Three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep will likely get to induct Daniel Day-Lewis into that triple-Oscar club on Feb. 24 at the Dolby Theatre, while "The Sound of Music" star Christopher Plummer will probably hand the Best Supporting Actress award to a new screen-musical star, Anne Hathaway.
Those are two conclusions to be drawn from the Academy's Tuesday announcement that last year's acting winners, Streep, Plummer, Jean Dujardin and Octavia Spencer, will return to serve as presenters on this year's Oscar telecast.
Streep won her third Oscar for "The Iron Lady," while Dujardin, Spencer and Plummer won their first for "The Artist," "The Help" and "Beginners," respectively.
