Your Oscar presenters for this weekend

oscar-presenters-2011.jpgJavier Bardem, Helen Mirren and Matthew McConaughey have been newly added to the list of Oscar presenters at Sunday's ceremony. Mo’Nique and Christoph Waltz, winners last year and thus invited to give out statuettes this year, are among the so-far unconfirmed. But the semi-final list, according to IndieWire's compilation, includes Annette Bening, Halle Berry, Jeff Bridges, Cate Blanchett, Oprah Winfrey, Hugh Jackman, Reese Witherspoon and Hilary Swank.

Warm-ups: Here's a short video of co-hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway supposedly working on a Grease-inspired number, posted by Franco's account.
