“The Peanut Butter Falcon” actor Zack Gottsagen made history on Feb. 9, 2020, becoming the first person with Down syndrome to present an Oscar.
Gottsagen, 35, was elected to present the award for Best Live Action Short Film and did so beside his costar and friend, Shia LaBeouf. After reading the now-iconic introduction, “And the Oscar goes to...” Gottsagen presented the coveted golden trophy to the filmmakers behind “The Neighbor’s Window.”
