83rd Academy Awards Celebrity Presenters List Keeps Adding Stars
Scarlett Johansson and Russell Brown Join List of Oscar Announcers
Russell Brand ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Get Him to the Greek") and Scarlett Johansson ("The Horse Whisperer" and "Iron Man 2") are the latest additions (announced February 21) to the team of trophy presenters for the 83rd Oscars.
Who will present the gold statuettes for the 83rd Academy Awards on February 27th?
What Hollywood headliners will take to the stage as Oscars' presenters on Sunday evening in the Kodak Theatre?
Actress Anne Hathaway ("The Devil Wears Prada"and"The Princess Diaries") and actor James Franco (nominated for Oscar's Best Actor this year for his performance in "127 Hours") will share co-hosting duties for the 83rd Academy Awards.
A star-studded selection of Hollywood celebrities will back up the duo, tearing open the sealed envelopes and reading off the names of Oscar's winners.
Intriguingly, this year's selection of Oscar presenters focuses on veteran performers, rather than the up-and-coming crop of youngsters featured last year. (Remember Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart from the 2010 event?)
Here's the roster to-date of Academy Awards presenters for 2011.
Who will present the gold statuettes for the 83rd Academy Awards on February 27th?

Still more of Oscar's presenters for February 27, 2011, are Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Kidman (three-time Oscar nominee, including "Rabbit Hole," and 202 Oscar winner for "The Hours"), Jude Law (two-time Oscar nominee), Marisa Tomei (three-time Oscar nomination and 1992 Oscar winner for "My Cousin Vinny"), Oprah Winfrey (one-time Oscar nominee and executive producer winner for "Precious") and Reese Witherspoon (2005 Oscar-winner for "Walk the Line").
