The first round of Oscars 2019 presenters has just been revealed, and the list contains some flashy names like James Bond actor Daniel Craig, Avengers’ star Chris Evans, and singer/actress Jennifer Lopez.

They will be joined by a mix of up-and-coming and established stars including Awkwafina, Tina Fey, Whoopi Goldberg, Brie Larson, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Amandla Stenberg, Charlize Theron, Tessa Thompson, and Constance Wu. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this is just the beginning, and more presenters for 91st Academy Awards will be announced in the coming weeks.

“The Oscar nominees have generated tremendous worldwide attention through their captivating stories, achievements, and performances,” said Oscar 2019 producers Donna Gigliotti and Glenn Weiss. “We want to give the public an opportunity to once again experience the moments that have moved us all. It is a celebration of our universal love of movies.”

The 91st Academy Awards ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on February 24, 2019. After Kevin Hart dropped out as host, this year’s Oscars will most likely be without a host, which didn’t happen since 1989. Instead, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is reportedly looking into making the cast of Marvel’s Avengers as the main stars of the show.

It looks like Sister Act 3 is finally coming our way. After years of speculation and development issues, the third entry in the Sister Act film series is reportedly in the works with Regina Hicks, an executive producer on HBO’s comedy Insecure, and Karin Gist, showrunner of Fox’s musical drama Star, being attached as writers. According to Entertainment Weekly, the movie will probably be presented on Disney’s upcoming streaming service, Disney+.

While further details remain unknown, it is highly likely that the star of the first two Sister Act movies, Whoopi Goldberg, won’t be part of Sister Act 3. Disney reportedly wants to do a soft reboot with a whole new cast opposed to filming a proper sequel.

“It is our understanding that this is not a continuation and Whoopi is not involved,” a representative for Goldberg told the EW.

The first Sister Act movie was released in 1992, starring Whoopi Goldberg as Deloris Van Cartier, a nightclub lounge singer who joins a convent as part of witness protection program. It became one of the most commercially successful comedy movies of the decade, earning more than $230 million while receiving positive reviews from the critics. After the success of the first movie, a sequel, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, was released the following year.

Since then, Goldberg expressed interest in making Sister Act 3, wanting to direct the project as well, but those plans never materialized.

Whoopi Goldberg really wants to make another Sister Act movie!

Looks like she might be donning her habit again for her third installment of Sister Act reprising one of her most iconic role as Sister Deloris, the lounge singer-turned-nun.

According to Entertainment Tonight, the 62-year-old actress is still very much interested in making Sister Act 3. The original film hit our screens in 1992 and was a huge success, garnering a cult following. It was then followed by a sequel a year later. 

Whoopi Goldberg and Tyler Perry both appeared on Andy Cohen’s talk show Watch What Happens Live this week to promote Perry’s Nobody’s Fool starring Goldberg and Tiffany Haddish. Perry, it seems, is already thinking of a joint Goldberg — Haddish sequel,  “The two of them in Sister Act, that should happen. Let’s make it happen,” he insisted.

Cohen persisted, suggesting that Perry take a more active role in the potential sequel. “Can’t you buy the rights to Sister Act?” he asked the producer. “That’s exactly what I was thinking. I was sitting here thinking, Tiffany Haddish, Whoopi in Sister Act,” Perry said. “We’ll go get ‘em!”

Jordan Peele took home the Oscar for his film, Get Out, making him the first black writer to win the award.

He told the reporters in a press conference backstage that Whoopi Goldberg’s winning speech back in 1991 gave him the inspiration to do his best to achieve his filmmaking dreams.

“I almost didn’t do it,” he shared, “because I didn’t believe that there was a place for me. Whoopi Goldberg and her acceptance speech for best-supporting actress award for Ghost was a huge inspiration.”

“When I got nominated,” he continued, “one of the first things I did was reach out and call her, and thank her for telling young people who maybe doubted themselves if they can do it.”

Peele also took to Twitter on Monday morning to explain how Goldberg encouraged him to pursue his dreams.

“When @WhoopiGoldberg won her Oscar for ‘Ghost’ she practically reached through my TV screen and told young me to follow my dreams,” the 39-year old writer tweeted alongside a clip showing his reaction when he won at Sunday’s ceremony. “I did, and it worked. Thanks Whoopi.”

The Key & Peele star previously shared the effect of Goldberg’s speech during an interview in Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversations podcast released on Feb. 27.

“She got on stage and said something to the effect of, ‘For everybody out there who thinks you can’t do it or doubts yourself, or I don’t know if she said it or if this is what I got from it; looks like me, but feels like there are walls and ceilings, you can do it,’” Peele told Winfrey. “I internalized that and when the news came that I was nominated, I immediately thought of Whoopi and that this is now about all the people out there who this is sending that same message too.”

His movie Get Out have picked up several awards throughout the season including Best Picture and Best Director at Independent Spirit Awards last week.

“I’m so proud to be a part of a time, the beginning of a movement where I feel like the best films in every genre are being brought to me by my fellow black directors. It’s very special,” Peele said.

“I hope that this does the same and inspires more people to use their voices,” he added.
