Anne Hathaway will announce this year's (10) Academy Awards nominees in Los Angeles on 2 February (10).
The actress, who was nominated last year (09) for her role in Rachel Getting Married, will join Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak for the big reveal next Tuesday.
Sherak and Hathaway will unveil the nominations in 10 of the 24 categories at an early morning news conference at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills.
Inglourious Basterds, Up In The Air, Avatar and The Hurt Locker have emerged as movie favourites ahead of the Oscars, while Jeff Bridges, George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, Jeremy Renner, Christoph Waltz and Mo'Nique ere among the actors and actress frontrunners to land Academy Awards.
The Hurt Locker has been dominating the awards circuit in recent weeks but missed out on the Best Picture Golden Globe to Avatar.
Despite the Best Picture category being expanded to include ten movie this year it looks like a two horse race.
Sandra Bullock has also had a great couple of weeks picking up the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Best Actress awards for The Blind Side.
And it looks like Jeff Bridges' long wait for an Oscar could be over after winning a string of awards for his latest movie Crazy Horse.
The Oscars will be handed out on 7 March (10) at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
