Halle Berry will make a cameo appearance in an Oscar-inspired episode of The Simpsons during the show’s forthcoming 22nd season.

The actress will play herself in a storyline which will see her present an Academy Award to both Bart Simpson and his dad Homer, Simpsons producer Al Jean told reporters during the Comic Con Convention in San Diego last weekend.

“It’s a bit of a satire of the different Oscar acceptances where two people clearly race to the stage to get there first, and Homer and Bart are fighting to be the one that accepts.”

The episode is scheduled to air in early 2011.

Halle joins a star-studded roster of celebs who will storm the small-screen with Simpsonscameos next season — including Mad Men star Jon Hamm and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
