LOS ANGELES — The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Thursday that last year’s Oscar acting winners will present awards at the 98th annual Academy Awards.

Adrien Brody and Mikey Madison, winners of the best actor category, and Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldaña, winners in supporting actor categories, are confirmed as presenters for the March 15 ceremony, which will be hosted by Conan O’Brien and broadcast live on ABC at 7 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Pacific.

Brody won his second best actor Oscar for “The Brutalist,” while Madison, Culkin, and Saldaña were first-time winners last year. The Oscars traditionally have previous winners present awards in the acting categories.

This year’s leading nominee is “Sinners,” which received 16 nominations, breaking the record for most nominations by a single film. Other nominees for best actress include Jessie Buckley, Rose Byrne, Renate Reinsve, Emma Stone, and Kate Hudson. Best actor nominees are Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Michael B. Jordan, and Wagner Moura.

Supporting actor nominees include Jacob Elordi, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Stellan Skarsgård, and Delroy Lindo. Supporting actress nominees are Elle Fanning, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Amy Madigan, Wunmi Mosaku, and Teyana Taylor.
