Bridges, Bullock Lead First Batch of Oscar Presenters

Oscar producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer have announced the first batch of presenters for the 83rd Academy Awards, and as usual they include last year's Best Actor and Actress winners, Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock.

Jeff BridgesIn a sign that things may be slightly different this year, though, the AMPAS press release also includes three past winners who'll present on the show: Halle Berry, Marisa Tomei and Oprah Winfrey.

Traditionally, the four acting winners – which in this case would also include supporting winners Christoph Waltz and Mo'Nique are the first to be announced.

Bridges and Bullock won at the 82nd Oscar show for "Crazy Heart" and "The Blind Side," respectively. Berry was a 2001 winner for "Monsters Ball," while Tomei was a surprise winner for "My Cousin Vinny" in 1992 and Winfrey in Tk for "The Color Purple."

The Oscar show will take place on February 27 at the Kodak Theater at the Hollywood & Highland Center.
