Though Academy bigwigs reported earlier they would keep their list of presenters under wraps until the big night, HitFix has announced that Twilight’s Robert Pattinson, 22, is confirmed as a presenter at this Sunday’s 81st Academy Awards. Undoubtedly they’re hoping his presence will bring huge numbers of Twilight fans to tune in to the broadcast to see the heartthrob, as well as to catch a glimpse of who he’s bringing as his date. That equals higher viewership, if the ploy is successful. Pattinson, who rose to superstardom playing Edward Cullen in Twilight, will reprise his role in the sequel New Moon, which hits theaters November 20th.
