A Global Lineup for the 2026 Oscars
The diverse lineup reflects the increasingly international nature of the Academy Awards. Brazilian actor Wagner Moura and Chilean-born star Pedro Pascal join Spanish actor Javier Bardem and Dominican-American actress Zoe Saldaña among the international and Latino talent participating in the ceremony.
Pascal, who has become one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars through projects such as The Last of Us and The Mandalorian, continues to represent a growing presence of Latino performers at the Oscars. Meanwhile, Moura — best known globally for Narcos and acclaimed performances in Brazilian cinema — adds another Latin American voice to the evening’s presenters.
The presence of these actors underscores the Academy’s ongoing effort to reflect the global nature of modern filmmaking, both on screen and on stage.
