The Academy rarely announces presenters before the New Year which implies producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer have been able to secure participants for the show much earlier than usual. 

Anne Hathaway and James Franco will host the 83rd Academy Awards which will be presented on Sunday, February 27, 2011, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood and televised live on ABC at 8 PM EST, 5 PM PST.
