Scarlett Johansson and Russell Brand were announced as presenters at the 83rd Academy Awards to be telecast Sunday at 5 p.m. on ABC from the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood and Highland.

Johansson, who was last seen in ‘Iron Man 2’ is currently filming ‘We Bought a Zoo.’ British comic Brand (and singer Katy Perry’s other half), has two films coming out in April -- the animated ‘Hop’ and a remake of ‘Arthur.’
