Oscars: Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway Reportedly Presenting Best Picture Again
It's being reported that Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty will once again be presenting the award for Best Picture at this year's Academy Awards.
According to TMZ's sources, the pair will return to present the award, which was famously botched last year.
