Producers Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd announced Lin-Manuel Miranda will be among those presenting during the broadcast. Miranda was nominated for an Oscar in 2017 for his original song “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana. Of course, he’s best known in the theatre world for In The Heights and Hamilton, but will appear on the silver screen in the upcoming Mary Poppins Returns.
