Who's Holding the Oscar?



Surely you've seen these posters advertising the 78th Annual Academy Awards coming up this Sunday, March 5th. What hasn't been revealed are the identities of the two "vintage" celebrities holding the Oscar statuettes in the photos.

Well, I thought immediately that the man in the black tux was Cary Grant. It just looked like his tanned, manicured hands. And the French cuffs were a giveaway. Here's a more complete photo to compare (check out the cuffs):



I'm still not sure who the female in the white gloves is. At first I thought Audrey Hepburn, but a subsequent Google image search shows a different dress on Audrey when she won. Second choice Grace Kelly is close; she wore the white dress and gloves, but no necklace.

Anybody want to guess who she is?

I still think the white-gloved hands are that of a presenter, just given how they are holding the Oscar. She's got Hepburn's figure -- quite thin. Maybe she presented the Oscar to someone else?

According to the Oscars website, this year's posters feature "vintage photos of Oscar winners from the past."
