ABC just added five more names to the list of presenters for the Sunday, February 28 Academy Awards: Oscar winners Morgan Freeman and John Legend, plus J.J. Abrams, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Henry Cavill. It's no surprise to see them lead with Freeman and Legend, and not just because they are past winners. Oscar producers are going out of their way to not only add more non-white presenters in reaction to #OscarsSoWhite, but to make sure we know they're doing it.
Anyway, this list of Oscar presenters may be updated with still more names before next Sunday's show, but here's the current lineup:
J.J. Abrams
Patricia Arquette
Abraham Attah
Cate Blanchett
Emily Blunt
Louis C.K.
Steve Carell
Henry Cavill
Priyanka Chopra
Sacha Baron Cohen
Common
Russell Crowe
Benicio del Toro
Chris Evans
Tina Fey
Morgan Freeman
Jennifer Garner
Whoopi Goldberg
Ryan Gosling
Louis Gossett, Jr.
Kevin Hart
Quincy Jones
Michael B.

As we know from Betty White's appearances in rom-coms and Snickers commercials, it's funny to see old people do and say things we don't expect from the elderly. Combine this with the box office success of The Bucket List and you've got a bit of the likely motivation behind Grudge Match, a boxing film in the works from Warner Bros. The Hollywood Reporter sees the project, about retired prizefighters called out for one final match, as being comparable to Space Cowboys, which did a similar thing with retired astronauts. The script was written by Tim Kelleher, an In Living Color vet whose only film writing credit is First Kid, which starred Sinbad as a boxer-turned-Secret Service agent. The film's producers include some guys familiar with working with old dudes: Gran Torino's Bill Gerber and Grumpy Old Men writer Mark Steven Johnson.
