The program has hired Scottish actor David Tennant to anchor it. Tennant succeeds Richard E. Grant and Rebel Wilson, who served as presenters in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Tennant informed Variety prior to the ceremony that he would not make any remarks about Taylor Swift after observing how Jo Koy collapsed on stage at the Golden Globes. “I believe that the fact that I am not a comedian provides me with some cover. I do not particularly expect any of those skills from me. It’s as simple as me keeping everything together.
There are thirteen nominations for Christopher Nolan’s epic biographical thriller Oppenheimer, similar to other ceremonies. Martin Scorsese and Jonathan Glazer’s Zone of Interest each have nine nominations, with Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things leading the pack with eleven.
Performance categories include Sandra Hüller, Cillian Murphy, Fantasia Barrino, Danielle Brooks, Jacob Elordi (Saltburn), Vivian Oparah (Rye Lane), and Teo Yoo (Past Lives).
David Beckham, Cate Blanchett, and Dua Lipa will join Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone for the ceremony. Variety reports that each of the three international celebrities will present an award.
