Organizers have announced some of those who will be doling out trophies at the Feb. 24 ceremony, and the list includes George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Steve Carell, Amy Adams, James McAvoy, Colin Farrell, Anne Hathaway, Katherine Heigl, Seth Rogen, Jessica Alba and Martin Scorsese.
All four of last year's winners in the acting categories will also present: Alan Arkin and Jennifer Hudson, who won supporting acting honours, and Helen Mirren and Forest Whitaker, who won best actress and actor.
Nominees at this year's ceremony are among the presenters as well, including Cate Blanchett, who is up for both supporting and best actress trophies, and George Clooney, who is nominated for best actor.
The 80th Academy Awards will be hosted by comedian Jon Stewart and takes place at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
