The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has announced Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will co-host this year's Oscar telecast. The 82nd Academy Awards ceremony will be held March 7, 2010.
Martin hosted the show in 2001 and 2003. He earned an Emmy nomination for his first hosting duties. This will be Baldwin's first time as the host of the awards show.
"I don't play the banjo but I'm thrilled to be hosting the Oscars - it's the opportunity of a lifetime," says Baldwin in a press release regarding his selection. He was nominated for an Academy Award in 2003 for his supporting role in "The Cooler."
"I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin," says Martin.
After Martin's embarrassing performances in "Pink Panther" and "Pink Panther II," it is amazing the Academy would even let him get near an Oscar.
After your embarrassing typo, I'm surprised the Fresno Beehive would even let you get near the blogosphere again.
I didn't like the Pink Panther movies either, but I suppose we can forgive Steve Martin for some of his work as an Actor, if we can forgive you for your poor grammar as a Journalist. Nevertheless, I'll look forward to your nomination for AND Nobel Peace Prize in Journalism. :-)
No hard feelings, bro!
Love Steve Martin. This should be good!
