The "Hannah Montana" star, Harrison Ford, Vanessa Williams and Ellen Page will be profiled on "The Barbara Walters Special."

With slightly less than two weeks until the Academy Awards, BARBARA WALTERS today announced the four celebs who will be the subject of in-depth interviews in her 27th annual Oscar® edition of "The Barbara Walters Special."

Taking this year's honors are Academy Award nominee ELLEN PAGE, superstar HARRISON FORD, Emmy Award nominee VANESSA WILLIAMS and teen sensation MILEY CYRUS.

The teen star comments on the success of "Hannah Montana," saying: "Life is a little different than the show because I don't have the alter ego that I can escape to anymore. I think the basis of the show is pretty much life. When I'm at home, it's my friends, it's my family."

As for Ford, he talks about returning to the role of Indiana Jones 19 years after the last film, telling Walters: "I was delighted to have the opportunity to do it again and revisit a character that has been so good to me."

Page comments on her Oscar nomination, saying, "I feel weird being nominated with people I have so much respect for and people that I've been blessed to meet during the last few months ... I don't know that it's really sunken in yet."

And Williams and Walters discuss the effect "Ugly Betty" has had on the former beauty queen's career: "I love playing my role because it is so tasty. I mean, the writers do a spectacular job making every moment that I have memorable."

The special will air on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. ET and following the awards broadcast on the West Coast.
