Los Angeles Mar 8: Global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to present an award at the upcoming 98th Academy Awards, further strengthening her presence on the international entertainment stage.

The awards ceremony will be held on March 15, 2026, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Due to the time difference, viewers in India will be able to watch the event in the early hours of March 16, with the broadcast beginning at 4.30 am IST.

Indian audiences can watch the live telecast of the ceremony, including the red carpet arrivals and the main awards event, on the streaming platform JioHotstar and on television through Star Movies.

Priyanka’s appearance at the Oscars follows her recent presence at the Golden Globe Awards earlier this year, where she presented an award alongside Lisa, who recently made her acting debut in the television series The White Lotus. Their appearance together generated significant buzz online.

At the Oscars this year, Priyanka will join several international stars presenting awards, including Robert Downey Jr., Anne Hathaway and Paul Mescal.

Other presenters announced for the ceremony include Adrien Brody, Mikey Madison, Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldaña, many of whom were among last year’s award winners and are expected to present trophies in acting categories.

The event will also feature appearances by well-known Hollywood stars such as Chris Evans, Javier Bardem, Demi Moore and Kumail Nanjiani.

The ceremony will be hosted by comedian and television personality Conan O'Brien, who is expected to bring his trademark humour and wit to the stage during the star-studded celebration of global cinema.
