Alec Baldwin & Steve Martin Set To Host Oscars

Steve Martin won an Emmy Award nomination for hosting the 73rd Academy Awards and returned to take charge of the 75th event, but Alec Baldwin has never fronted the big show.

Making the announcement today, new Oscar telecast producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman stated, "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 jokes, "I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin," while The Cooler star Baldwin added, "I'm thrilled to be hosting the Oscars. It's the opportunity of a lifetime."

Baldwin was nominated for an Academy Award in 2003 for his supporting role in The Cooler. That year also marked his most recent appearance as a presenter on the show.

The Oscars will be presented on March 7, 2010 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

Steve Martin Feeling The Recession

Here's comedian and 30 Rock guest star Steve Martin frolicking in the water of St. Bart's with pal Martin Short. Speaking of shorts, Steve is wearing the same ones he wore last summer. So? Who cares, Daily Mail! Damn, maybe he's frugal! Not everyone needs a different outfit for every hour of the day! He's being green and getting some wear out of it!

Martin's joining the rest of the celebrity world down there. His sequel to the Pink Panther remake he made comes out soon, and he's probably considering drowning himself in the warm waters to avoid having to shill it. Why, Steve why?

Martin Short's alive?
