The Academy announced today that previous Best Actress winners Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon will all present at the 2013 Oscars.
Telecast producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron made the announcement earlier today, although it’s unclear what they’ll be presenting. As the previous year’s Best Actor and Best Actress winners Meryl Streep and Jean Dujardin are also set to present, it would seem that Berry, Bullock, Kidman and Witherspoon will likely not present for Best Actress.
Plans for the Academy Awards have been coming in on a daily basis. Last, it was announced that the cast of Chicago will present at the awards. It was also announced that The Avengers cast members would present an award together. Last Tuesday we learned that Meryl Streep, Jean Dujardin, Octavia Spencer and Christopher Plummer will be presenting. Other stars set to appear who’ve been announced in recent weeks include Mark Wahlberg and his teddy bear Ted, and performances from Barbra Streisand, Adele and Norah Jones.
Berry previously won the award for Monster’s Ball (2001), Bullock won for The Blind Side (2009), Kidman won for The Hours (2002), and Witherspoon won for Walk the Line (2005).
The 2013 Academy Awards will air Sunday, February 24 live from Hollywood on ABC.
