Pedro Almodóvar (above, with Penelope Cruz), Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, Demi Moore, and Zoe Saldana will be presenters at the 2010 Academy Awards ceremony.
Almodóvar, whose Broken Embraces was snubbed by Spain — their committee opted to submit Fernando Trueba's The Dancer and the Thief instead — will probably be presenting the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, which may go to Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon. Unless, of course, the relatively few and generally older voters in that category decide to pick A Prophet (less likely; too tough) or The Secret in Their Eyes.
Almodóvar made his first appearance in years at the Spanish Academy Awards — the Goyas — earlier this year. He was welcomed by a long standing ovation.
