The 2025 Oscars just got an extra ounce of star power.
As the 97th annual Academy Awards approaches, executive producer and showrunner Raj Kapoor and executive producer Katy Mullan announced a new batch of presenters on Tuesday, Feb. 11.
Halle Berry is the first to join the already-impressive list of presenters that includes 2024 Oscar winners Robert Downey Jr., Cillian Murphy, DaâVine Joy Randolph and Emma Stone.
Berry, 58, previously won Best Actress for her role in 2001's Monster's Ball at the 74th Academy Awards. Clinching the trophy cemented her in history as she became the first Black performer to win the Academy Award for Best Actress.

2025 Oscar Nominations List: Emilia PĂŠrez Leads with 13, Plus Wicked, Demi Moore's The Substance and More
Berry previously presented at the 2023 Oscars, when she and Jessica Chastain presented Michelle Yeoh with the Best Actress statuette for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
That year's presentation was a breakaway from protocol as the award is usually announced by the previous year's Best Actor winner. She and Chastain took over the honor after Will Smith, who had won for his role in King Richard, resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and was banned from attending its events for 10 years, after smacking Chris Rock at the 94th Oscars.
Second to join the list is Whoopi Goldberg. The multi-hyphenate has two Oscar nominations to her name. At the 58th Academy Awards, Goldberg, 69, was nominated for Best Actress for The Color Purple. At the 63rd Academy Awards, she won Best Supporting Actress for Ghost.

Third on the list of presenters is PenĂŠlope Cruz, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the 81st Academy Awards for her role in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.Â
Cruz, 50, received four Oscar nominations, the most recent being for Best Actress at the 94th Academy Awards for her role in Parallel Mothers. She has also previously served as a presenter.
