Oscars 2015: Star presenters revealed

February 16, 2015

With less than a week to go until the 2015 Oscars, attention has turned to the guest presenters who will hand out the awards at the prestigious ceremony on Sunday. The Academy has gathered a suitably A-List line-up of stars including Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Channing Tatum for presenting duties at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.

The growing list of presenters has been revealed daily in the lead up to the awards, and some of the latest names to be added include Liam Neeson, Idris Elba, Eddie Murphy and The Fault in Our Stars actor Ansel Elgort who took to Twitter to express his excitement at the honour.

"Feeling so lucky today. What did I do to deserve this? Last year I was watching the oscars on TV this year I'll be on stage presenting… Wow," he wrote.

Gwyneth Paltrow also revealed that she would be presenting at the 78th annual awards on Twitter.

The presenters for the 2015 Oscars have been confirmed

"Dear @TheAcademy I humbly accept your offer to present at this year's #Oscars #WhereMySpanxat", she shared with her two million followers.

Other presenters confirmed to be taking part are Jason Bateman, Chris Evans, Jennifer Lopez and Fifty Shades of Grey actress Dakota Johnson. Chloe Grace Moretz will take to the stage just weeks after celebrating her 18th birthday, while Margot Robbie will return to present an award one year after making her Oscars debut.

The Help actress Viola Davis said she was "thrilled" to be presenting at the Oscars, and Scandal star Kerry Washington revealed that she was "very excited" to be handing out one of the iconic Oscars statuettes.

Jennifer Aniston will also take to the Oscars stage to present an award, despite missing out on a Best Actress nomination for her performance in Cake. The 46-year-old isn't the only snubbed star helping to hand out awards on the night. Selma actor David Oyelowo, who like Jennifer, was expected to receive an Oscar nomination – will also be taking part in the highly anticipated ceremony.

John Travolta will return to the Oscars twelve months after his infamous blunder when he mispronounced Idina Menzel's name in front of 43 million people. The actor evidently hasn't been put off by the mishap, and is confirmed to present again along with other stars Jessica Chastain, Ben Affleck, Chris Pine and Sienna Miller.

New mothers Scarlett Johansson and Zoe Saldana will be taking a night off from babysitting duties for a glamorous return to the spotlight, while Hunger Games actor Josh Hutcherson and Octavia Spencer are also confirmed to present.

Rounding off the list are Miles Teller, Naomi Watts, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kevin Hart, Shirley Maclaine and Chris Pratt.

The stars will join new host Neil Patrick Harris to hand out the highly coveted awards on Sunday 22 February.
