Zhang Ziyi
at Oscar last year |
BEIJING, Mar. 6 -- Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi will join Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson as celebrity Oscar presenters at the 78th Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre.
Zhang Ziyi is among seven big name presenters announced by organizers last
Friday. The other newly announced presenters are Oscar winner Jack Nicholson,
Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, "Munich" star Eric Bana, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben
Stiller, and John Travolta.
It is the second time Zhang Ziyi has been invited to hand out statuettes at
the Academy Awards. She is also the first Chinese to be invited to be a
presenter twice.
Sunday's ceremony will cap-off a frenzied annual awards season dominated by
the gay cowboy movie "Brokeback Mountain," the Oscar favorite, nominated for
eight awards, including best picture, best director for Ang Lee and best actor
for Heath Ledger.
