A total of 56 celebrities will be presenting the awards to the winners, including Bollywood’s own Priyanka Chopra.
Last year, she presented an award with actor Tom Hiddleston, and was applauded for her fashion sense as she opted for a red chiffon dress and twirled around while making her debut appearance. Although she’s the star of Quantico, she hasn’t been nominated in any category this year.
Other presenters include Riz Ahmed, Alec Baldwin, Anna Faris, Sarah Paulson, Shailene Woodley, and 50 others.
