Default Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to host Oscars
It's months away, but the Oscars are already Rocking our world.
In the latest effort to return Hollywood's biggest night to must-see-TV status, the powers that be have tapped Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin to cohost the 82nd Annual Academy Awards next year.
The ceremony takes place March 7, 2010, at Hollywood's Kodak Theater.
"I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin," Martin, who hosted the ceremony solo in 2001 and 2003, said in a statement.
"I don't play the banjo but I'm thrilled to be hosting the Oscars—it's the opportunity of a lifetime," added Baldwin, a veteran movie star and past nominee who just collected his second straight Emmy for being freakin' hilarious on 30 Rock.
Our sides are hurting already.

"Steve will bring the experience of having hosted the show in the past and Alec will be a completely fresh personality for this event," first-time Oscar producer Adam Shankman said. (And we're thinking the prescient Mark Malkin deserves some kudos, as well.)
Martin, who guest-starred on 30 Rock last season as a billionaire friend of Jack's who happened to be under house arrest, was nominated for an Emmy for his très funny job hosting the 73rd Academy Awards in 2001.

That's interesting. I'm not sure what to think about this pairing yet, but maybe it will work out great.

I don't think the Kodak Theater will be big enough to hold both egos.

Wish they would just bring back Billy Crystal.

Steve Martin is hilarious...and he's been a host before, too. I think this could be a good pairing.

I can already count the number of uncomfortable political rants coming from Alec with a global soapbox. Should be fun, though. It would be even funnier if they paired Alec with Chris Rock. Now, that would be classic.

I thought Steve Martin did an excellent job hosting the Oscars before and though I haven't seen 30 Rock, I hear Alec Baldwin is hilarious so I'm somewhat looking forward to this.
