Jennifer Aniston will reportedly take centrestage at the Oscar ceremony, where her ex-husband Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Angelina Jolie will also be present as they have been nominated in the the best actor and actress category.

"Jen will own the night. Brad and Angie might be nominated, but Los Angeles is Jen's town," said a friend in a press statement.

Pitt is nominated in the best actor category for his performance in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", while Jolie is nominated for the best actress for "Changeling".

And Aniston is invited to present an award at the gala event that will take place Feb 22.

"She was a good girl and pulled back during the Golden Globes even though she had the hottest movie out 'Marley and Me'. And at the time of the Oscars, the movie is likely to be at the top of the box office," added the friend.

The former "Friends" star had recently slammed Jolie by calling her "uncool" in an interview with Vogue.

Jennifer's boyfriend John Mayer has also been persuading her to take on Pitt and Jolie at Hollywood's hottest night of the year.

John reportedly said: "You've got to go. Why do you hide in this town? You have every reason to be there.

By presenting at the Oscars, you'll tell the world: 'I don't care about Brad and Angie. I belong here, too.'"
