and 2002, making her the first woman to solo host and the first African American woman to host the prestigious event.

The announcement of Goldberg’s return as a presenter was made by the Academy, highlighting a lineup

that includes other notable figures such as Halle Berry, Penélope Cruz, and Scarlett Johansson. This ensemble of presenters adds significant star power to the event, which will be hosted by Conan O’Brien for the first time.

Goldberg’s return is particularly poignant given her reflections on her previous experiences with the Oscars.
