The new mum will interview nominees including Javier Bardem, Daniel Day-Lewis and Keira Knightley as they arrive at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden on February 10.

Organisers have also confirmed some of the big names who'll be stepping up to present trophies at the televised do. They include Jessica Biel, Orlando Bloom and Kevin Spacey.

Meanwhile in LA, where organisers insist the February 24 Academy Awards ceremony will go ahead, a model of the stage where Tinseltown's finest will collect the coveted trophies has been unveiled.

This year's dramatic look, which is based on the engravings of 18th-century Italian printmaker Giovanni Battista Piranesi, features five huge translucent pillars containing modern representations of the Oscar statuette.
