Lee will join the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Mexican director Guillermo del Toro and American actor John Krasinski in making the announcement.
Lee and del Toro will unveil the nominees for 11 of the 24 Oscar categories, including Live Action Short Film, at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
