Laura Dern, Don Cheadle, Kumail Nanjiani will also be on hand to hand out awards.
The 36th Film Independent Spirit Awards may be breaking from tradition this year -- with the ceremony taking place on the Thursday before the Oscars instead of that Saturday -- but one thing remains the same: The Spirit Awards is still tapping Hollywood's biggest stars to hand out awards for indie filmmaking.
Cate Blanchett, Maria Bakalova, Kumail Nanjiani, Laura Dern, Leslie Odom Jr., Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Dominique Fishback and Don Cheadle will serve as presenters at this year's Spirit Awards, ET can exclusively announce.
In addition to presenting, Odom Jr. will be honored during the ceremony: One Night in Miami director Regina King and her cast, along with the film's casting director, are this year's recipients of the Robert Altman Award.
Dern, meanwhile, is a returning winner as part of Marriage Story's ensemble, which received the Robert Altman Award in 2020. Dern also received a tribute from The Gay Men's Choir, which was the highlight of last year's show, hands down:
This final batch of presenters join previously announced Daveed Diggs, Julia Garner, Kathryn Hahn, Annie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Lulu Wang and Renée Zellweger.
