Oscars Turn the Corner: Rob Pattinson Confirmed as a Presenter
What's next?
Gregory Ellwood at HitFix is reporting that the Twilight star Robert Pattinson will be presenting at the 2009 Oscar awards this Sunday, February 22.
The fact this news "leaked" online is not at all surprising as news of a new Judd Apatow short, exclusive new footage from such Warner Bros. films as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Terminator Salvation and now an appearance by tween girl sensation Robert Pattinson is sure to help boost the number of eyes watching the show. Of course the Academy still needs to figure out a last second way of reaching out to the scorned fanboy community that refuses to watch since The Dark Knight wasn't nominated for a Best Picture.
This year's Oscars is going to be an interesting watch as all of this experimentation could certainly bring in new viewers, but I am sure it will tend to drag for many of these Oscar-virgin eyes as awards are handed out to films many of them have never heard of as they wait breathless for the appearance of Edward Cullen or for a peek at :15 seconds of Harry Potter.
I'll be here live-blogging the event so be sure to join us this coming Sunday.

Thank God I watch the Oscars for the awards, cause seeing 15 seconds of Harry Potter and Robert Pattinson will just be a cherry on the perfect evening…
Now they are stooping to low levels, I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed with the telecast this year.
That certainly will boost ratings! I'm only watching to see Rob! ;)
How long are we going to see Robert and whomever he decides to walk him down the red carpet or be his opposite presenter. Please God…not Camilla Belle! I will have to TiVo the show because I will not be home.
Stooping to low levels? Perhaps. This is a new producer who is in charge of the Oscars. I am disappointed that Peter Gabriel pulled out of his performance at the Oscars because the producers wanted to cut his stage time. Now that is absurd and ridiculous!
We will see if there will be other "Twilight" stars who will be there at the Oscars.
fresh air, i like old stars and paparazi star (laughs), but definitely performing from robert pattison is a happy-happy news… i hope he will bring annelyse or kristen, they were lovely couple, pleaseeeeeeeee…….and kristen stewart if she is invited, please…pick robert, it's a business anyway right, so, please, make your fans happy little bit……….
are they really that desperate for ratings???
ianswer your question.yes.they really desperate for ratings.why robert pattinson why not daniel radcliffe and ellen page.i hate academy members.
How exciting!!! And for those who think it's about ratings, it just may be, but I believe it's also because Rob is a new amazing talent and will be impressing us in future films to come.
What a flow of emails I have received since I first commented yesterday! Ratings…yes Rob could pull my "rating" anytime, too! ehehehe. That was funny. The convention is this weekend up in SF…no wonder Rob and Kristen were NOT going to make an appearance. They probably got a "head's up" of possibly being picked as presenters at the Oscars because "Twilight" was not nominated for any category. Who's Annelyse ? He is a big boy! He can go stag! ;)
I am concerned about his two up and coming movies: "Little and Ashes" and "The Summer House", also "How To Be". All three movies are going to be in limited release meaning they may not be in the city near you! "How To Be" was in San Jose, CA and in Sydney, Aus. Oh, let me hop on a plane and fly there! No one has a lot of $$ to fly to see a movie! The production companies MUST have the movies of Robert Pattinson in wide viewing! Sorry, I do not mean to be so angry before knowing for sure if his movies will be available where I live and all the rest of his fans' cities!
Will "they" show a clip of "Little Ashes" or "The Summer House"?
We can only tune-in and wait.
