Chris, Dan hagerman.

Chris hogan, stuver

and our guy, Tony and Phil.

- Chris jargo.

- Thank you so much.

Our next presenters boasts an acting career

that spans seven decades,

but he is perhaps best known

for the "sound of music"

and his timeless portrayal,

Head of the Von trapp family singers.

The family Von trapp.

They're gone!

That's that joke. Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome a legend,

Oscar winning actor Christopher plummer.

New song.

Pick on someone your own size.

As I know only too well,

perseverance pays.

And these richly talented

ladies nominated tonight

are none of them overnight successes.

No, sir,

they are all seasoned perennials who have

been acting since they were teenagers

and I strongly suspect that

they will continue to do so

until they are even older than me.

And in this year of

remarkableably brave performances,

I am somewhat dismayed

to have to announce a winner.

But I look forward to the honor of

working with any of these ladies

in my next 30 films.

Here are the nominees for best performance

by an actress in a supporting role.

Amy Adams, "the master. "

What we do we have to drop it.

The only way to defend

ourselves is to attack.

If we don't do that, we will lose

every battle that we are engaged in.

We will never

dominate our environment

the way we should unless we attack!

Sally field, "Lincoln. "

- Put you in the mad house.

- Then do it!

Do it. Don't you threaten you,

you do it this time, lock me away.

You'll have to, I swear.

If Robert is killed.

"Anne hathaway, miserables. "

I never dreamed my life would be

from this hell I'm living

You'll never know what it seems

Helen hunt, "the sessions. "

You discussed his fantasies

which were mostly masochistic,

again, the idea of being punished.

He's never seen female genitalia before

and seems quite frightened

at the thought of it.

Jacki Weaver, "silver linings playbook. "

- Pat, this whole thing was a mistake.

- I'm sorry, mom.

I am out on a limb with you

with the court right now.

And the Oscar goes to

miss Anne hathaway.

This is the first academy award

and second nomination for Anne hathaway

she's previously nominated for her leading

role in "Rachel is getting married"

it came true.

Ah, thank you so much

to the academy for this

and for nominating me with Helen hunt,

jacki Weaver, Amy Adams

and Sally field.

I look up to you all so much

and it's been such an honor.

Thank you.

There are so many people whose

generosity and support

are with me right now.

I must thank Hugh Jackman.

The cast, the crew, especially

Simon Hayes and the sand wizards,

congratulations on tonight, you guys

the creative team behind "les miserables",

Cameron mackintosh,

Debra hayward and from universal,

Ron meyer, Donna Langley,

thank you guys for your faith

and thank you for this opportunity.

I have to thank my team

led by the lion hearted Susan,

Josh lieberman, Nick Sullivan,

mahad nakil.

Please say I say everyone.

Just to be safe,

Steven, Jason Sloan and

special contributions

by Frank and Carrie Wagner.

I want to thank my friends especially the

ones cheering from Crosby street tonight.

My family who I'm so

blessed to be a part of.

My husband.

By far and away the

greatest moment of my life

was the one when you walked into it.

I love you so much.

And thank you for this.

Here's hoping that someday in the not

too distant future the

misfortunes of fantine

will only be found in stories

and not in real life.

Coming up, a special performance

of "skyfall" by Adele.

Plus, the Oscar for film

editing right after this.

Welcome back.

Academy president hawk koch

grew up on the set of his father's s

and went on to become an

incredible producer on his own.

Please welcome our academy

a man so respected,

it doesn't matter his name

sounds like a Russian guy sneezing,

hawk koch.

Thank you, Seth!

And thank you.

The academy is about recognizing the

great achievements of the present,

honoring our past,

and ushering in the future of movies.

And the academy's future is very exciting.

It's a few years away, but, when it's done,

I want to invite everyone

around the world to

come to Los Angeles to visit

the new academy museum of motion pictures.

You'll be able to explore

how movies are made,

learn about our history,

journey to the cutting edge of film

technology, and even take a walk

on the red carpet.

It will be the first of its kind.

And speaking of firsts,

earlier this year,

we held a contest for college students

asking them to make a

video about how they

would contribute to the future of movies.

The winners are helping us

hand out oscars onstage tonight

and here they are from duluth,

Minnesota, depaul university, Abe Diaz.

From harare, Zimbabwe

and ucla, go, bruins,

tatenda mbudzi.

From Brooklyn, New York

attending suny potsdam, charon brabham.

From mesa, Arizona and

Columbia college, Chicago, aj young.

From seoul, South Korea

and emerson college, hearin ko.

And from ut-Austin, a marine corps veteran

who served in Afghanistan, Jennifer brofer.

Congratulations!

And I'll see you at

the new academy museum!

That's a good idea. A bunch of coeds

and drunk producers at an open bar.

That's great.

Our next presenter played a

raging alcoholic in "28 days"

which is kind of a weird coincidence

because I'm going to be playing

one in about an hour 45 minutes.

And I might be playing one right now.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome Oscar winner Sandra bullock

editors take raw mass and sculpt it down

to is essential kernel of truth.

What a particularly sadistic butcher

might do a rump roast or a hamhock,

an editor must do to film.

We actors love our editors,

they protect us, they

on occasion lie for us.

They hypothetically might

hold on a shot of my watering eyes,

put a lump in the audience's

throat

provoking that deep, deep emotion,

telling anyone that it may

Have possibly been just

something stuck to

my contact irritating my eyeball.

But, again, that's just

a hypothetical example I was using.

Editors make so many of us look way better

than we ever have the right to

and here are the

nominees for achievement in film editing.

"Argo,"

"Life of pi," Tim squyres,

"Lincoln," Michael kahn,

"silver linings playbook,"

Jay Cassidy and crispin struthers.

"Zero dark thirty,"

Dylan tichenor and William goldenberg.

And the Oscar goes to

William goldenberg, "argo. "

Including this nomination this year

for film editing for "zero dark thirty,"

this is the fourth academy award

nomination for William goldenberg

and his first Oscar win.

Thank you, guys. Thank you all so much.

Thank you members of the academy

for honoring "argo" with this this award.

I really, really appreciate it.

I want to thank my great crew,

Brett, Joe and Paula,

I want to thank Warner brothers

and I want to thank our great producers

George clooney and grant heslov
