Beverly Hills, Timberlake said, “We’ll try to sneak a flask in.” Timberlake previously said he felt “humbled” to be nominated in the Best Original Song category.

“I’m really humbled by the whole thing. I think most of all; I was excited the whole year that people responded to the song,” he said.
