Worst presenters list with the worst movie list in the history of the academy…

Needless to say, people online do not seem impressed by the names featured on this year’s list.
What does Dwayne Johnson’s inclusion in the list mean?
The Oscars ceremony features a mix of the previous year’s award winners and the famous personalities of the movie industry. Johnson would surely use the global platform to promote his upcoming Christmas movie. He will be seen alongside famous actors actor JK Simmons and Chris Evans in the Amazon Prime movie Red One later this year.
The list also includes last year’s winners such as Riz Ahmed, Ariana DeBose, and Troy Dostur. However, one of the customs of the iconic night would have to be changed. The Best actor winner from last year presents the Best Actress award. But due to the infamous ‘Slapgate’ incident last year, Will Smith is barred from attending.

Coming back to the WWE legend, he is already experiencing a tighter schedule in 2023. The Football league XFL has kept him occupied in the latter half of February. His role in the upcoming movie means he hardly has any time to spare.
The addition of Dwayne Johnson to the Oscars presenter’s list has divided opinions. However, it will be huge for him to get this opportunity. The reactions to the overall list show the web world’s disdain for the stars featured in it.
Nevertheless, The Brahma Bull has become an integral part of the movie industry; this latest recognition goes a long way in displaying that.
