Whoopi Goldberg, Ryan Gosling, Kevin Hart, Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Charlize Theron, Jacob Tremblay, The Weeknd and Pharrell Williams will be presenters or performers at the 88th Oscar ceremony, producers David Hill and Reginald Hudlin have announced.

The announcement, however, didn’t specify whether Gaga, Smith and The Weeknd will perform their Oscar-nominated songs from The Hunting Ground, Spectre and Fifty Shades of Grey, respectively.

<p>Each of these artists bring a wonderfully distinctive element to the Oscars stage. 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.</p>
