Renee Zellweger & Joaquin Phoenix Return to the Oscars to Present The Final Awards at Oscars 2021

Renee Zellweger and Joaquin Phoenix, who won the top acting awards at last year’s Oscars, returned for the 2021 Academy Awards to bestow the awards on this year’s winners.

The Oscar-winning stars were the final two presenters of the evening during the event held at Union Station on Sunday night (April 25) in Los Angeles.

Renee was up fist and presented the Best Actress award to Frances McDormand for Nomadland. This marked her third acting win and her fourth overall Oscar win after winning Best Picture just minutes earlier.

Joaquin was the final presenter of the night and presented the Best Actor award to Anthony Hopkins for The Father. He wasn’t present at the awards show, so Joaquin accepted the award on his behalf.

FYI: Renee is wearing a custom Giorgio Armani Privé peony pink strapless silk gown with draped satin lapels at the neckline and a dramatic front slit, accented by a delicate crystal-embroidered trim. She completed her look with Jimmy Choo shoes and Cartier jewelry.
