stylish actor will be seen on stage again presenting
one of the much-coveted trophies to a lucky winner.

is the star of Traffic that is one of the hottest
contenders for the Best Film and the Best Director
awards.

already grabbed the Best Supporting Actor Award
for The Usual Suspects in 1995. Last year he was
also on the honours list for the Best Actor award

Planner has also grabbed the number one charts.
 *Steve

be his eighth Oscar appearance and his first as

for an Oscar gold. Billy Crystal, a favourite
Oscar emcee in recent years, will be too busy
this year wrapping up his new film, America’s
Sweethearts to make time for the Academy Awards.
