Complete List of Oscar Presenters Announced

And it's....odd.

Amy Adams, Kristen Bell, Jessica Biel, Jim Carrey, Glenn Close, Bradley Cooper, Penelope Cruz, Benedict Cumberbatch, Viola Davis, Daniel Day-Lewis, Robert De Niro, Zac Efron, Sally Field, Harrison Ford, Jamie Foxx, Andrew Garfield, Jennifer Garner, Whoopi Goldberg, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anne Hathaway, Goldie Hawn, Chris Hemsworth, Kate Hudson, Samuel L. Jackson, Angelina Jolie, Michael B. Jordan, Anna Kendrick, Jennifer Lawrence, Matthew McConaughey, Ewan McGregor, Bill Murray, Kim Novak, Tyler Perry, Brad Pitt, Sidney Poitier, Gabourey Sidibe, Will Smith, Kevin Spacey, Jason Sudeikis, Channing Tatum, Charlize Theron, John Travolta, Christoph Waltz, Kerry Washington, Emma Watson and Naomi Watts.

Keep in mind I think most of the people are fine.

Jessica Biel??? Do you even remember the last movie she was in?  Jim Carrey and John Travolta haven't been relevant for over a decade and come off as genuinely creepy now.  And even with those, Kate Hudson is probably still the most WTF on here.  I guess she'll be presenting with Goldie. 

I'll overlook most of the Oscar-winners, but Spacey is TV now and hasn't been in any relevant movie for a long time.  Sidibe, also TV now.  Glenn Close, also TV though she does have some high profile movies coming out.  Kerry Washington - fine last year, but has nothing coming out, and again, TV. 

Happy we finally get Emma Watson, but sad no Emma Stone especially with Garfield being there. 

There's also a lack of funny people - only Sudeikis?  But I guess after last year's fail at comedy, maybe this is a blessing. 

Strange that this is Ewan McGregor's first Oscar appearance. 

Surprised there's no Affleck, but maybe he'll be there with Jennifer. 

I know she's old Hollywood and blah blah blah but after Novak's comments about The Artist raping her 2 years ago, I'm surprised she's here. 

Good things: more black presenters and a variety of ages.

Oh, and they also announced last week that Pink will be performing.  Ugh.  Get ready for twirling in the air.
