Tweeners rejoice. My 10 year-old and her school chums will be beside themselves with joy that Twilight’s Robert Pattinson will be a confirmed presenter at the 81st Academy Awards. The story comes as an exclusive on Hitfix (though no source is named):
Still unclear is whether Pattinson’s “Twilight” co-star Kristen Stewart will also appear on the telecast and what award he will specifically present. And, obviously, speculation will now run rampant on who Pattinson’s date down the red carpet will be.

ok..lets have miley again…jonas brothers and the whole cast of HSM or better yet invite all the cast of any DISNEY show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
let miley introduce BP…ZAC and VANNESSA presents BD and JONAS BROTHERS introduce BP nominee MILK!!!!!!!!!!
…..
…………….
…………………..
Damn it.
Hope it will not be a promo show for ABC shows and Disney movies…
Who is this guy? Who cares? They should have real, established stars…
Sertan, there is no bigger star right now than Robert Pattinson, seriously. Well, there are bigger stars but he’s red hot. It’s a pretty good get, I’d say.
Okay. So this is the direction they’re going in then. I guess they’ll get their ratings.
But I thought they were keeping the presenters a secret?
ABC/Disney always uses some of it’s stars to populate the Oscars. Robert Pattinson, to my knowledge, has no affiliation with Disney at this time (beyond this appearance as a presenter – which I assume is true).
This is not a good sign
does that mean fellow Disney alum Hathaway will win the OsCar?
( I kid, I kid).
I think they are using Robert Madison for ratings. His gay fans will be tuning in, don’t know about the tween girls though. Do 13 year old girls watch the oscars?
Oh well! Oscar 2009 is heading for the slums…literally
Get his last name right, at least, Sasha. Pay attention to details.
That’s why we keep you on anal retentive retainer, Bobby C.
Thanks for being so cool.
It’s no great scandal. It’s no better or worse than O.J. Simpson, Margaux Hemingway and Linda Blair presenting in 1976. (That same year, Audrey Hepburn, Gore Vidal and Charlton Heston also presented.)
Pattinson looks a lot like Jessica Lange in Tootsie in that shot. He shouldn’t stand in front of signage that simulates a hoop earring effect.
Oh sweet baby Jesus.
And apparently Twilight is going to be featured “prominently”. Just because it made money doesn’t make it good.
You’re welcome Ryan. That’s my nickname– Bobby Cool!
OH GOD WHY
is he trying to look sexy in that pic?
see this is why he doesnt have a girlfriend!
re: #16
“speculation will now run rampant on who Pattinson’s date down the red carpet will be.”
Cheyenne Jackson?
Wouldn’t surprise me.
Yep, it’s confirmed. He’s presenting a montage: Oscar’s salute to vampires. And agents.
As far as ratings are concerned – maybe they should have let the public know who the presenters are? I have a terrible feeling that the show will be unbearable.
Well, there goes the “We won’t tell who presenters are.”-policy. ANything to get the tweeners to watch, I guess.
Who’da thought that Pattinson is the first Harry Potter actor at the Oscars?
OMG !!!!!
SO AWESOME !!!!!!
HE’S SO CUTE !!!!
I Hope Kristen Stewart , Dakota Fanning and Miley also present .
But , best Picture should be given out by Tom Hanks or Johnny Depp .
Alec Baldwin / Tina Fey / Jerry Seinfeld should kidnap Hugh Jackman
And take over the ceremony .
Tom Hanks , Dustin Hoffman should present best picture as Forrest Gump and Rain Man .
Forrest : And the winner is ….
Rain MAn : Yeah …
I Don’t Know
Uh huh .
mmm..well…
is just that only teens are gonna know who this guy is…
i just wanna see, Salma Hayek, Megan Fox, Anne Hathaway as a presenters, that’s my request.
ahaha, Neel Mehta! (#18)
thanks for the delayed reaction laugh.
please i want robert downey jr for a presenter!!!!
[...] this is the apparent pay-off for all the cloak and dagger mystery surrounding this year’s Oscar presenters? So that, as we [...]
what fault ben barnes,daniel radcliffe and gael garcia bernal.all they successful then pattinson.last year critics like daniel radcliffe and gael garcia bernal’ act.but no.academy overlook them again and again.other hand robert pattinson’ first serious!role and critics to kid his act.but now he presents oscar.its very very injustice for quailty movies and serious young actors.bravo academy mambers.you opinion magazine actors then serious actors.
how can watch fans oscar night?

fans: what what? they are old and aren’t sexy.why my rob could’t nom.aww what a mistake.academy members must be blind.they can’t saw my robert’ beauty.
noms: Slumdog Millionaire,Benjamin Button,Milk,Frost/Nixon,The Reader
fans:but twilight is love story.they call romeo and juliet.our movie better then this movies.i can’t belive them.
other hand movie lovers watch
robert and kristen are present award.
-we saw this people in magazines.are they actors?but why we don’t remember them.we don’t saw them in reader,dark knight,benjamin button,slumdog,milk,let the right one.
Well I suppose the tech-winners no longer will be the ugliest people on stage then.
are you sure robert pattinson is biggest star right now.because some people said miley cyrus is biggest star last year and she presented oscar.but what changed ratings?nothing.
people don’t watch for robert to oscar night.academy make big mistake this year too.
we always hate when they invite some models,singers and popular stars.they change ome rules but why they don’t change intive unserious people.
meanwhile don’t forget.dark knight and harry potter fans biggest fenomen in the world.and now they very very angry with academy.we will see their angry how change ratings?
