Oscar 2007 Presenters
by Andre Soares
AMPAS has announced the — supposedly complete — roster of presenters at the upcoming Oscar ceremony, which will be held next Sunday, February 25, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center.
The updated list consists of: Ben Affleck, Gael Garcia Bernal, Jessica Biel, Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, Emily Blunt, Abigail Breslin, Steve Carell, George Clooney, Daniel Craig, Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruz, Catherine Deneuve, Cameron Diaz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey, Jr., Kirsten Dunst, Will Ferrell, Jodie Foster, Al Gore, Eva Green, Tom Hanks, Anne Hathaway, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Hugh Jackman, Diane Keaton, Nicole Kidman, Greg Kinnear, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Lopez, James McAvoy, Tobey Maguire, Helen Mirren, Jack Nicholson, Clive Owen, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jerry Seinfeld, Jaden Christopher Syre Smith, Meryl Streep, John Travolta, Ken Watanabe, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, Kate Winslet, and Reese Witherspoon.
As per the above list, no one who began working in films prior to 1970 will be giving out any awards. The veteran-est of the presenters is Diane Keaton, whose first film, Lovers and Other Strangers, came out in 1970.
Addendum: With the addition of Helen Mirren, Jack Nicholson, and Catherine Deneuve to the list of presenters, there will be three pre-1970 film veterans handing out awards or introducing film clips next Sunday. Mirren (though mostly a stage and TV actress) started in films in 1967; Nicholson in 1958; and Deneuve, now the veteran-est, in 1957.
