Top 10 Presenters of the Oscars

And the Oscar goes to……! These words have a heart pounding and a career impacting result on the nominees. Oscar presenters have  been the highlight of the Academy Award. Usually their speeches are the ones that entertain the listeners. In order to honor the academy awards we bring to you a memorabilia of the best presenters of the oscars.

And the winners are ! Drumroll please…

10. Ben Stiller for the Best Makeup Award

He made every one laugh with his avatar impersonation.A stellar comedian his performance remains one of the best to date.

9. Robert Mitchum and Sigourney Weaver

This is a classic presenter combo and Mitchum’s performance is pure gold, giving the impression that he doesn’t quite see what the big deal is, or indeed who Sigourney Weaver is. But his “Winds of War” line is a killer, and when Weaver does a quintessential presenter comment — “They are all brilliant; I stand in awe of talent” — she gets a genial comeback from the great man.

8. Will Ferell and Jack Black

When a Will Ferrell or a Jack Black is called out to present an award, you can expect something wacky, ingenious, and very un-Oscar. At the look-how-wild-we-are MTV Movie Awards, or the look-how-hip-we-are Independent Spirits, that kind of zaniness is part of the parade.

7. Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks  always brings a level of grace and class any time he appears onstage as himself. The Academy Awards commenced with the appearance of this two-time Oscar-winning bosom buddy and almost immediately went downhill in terms of grace and class.

6. Russell Brand and Helen Mirren

Russell Brand was there as part of the egregiously obvious grasp for a younger demographic and Helen Mirren was there to get the grayhairs. Surprise: Brand actually was funny to anyone of any age with a sense of humor.

5. Tina Fey and Steve Martin

Fans of subtle, off-the-cuff humor will remember this moment between the 30 Rock costars Tina Fey and Steve Martin. Was it improv? Probably. As he read from the teleprompter, she gazed at him longingly. Then, he turns and descends a stern finger at her, warning, “Don’t fall in love with me.” Fey, queen of the reaction shot, gave a look that said, “I’ll try, but I’m not making any promises.”

4. Kevin Spacey

Another two-time Oscar winner provided one of the other better presenter segments of the night.Kevin came out to sing and then announced that he was George Clooney.

3. Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill

Seeing Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill back in 2008—with their matching Jewfros and thick-frame glasses—was like watching those guys who used to hit your bong back at Vassar hit the big time after they stumbled into a three-picture deal. Before presenting the award for sound editing, they launched into an absurdist disagreement about who gives off more of a Halle Berry vibe, and who gives off more of a Judi Dench vibe. We’ll never know the answer, and that’s exactly the point.

2. James Franco and Anne Hathaway

Without a doubt casting all glances on them as the stunning two some light up the stage with their wit and and good looks. They both shared amazing chemistry and made everyone laugh at their antics.

1. Ricky Gervais

Ricky was invited back as the host of the Oscars his year, in spite of all the flak he got in 2011 for being so harsh on some of Hollywood’s favorite celebs! Well, Ricky brought his A-game, leaving few stars unscathed. And while most jabs were all in good fun, probably the one person who isn’t laughing tonight is Kim Kardarshian.
