The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science has announced the first round of Oscars presenters, following accusations that it pressured actors to avoid presenting at other awards ceremonies before the ceremony later this month.
The Academy also announced on Monday that Gustavo Dudamel and the LA Philharmonic will perform during the In Memoriam segment.
The Oscars will air on 24 February at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
The apparent attempt by the Academy to keep our members from presenting on their own awards show is utterly outrageous and unacceptable.”
