Traditionally, the previous year’s acting winners to return to present corresponding awards next season, so, for example, the best actor winner will typically hand out the award for best actress.
There’s a little wrench in that plan this year because last year’s best actor, Will Smith, has been suspended from the ceremony for 10 years after he infamously slapped presenter Chris Rock during last year's show.
