Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin to host Oscars
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has announced that funnymen Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will co-host the 82nd Oscars on March 7, 2010.
As EW.com reports, Oscar telecast producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman said in a statement: “We think the team of Steve and Alec are the perfect pair of hosts for the Oscars. Steve will bring the experience of having hosted the show in the past and Alec will be a completely fresh personality for this event.”
Martin, who lately has been exploring his music career as a serious banjo player, previously hosted the 73rd and 75th Oscar shows. “30 Rock” star Baldwin will be a first-time Oscars host, though he was nominated for an Academy Award in 2003 for “The Cooler.”
According to EW.com, this is what they had to say about their new job:
Martin: “I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin.”
Baldwin: “I don’t play the banjo but I’m thrilled to be hosting the Oscars – it’s the opportunity of a lifetime.”
