Over the last month the Academy has been announcing the list of celebrities that will be presenting at the 2012 Oscars and today they added Oscar nominee Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady) to the list. Each year I try and maintain a running list of the presenters, but don’t like to get started too early so today I finally felt it was time to give you the rundown.
I will also be adding names as they are announced the closer we get to Sunday’s Oscar telecast.
The notable names already among the Oscar presenters include the cast of Bridesmaids as well as Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, considering Cirque du Soleil will be taking over the night’s big performance seeing how there are only two Best Original Song nominees and neither will actually be performed during the telecast.
So far 24 names have been added to the list, which is directly below. As new names are announced I will be sure to add them at the top. See you back here for the Oscars this Sunday where we will be live-blogging and announcing the winners as they happen… Join us won’t you?
