Several Canadians will have the honour of presenting at the prestigious 88th annual Oscars this month, including Ryan Gosling and 9-year-old Jacob Tremblay.
Hollywood heavyweights like Tina Fey, Whoopi Goldberg, and Sam Smith will also be presenting.
Gosling, who is known for his work in Drive, Crazy Stupid Love, and Gangster Squad, is working on a number of big titles for 2016, including an untitled Blade Runner project (by Denis Villeneuve), as well as The Nice Guys opposite Russell Crowe. He’s from London, Ontario.
Meanwhile, up-and-comer Jacob Tremblay, who has been getting a lot of Tinseltown buzz, appears in this year’s Room with co-star Brie Larson.
“Each of these artists brings a wonderfully distinctive element to the Oscars stage,” said Oscars producers David Hill and Reginald Hudlin in a press release. “Together they represent the many thrilling ways stories can be shared about the human experience, and we’re honored they will be part of the celebration.”
The 2015 Oscars will take place on February 28th.
