The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Thursday that best actor winners Adrien Brody and Mikey Madison and supporting actor winners Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldaña will present trophies at the 98th annual Academy Awards.

The actors are the first presenters announced for the March 15 ceremony, which will be hosted by Conan O’Brien. The show will air live on ABC beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Pacific.
