Former winner Charlize Theron to present an Oscar
2004 best actress Oscar winner, South Africa's Charlize Theron, has become the first star to sign up to present a golden statuette at the 2005 ceremony, organisers announced.
Oscars show producer Gil Cates unveiled the first of the constellation of celebrities who will hand over cinema's most prestigious awards at the 77th Annual Academy Awards on February 27.
Theron picked up the top female acting award last year for her role as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the biopic "Monster."
The ice-blond beauty and former ballerina transformed her stunning looks with the aid of prosthetics and a good intake of doughnuts to play the murderous prostitute.
The 29-year-old Theron's Oscar nomination for "Monster" was her first ever and marked the peak of her rapid rise to the top of Hollywood's totem pole.
She will next be seen on the big screen in two films due for release this year, "Aeon Flux," in which she plays a mysterious and amoral secret agent, and in the courtroom drama "Class Action." Nominations for this year's Academy Awards will be announced before dawn on Tuesday in Beverly Hills and the glittering awards ceremony will go ahead in Hollywood about a month later.
