As Hollywood sits on the edge of its seat to find out this year’s Oscar nominees, the excitement is heightened by the news that Anne Hathaway will be reading them out.

The Devil Wears Prada actress is set to glam-up the nominations, which will be announced on February 2nd.

The hot A-lister will be joined by the not-so-glamorous Academy president, Tom Sherak.

But the bad news for Hathaway is that she’ll have to get up extremely early that day to read the nominations at 5:30am in Los Angeles (1:30pm in the UK).

Nominees will have just over a month after the announcement to plan their outfits, as the actual Academy Awards ceremony takes place on March 7 at the Kodak Theatre in LA.

Anne Hathaway, Neil Patrick Harris and Rodrigo Santoro are negotiating to lend their voices to “Rio,” the next collaboration between Blue Sky Studios, Fox Animation and director Carlos Saldanha, all of whom are riding the $882 million global tsunami of “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.”

“Rio,” which follows the adventures of a nerdy macaw who lights out from his small-town Minnesota cage for the exotic Summer Olympic city of Rio de Janeiro, is scheduled for an April 8, 2011, release. Like “Dinosaurs,” it will be filmed in 3D digital animation.

Chris Jenkins (”Surf’s Up”) and Bruce Anderson (”Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who!”) are producing.

Hathaway and Harris have done animation before. Hathaway voiced the lead role of Red in the Weinstein Co. release “Hoodwinked!” in 2005, and Harris voiced a character in Sony Pictures Animation’s “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”

Fox would not confirm casting. • Continue Reading?

12. Anne Hathaway

Another starlet so perfect that she could have been created in a lab, Hathaway is blessed with eyes so big and wide and pretty that she could take the lead in a live-action version of Bambi. In fact, with her pixie-like face and stunning figure, she also seems to have been modeled on another Disney character: Mary Poppins. After all, she’s practically perfect in almost every way.

Most alluring as… We’re going to ignore the two movies in which she has appeared sans bra, because we’re classy, and focus instead on Get Smart, to which she brought much-needed sex appeal as Agent 47.

Interests include… Juggling. No, seriously. She knows how to juggle. So if the career goes tits-up, she can always take herself off to the circus.

Actress Anne Hathaway, accompanied by a harpist, sang “Ave Maria” at the Funeral Mass of her paternal grandmother, Jacqueline Ann Gouin, on Wednesday at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in the city’s Andorra section.

Her grandmother, who died Aug. 21 at age 86, lived at Cathedral Village.

Hathaway’s father, Jerry, is one of five children. The actress’ mother, Kate McCauley, also grew up in the area and went to Mount St. Joseph Academy and acted in the troupe at La Salle. Anne Hathaway was born in New York and raised in North Jersey, and still pops up in Cape May. Last summer, out with friends, she sang karaoke at Martini Beach.
