Jennifer Lawrence and Jodie Foster will announce the lead actress prize winner tonight, while Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren will present lead actor. Traditionally, the previous year’s acting winners present the same categories for the opposite gender at the Oscars.

The move to get women for the lead acting presentations comes in the wake of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements that have been in the spotlight this awards season, calling attention to sexual misbehaviour, gender inequality and power dynamics, among other issues.
