Sean Penn, Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz have all been named presenters for the upcoming Oscars. The screen stars are just three of the many celebrities who will hand out the statues at next month’s ceremony.

Last year, Sean won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in Milk, while Kate gave a teary acceptance speech after being awarded the Best Actress gong for 2008’s The Reader.

Penelope - who took home the Best Supporting Actress honor for Vicky Cristina Barcelona in 2009 - is up for another accolade this year. The 35-year-old Spanish beauty has been nominated for her supporting role in musical movie Nine.

Heath Ledger won the other major acting award at last year’s show. He was posthumously awarded the Best Supporting Actor prize for his performance in The Dark Knight.

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards - hosted by Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin - will be held at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles on March 7.
