Criticized for its lack of diversity among its acting nominees this year, the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences announced a second slate of Academy Award presenters Monday, which includes African-American actress Kerry Washington and producer Quincy Jones, Indian actress-singer Priyanka Chopra and South Korean actor Byung-hun Lee. Steve Carell, Olivia Munn, Jared Leto, Julianne Moore, Margot Robbie, Jason Segel, Andy Serkis, J.K. Simmons and Reese Witherspoon complete the list. The Academy Awards air on ABC on Feb. 28.
