Angela Bassett, Regina King Join Oscars Starry Presenting Cast

By LINDSEY BAHR AP Film Writer
The Oscars are aiming to be more like a movie than a television show and enlisting A-list stars like Halle Berry, Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt and Reese Witherspoon to help. They’ll be joined at the April 25 broadcast by the likes of Regina King, Angela Bassett, Joaquin Phoenix, Rita Moreno, Laura Dern, Zendaya, Marlee Matlin and last year’s best director winner Bong Joon Ho, the show’s producers said Monday.  After delaying two months due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Oscars are forging ahead with an in-person show at Los Angeles’ Union Station. The 93rd Oscars will be broadcast live on ABC on April 25 at 8 p.m. Eastern.
