The Academy has started announcing presenters and performers for the 2013 Oscars and as I have done for the past few years, this is where you will find a continually updating list of all of the names announced leading up to Oscar Sunday, February 24.
In addition to the Oscar show presenters and performers, it’s already been announced Star Trek Into Darkness co-stars Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana will host the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Scientific and Technical Awards on Saturday, February 9. They will present nine awards to 25 individual recipients during the evening.
Seth MacFarlane will be hosting the Oscars, as was already previously announced.
