At the Academy Awards, nothing beats the tension-filled seconds when the presenter cracks open that envelope and announces the winner’s name. In that moment, they hold the fate of Hollywood in their hands for a few seconds. It is a blend of star power, tradition, and national interest that makes these presenters shine. And with names like America Ferrera, Ryan Gosling, and Emily Blunt, this year’s presenters tick all the boxes. Now, with another big name joining the lineup, the ceremony has gotten even more star-studded.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences rolled out another wave of presenters for the highly anticipated 96th Oscars airing this Sunday. Among the A-listers, they have roped in none other than Grammy-winning songstress Ariana Grande. Rubbing shoulders with previously announced presenters, Bad Bunny and Zendaya, Grande’s presence promises to strike a chord with music aficionados tuning in. But there is more to her appearance at the Oscars that has got everyone talking.

Grande will be returning to the awards circuit at the 96th Academy Awards after a three-year break. And that is not all. The Academy is also bringing back some of its traditions. According to The Hollywood Reporter, they are dusting off the beloved Field of Dreams format from 15 years ago, where five past winners will introduce the current nominees in all four acting categories. Oscar enthusiasts were long-awaiting this nostalgic gesture.

Now, bringing Ariana Grande on board as a presenter has given fans even more motivation to tune in to this historic event.

Fans are thrilled as Ariana Grande steps onto the Oscars presenter list

Ariana Grande has been a bit of a ghost when it comes to award ceremonies lately. And fans have spun all sorts of theories to explain her absence, ranging from her involvement in Wicked filming to her dedication to her upcoming music projects, or perhaps simply avoiding events where she was not guaranteed a win. Whatever the case, Ariana Grande is making a comeback to the award ceremonies, and fans could not be happier to have her back in the spotlight.

They could hardly contain their excitement to see the chart-topping artists make a grand return after three long years.

The lineup of presenters earned rave reviews from fans, who were thrilled to see some of Hollywood’s heavy hitters taking the stage.

While Ariana Grande ends her hiatus as the Oscars’ presenter, Ryan Gosling will not only present the award but also perform ‘I’m Just Ken’ from Barbie alongside the song’s co-writer, Mark Ronson. For Hollywood buffs and music lovers alike, the 96th Academy Awards promises to be an event worth tuning in for!
