If the promos are any indication, we could be in for an entertaining Oscars ceremony with Seth MacFarlane as the show's host.  This year's Academy Awards will feature a tribute to James Bond, and a new promo has MacFarlane mocking Bond's famous and nonsensical drink order.

Hit the jump to check out the promo.  In other Oscars news, a recent press release confirms an earlier story that Mark Wahlberg and Ted will co-present as this year's ceremony.  "I’m excited to present an Oscar with Mark Wahlberg," says Ted. "I’m spending the next month learning to pronounce 'Quvenzhané.'"  The Ted spotlight will be even brighter with Norah Jones singing the Oscar-nominated song from the film, "Everybody Needs a Best Friend."

Here's the press release regarding Wahlberg and Ted presenting as the Oscars:

MARK WAHLBERG AND TED TO PRESENT AT OSCARS®

            Mark Wahlberg and his teddy bear co-star, “Ted,” will be presenters on the Oscar® show, telecast producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron announced today.

“We are happy to make it possible for Mark and Ted to make their debut appearance on the Oscar stage,” said Zadan and Meron. “And we won’t deny that Ted used his pull with our host to get himself the booking.”

Wahlberg and Ted starred in the hit summer comedy “Ted,” which is now the highest-grossing R-rated original comedy of all time.

“I’m excited to present an Oscar with Mark Wahlberg,” said Ted. “I’m spending the next month learning to pronounce ‘Quvenzhané.’“

Wahlberg has twice been nominated for Academy Awards®, in 2006 for his supporting role in “The Departed” and in 2010 as a producer of the Best Picture nominee, “The Fighter.”

Wahlberg and Ted join a stellar list of previously announced Oscar performers, including Adele, Norah Jones and Barbra Streisand. Oscars for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Oscar Sunday, February 24, at the Dolby Theatre™ at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and will be hosted by Seth MacFarlane live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide.
