While some were surprised, others expected the announcement from the Academy’s official Instagram account. Bad Bunny will be one of the presenters at the 2024 Oscars ceremony.
The Puerto Rican artist will join the second group of stars responsible for announcing nominees and presenting awards. For now, it’s unclear which category Bad Bunny will present.
He leads the list alongside big Hollywood stars, including Chris Hemsworth, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Michael Keaton, Octavia Spencer, Jennifer Lawrence, among others.
Bad Bunny’s participation divides opinions
Despite Bad Bunny being hailed as one of the most successful singers nowadays and having many followers who celebrate everything he does, on this occasion, many comments on social media have been unfavorable towards his participation in the 2024 Oscars.
“What does Bad Bunny doing here?”; “I feel sorry for the award presented by Bad Bunny”; “What was Bad Bunny’s contribution to cinema this year?”; “You know everything is wrong when Bad Bunny is an Oscar host”; “They have first-class actors and they bring that guy,” were some of the criticisms against the Academy found in the comments on the Instagram announcement.
However, some supporters argue that Bad Bunny’s fame and success justify his inclusion as a presenter.
While the controversy continues, Bad Bunny continues with important appearances on American television, as not long ago he served as the main host on one of the most important programs in the neighboring northern country, Saturday Night Live.
Don’t miss the 2024 Oscars ceremony next Sunday, March 10th, starting at 6 p.m. Bad Bunny is sure to make an appearance on the red carpet!
