All presentations and awards, in the order that they were shown. For a list of all nominees and winners, see the IMDb Academy Awards 2007 page. For a detailed assessment check out Filmsite.org's page on the ceremony.
Note: Meryl Streep was listed as a presenter as well, but never appeared on stage. However, the scripted exchange between Hathaway and Blunt during Best Costume Design involved Streep while sitting in the audience. Maybe her involvement was counted as presenting as well.
Missing: movie presentations, dance performances by Pilobolus, DeGeneres vacuum-cleaning.
