Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to Co-host 82nd Academy Awards
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science has announced that Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will serve as co-hosts of the 82nd Academy Awards.
"We think the team of Steve and Alec are the perfect pair of hosts for the Oscars," said Oscar telecast producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman. "Steve will bring the experience of having hosted the show in the past and Alec will be a completely fresh personality for this event."
"I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin," said Martin.
"I don't play the banjo but I'm thrilled to be hosting the Oscars – it's the opportunity of a lifetime," said Baldwin.
There have been multiple hosts for the Oscars before as you can see on this chart. Hugh Jackman was last year's host and he did a terrific job.
