'Hannah Montana' star to present at the Oscars

Miley Cyrus has been named as one of the presenters at the Oscars.

The 17-year-old actress - best known as the star of the 'Hannah Montana' franchise - has joined other teen favourites Zac Efron, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner on the list of guest hosts at the forthcoming Academy Awards.

Presenters who had previously confirmed for the ceremony include past Oscar winners Kate Winslet, Sean Penn and Penelope Cruz.

Last year, Sean won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in 'Milk', while Kate gave a teary acceptance speech after being awarded the Best Actress gong for 2008's 'The Reader'.
