I figured this would happen. I actually think this was the point of Jennifer Aniston’s “#1 Snubbed Media Tour” a few weeks ago. Of course she wanted to get nominated for an Oscar, but failing that, she wanted to be known as the #1 Snubbed this year so Oscar producers would feel like they had to “make it up” to her by inviting her to present at this year’s Oscars. Meanwhile, the real #1 Snubbed, David Oyelowo, was also asked to present, so I’m not mad about that at least.

No hard feelings, Jen? When the Oscar nominations were announced last month, there was one name noticeably missing from the Best Actress category. After her critically acclaimed performance in Cake, Jennifer Aniston was considered a frontrunner to be nominated.

The Friends alum, 45, however, was unable to score the coveted honor, and many considered it to be one of the biggest snubs of this season. On Tuesday, Feb. 10, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scienes announced that Aniston would still have a part in the show — as a presenter.

Other presenters include Selma’s David Oyelowo, who was also snubbed for his role as Martin Luther King, Jr., making this year’s acting nominees the whitest group in 20 years.

Other presenters include Sienna Miller, Chris Pratt, Chris Rock, Kerry Washington, and John Travolta. At last year’s show, Travolta made headlines and created countless memes when he accidentally introduced Frozen songstress Idina Menzel as “Adele Dazeem.” Fingers crossed he has to pronounce the name “Benedict Cumberbatch” this time.

I can’t believe they asked Travolta again after the Adele Dazeem disaster. Maybe they’re actually hoping for another Travolta mishap because that was one of the most-talked about moments last year. Anyway, I’m not super-jazzed about this presenters list so far. I’m excited that all of last year’s winners are coming back, of course, because I’m dying for some Cate Blanchett and I always love some Lupita. Benedict Cumberbatch is going to present too. But I still feel like they need some bigger names other than… Sienna Miller and Chris Pratt, you know? And how about some fun people too? How about Viola Davis? Or Catherine Deneuve? Or Charlize Theron & Sean Penn? Or Bill Murray? Or Angelina Jolie? Hell, I would happy to see Gwyneth Paltrow as a presenter too.

Do you think that because Aniston is going to present, that means Brangelina won’t be asked to attend or present? Brad is one of the producers on Selma, you know. He would have legitimate reason to be there. And Angelina’s Unbroken got some technical nominations.
