Alec Baldwin And Steve Martin To Co-Host Oscars!

alecstevehost.jpg

Yup, we're as surprised as they are! But we also think this is a brilliant idea.

Producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman said the following in a statement: "We think the team of Steve and Alec are the perfect pair of hosts for the Oscars. Steve will being the experience of having hosted the show in the past and Alec will be a completely fresh personality for this event."

Martin says he's "happy" to co-host "with my enemy Alec Baldwin." Baldwin reveals, "I don't play the banjo but I am thrilled to be hosting the Oscars - it's the opportunity of a lifetime."

Interesting to note, both actors will appear alongside Meryl Streep in the upcoming Nancy Meyers comedy It's Complicated this December... the Academy Awards will then take place on March 7th, 2010 at the Kodak Theatre.

We can't wait! This is a dream team!



I mean, right?

Alec Baldwin' pic above says it all. Zzzzz.

Enough of old dude hosts who aren't funny. Men suck at hosting. Year after year after year...

Yeah, cause dumb bitches like Kathy "tranny" griffen is just funny as hell. Women are not funny and should only host sex events and cooking. Who the hell is going to watch this liberal shit anyway, shove your jew lovefest up your ass.

I can't stand Alec Baldwin. I can't believe that an idiot who called his daughter a "little pig" is still getting work. Steve Martin, on the other hand, might be fun...

Get a new host for a change, those guys are old. Get a black guy like Eddie Murphy, he's funnier than most white hosts. Plus Alex Baldwin isn't funny, just because he's fat.

Steve is o.k., but yeah, he's old and he's been there before; get someone new.
If you get a black comedian which I think is a great idea; get Cedric the entertainer; he's the best.

You should really think about getting a female host again; not Whoopie Goldberg though, she's over the hill. get a white woman with class and someone who can sing and dance; lots to choose from.

Nobody watches anymore.
Same people get the so called best roles every year on crappy films nobody pays to see.
Yet they wonder why audiences have turned away from their propaganda filled movies.

Modern comedians aren't at all funny. Let thse old pro's show the new generation how it's really done.

whoopi is a nutjob, but there are a lot of women who'd be awesome and make the Oscars worth watching again (Tiny Fey)

there's enough boring not funny old guys on late night tv
