The upcoming 98th Academy Awards has added more star power to its already glamorous lineup. Global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas has been officially announced as one of the presenters at the prestigious Oscars ceremony, joining Hollywood heavyweights Robert Downey Jr., and Anne Hathaway among others. The event is scheduled to take place on March 15, 2026, at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, celebrating the best films released in 2025.
The announcement was made by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which continues to reveal an impressive list of presenters leading up to the ceremony. In addition to Chopra, Downey Jr., and Hathaway, several other prominent stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Mescal, and Will Arnett are also expected to take the stage during the evening.
Thrilled by the honor, Priyanka took to Instagram to share the exciting news with her fans and followers.
For Chopra, this marks another milestone in her global career. Priyanka Chopra previously presented an award at the Oscars in 2016, making her return to the stage after nearly a decade.
