This morning, Academy Award producers named two more stars set to present at this Sunday’s Oscars ceremony.
Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman will reveal one of the night’s winners. “Between the two of them, Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman have created more iconic characters than any other pair of actors in the world,” said producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron in a press release. “Their participation in this year’s Oscars completes a list of presenters and performers that truly represents that great breadth and depth of acting talent in film today.”