Who is this guy?
LMAO, they so after ratings as if Pattinson`s fanbase is into old-fashioned bore that are awards ceremonies. Whatever,lol. At least they are aware that the line-up of nominated movies and actors will not bring in the numbers since the outcry to not watch the ceremony has been deafening this year and rightly so.
They better get Joaquin Phoenix on the satge if they want to enliven the presentations. Any potentially drunk/stoned/all of it star will do. Christian Bale too.
You know who he looks like? Ben Stiller from Zoolander. Let’s suck in those cheeks and look at people under his eyes. This has nothing to do with Oscar, can Selma Hayek please leave 30 Rock? She is the unfunniest guest on the show. Jon Hamm on the other hand, is actually a good comedic actor.
i`d rather see Pattinson as a presenter than the business as usual line up of Kidman (now only good to play Jacko before their noses fall off) , Zellwegger, J-Lo, _______(insert other obligatory fading star in need of presnter spot exposure) or one-show media whores like Longoria.
Hey Academy,
If you wanted ratings, you should have nominated The Dark Knight for Best Picture, you dumb fucks.
bambi
How dare you talk down to a respectable actress like Kidman. And Zellweger too?
They may be botoxed-infused head twitching robots now but do not cheapen their career achievements by elevating A pop tart like Robert Madison above them. That is just outrageous.
As for J-lo, she was good in Selena and a couple of other movies I can’t remember so don’t you even dare try to ridicule her. How many women in Hollywood can boast of successfully transitioning from go go dancer to entrepreneur? how many? yeah, I thought so.
As for Longaria. She is SEXY in desperate housewives so SHUT THE F*CK UP
I am thrilled about this. I don’t think he’s going to do the best job (he always sort of seems like a deer in headlights) but I’m excited that he’s getting to take part. I’ll definitely be tuning in.
I work for Frank About Women, a marketing to women consultancy, and we have created a website to capture twitter chatter about all things Oscar. There will be tons of people tweeting about the goings-on and we’ll have polls and fun interactive ways to contribute. I’d love to hear what my fellow readers are thinking as they watch it all go down live. If you’re interested in joining the conversation and having a little fun go to http://www.redcarpet09.com. Hope to see you then!
@Fool of a took
The people that vote and the people that do the show are completely different.
LMAO, Afrika! With defence like “botoxed-infused head twitching robots” who needs attacks? That was awesome.
As for Longoria, I`m happy that her attempts to switch TV for big screen are tanking miserably. She`s good at playing herself (another attention whore) so, hopefully, once DH gets cancelled she`ll be gracing Surreal Life and Dancing with Has-beens in worst case scenario, or, in best case, end up jobless if those awful refugee camps for 15 minute-famers get cancelled.
I want Michelle Pfeiffer to give out an Oscar.
lol bambi
but you forget that Eva Whore-goria’s husband is Tony Parker. She’s set for life after DH gets canceled. Speaking of their marriage, I wonder if they signed a pre-nup.
Well the fangirls will be happy.
But I think that’s desperate.
he’s actually a good actor, by far the best thing about Twilight…perhaps the only good thing. I am excited to see him in Little Ashes.
That photo is hilarious. “Oooooh, barracuda.”
As a ploy to attract the tweeners, this would have worked better if we were in the run-up to Twilight, rather than the let-down. Fannish madness tends to fade once the movie has opened. I bet Pattinson hasn’t even been groped in weeks.
Bitch, Pleeeease
My husband, Javier Bardem, is 100 x sexier than Pattinson
T.
why all the fuss about this guy? Frankly I’m glad for it. My 15 year old has begun to lose interest in Oscar night despite my continuing passion for the affair, and she smiled when she heard he’d be on.
If they give my generation Hugh Jackman, what’s the deal with Pattinson for the under 20 set? Besides, think of all the lameass pretty boy/pretty girl presenters who have been on the Oscars in years past. Not everyone is a Hoffman, deNiro, Kidman quality star. At least Pattinson’s been in movies. Some of the presenters are the flavor of the day and their connection to movies is very tenuous.
@Fool of a took
The people that vote and the people that do the show are completely different.
Yeah, well, whatever. They’ve got one thing in common. They’re all a bunch of dumb fucks. Nothing changes that.
He will present the visual effects award or costume design.
I heard a rumor he is being considered for the lead in the remake of ‘Logan’s Run’. Just a rumor though.
Pattinson isn`t a bad actor and he may prove himself. Lets not forget that Heath Ledger was marketed as Next Mel Gibson, and was called a talentless hack for his work in A Knight`s tale, Four Feathers and some other crappy movies, before he showed promise in Monster Ball and than sealed the deal as one of greatest talents with BBM and TDK. I`m not saying Pattinson will be in this league but he`s already better than Orlando Bloom, so teeny-bopper worshippers may have a point this time around.
Hopefully, Zach Efron will present too. <3
Afrika, is it me or Lon-whore-ia`s boobs got bigger and her face tighter these days? I guess divorce is next. Then will know if there was a prenup.
The rumor is Efron is in a big musical production number with Hudgens, the two from Mamma Mia! and Jackman and Beyonce. I also read a rumor that he may be presenting Best Song.
So, is Pattinson going to show up at the Oscars looking like Helena Bonham Carter, as the story’s photo suggests?
