AFTER WILL Packer and Shayla Cowan took over as producers of the Academy Awards ceremony, the duo decided they wanted to provide a "wide-ranging" and "far-reaching" event.

The first all-Black Oscars team is pulling in some presenters who are not particularly involved in show business.

Oscars 2022: Who is presenting at the Academy Awards ceremony?

"You need something other than just a chance to see stars," said Will Packer via The Hollywood Reporter.

"We have to make a show that is entertaining and appeals to a broad swath of the viewing public."

He continued: "My approach is to bring everybody together around the idea of a love for cinema.

"And so one of the things you'll see is that not everyone involved with the show may be a movie person."
