The Academy Awards are reviving an iconic tradition at the upcoming Oscars.
The Academy Awards are reviving an iconic tradition at this year's Oscars, with multiple former winners teaming up to present the major acting categories.
As The Hollywood Reporter first reported, five past winners in each acting category will introduce this year's nominees -- calling back the 2009 ceremony which featured some iconic team-ups, like Sophia Loren, Shirley MacLaine, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman and Halle Berry coming together on stage to award Kate Winslet her Best Actress Oscar.
Here's a look at all the confirmed presenters who are also former winners -- and which category they will likely present.
BEST ACTOR
Ben Kingsley
Sir Ben Kingsley won Best Actor in 1983 for his titular role in Gandhi, and was also nominated in the same category in 2004 for House of Sand and Fog, though he lost out to Sean Penn for Mystic River. He's also been twice nominated for Best Supporting Actor, once in 1992 for Bugsy, and again in 2002 for Sexy Beast.

Whitaker won Best Actor in 2007 for his role as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland.
