BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Two-time Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank is to be a presenter at the 83rd Academy Awards show in Los Angeles, the telecast's producers said.

Swank took home the Oscar in 1999 for her lead performance in "Boys Don't Cry" and earned her second Academy Award in 2004 for her leading role in "Million Dollar Baby."

Swank is currently producing "Something Borrowed" and will be seen next in "New Year's Eve." Her other film credits include "The Affair of the Necklace," "The Black Dahlia," "Freedom Writers," "P.S. I Love You," "Amelia" and "Conviction."

Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2010 will be presented Sunday at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and televised live on the ABC Television Network.
