Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will co-host the 82nd Academy Awards this year. The announcement was made lately by the Oscar's telecast producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman. Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman stated that the team of Steve and Alec are the ideal pair of hosts for the Academy Awards. Schankman also conveyed that with the Martin-Baldwin casting, they intend to restore some energy into a night that's usually thought of as serious,but serious isn't all the time the most entertaining too. Steve will display the experience of having hosted the show in the past and Alec will be a completely fresh celebrity for this event.
