Anne Hathaway chosen to announce Oscar nominations

(AP) — Actress Anne Hathaway will be among the first to learn who's up for an Oscar this year.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences says the 27-year-old Hathaway will join motion picture academy president Tom Sherak to announce Academy Award nominees on Feb. 2.

Sherak and Hathaway will reveal nominations in 10 of the 24 categories at an early-morning news conference at the academy's Beverly Hills headquarters.

Hathaway was nominated for an Oscar last year for her leading role in "Rachel Getting Married." Her other credits include "The Devil Wears Prada" and "The Princess Diaries."
