I liked when Rock hosted, I liked when Letterman hosted, but Alec Baldwin's "is it real or is it fake" smugness never fails to crack up.
-
Great news.
-
Not both. They can play off each other well, but it's overkill. Too many chefs in the kitchen.
-
Alec Baldwin is the PERFECT host. Great comedic talent, fantastic actor. Steve Martin? What's that hack going to do? Show up with an arrow through his head?
-
fuck. you.
-
- Steve Martin, on Bjork's "dress" during the 2001 awards. Still my all time favorite off-the-cuff joke in Oscar history.
-
That always trips me up.

Steve Martin hasn't made a funny movie since Bowfinger... BUT...
by sullivansmith
He's a funny as hell Oscar host and I think this is a great pairing. I am also never wrong.
-
...that gave Devito salad dressing for his carrot sticks?
-
I fucking love this idea.
-
I hope you're kidding...otherwise you were dropped on your head or were born after 1993.
-
especially the second time around. He really had it together and he wasn't afraid of poking fun at the establishment. Sure he can't sing and dance, he's still awesome.
-
Always loved him as S N'L host.
-
I have never agreed with you more.
-
I might actually watch this shit now.
-
He is funny as fuck but the "serious musician" stuff isn't Oscar material. Unless it's a bit.
-
the Golden Globes talkback? Second, Steve Martin doesn't need a co-host. This is totally like on the office when Jim gets the promotion to co-manager and Michael gets the demotion from manager to co-manager. But then again, maybe Martin wanted it. 3rd, you know it's a politically safe year for liberals, (no Bush in office, no controversial pending military invasions) when they let a outspoken (on political issues) liberal host the Oscars. They wouldn't have had the balls to let Baldwin host 6 years ago.
-
People who see EVERYTHING through Partisan Politics Glasses are the worst. What a waste of life.
-
She'll probably get to write the banter!
Great choice for co-hosts.

Does "It's Complicated" come out before or after the Oscars?
by juansanchez
Seems a little like a publicity ploy.

Steve is smart for making this move, he is still funny
by beyondthunderdome2girls1cupbillcosby
but this shows that he is still experimental and unegotistical and smart
-
neither a republican or a democrat. I just find it funny that they censor and frown upon political opinions at the Oscars, yet they hire a vocal political observer to host. Feel free to call me any name in the book, I'd rather strike a chord than be ignored.
-
some time ago. Not quite sure when it happened - maybe Father of the Bride Part 2?

I wonder if we can get a Three Amigos reunion on stage?
by lockesbrokenleg
-
and THEN it'll be a party. A COLONOSCOPY party!
-
well beyonce too..but, in an otherwise dreadful show. man beyonce is fine.like a rodan scuplture come to life and with a force to match.
-
I wasn't kidding. Martin was a funny man years and years and years ago, but the past couple of decades? The Pink Panther? All the rest? I don't think so. I took your advice and fucked myself. Now I'm smoking a cigarette. Life is good.
-
guess whos in it. steve martin and alec baldwin. are the oscar producers grabbing hosts for upcoming movies. Hugh Jackman was in wolverine and the god awful australia. he got the gig.
-
is a very serious man. he is more interested in the buying and selling of paintings than making movies.

Of all time. Yes, his movies suck now. But when hosting the Oscars, he is brilliant. It's a glimpse of his stand-up chops, which are still quite strong to this day. He should even give stand-up another go...
-
the show is going to be great, maybe i'll write some material for it
-
but they turned it down. I'm not sure which duo I prefer but both are great choices as far as I'm concerned.http://tinyurl.com/yzs87ca

Why not? They constantly have presenters for that reason. "To present the next award, from the upcoming [insert title for piece of crap March release so-called comedy], here is..."They're always looking for ways to save time during the telecast, yet it has yet to occur to the producers to have presenters already at the podium instead of having them be announced then walk the length of the stage. Also, another time-saver would be to cut the scripted banter between presenters. On rare occasions it can be funny; more often than not, it's just painful to watch. What makes it worse is some dude wins and gets his one moment of public recognition and is given only 45 seconds to make the most of it. Yet moments earlier, Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz get 3 minutes to stumble over lame banter read off a teleprompter so they can show their "chemistry" in promotion of their shitty Vegas movie.I say this in every Oscar thread - the decision to go to 10 Best Picture nominations was done so massively popular mediocre films will be recognized on Oscar night; so that more people will be invested in the show, rooting for "their movie". As a result I assure you, New Moon will be nominated for Best Picture. I hope I am wrong, but we all know I am right.
-
wow. what a film. Scott was a hypocrit regarding the oscars. not long after he receieved his second award. the two oscars were sent to his home in spain.
-
called the national film awards. where the public get to decided all the noms. and who wins. maybe the academy should do that.

if ampas did bow to public pressure and expand the best pic list
by emeraldboy
to ten doesnt that create a problem for harry knowles. if you make a show like this open to the public and harry gets behind a film and if he really likes new moon. isnt that a bit of problem.
-
...they forgot to give Steve Martin a boner.
-
You're forgetting that, in the States, a movie about guinea pig super spies was number one for a couple of weeks. It went on to gross $118M. And "A Serious Man" is in limited release. So, I don't have much faith in the American movie-going public. We have that type of awards show, and it's on MTV.
-
havent been to the cinema in two months. since I have been abroad.
-
he and Baldwin can have a "low voice off".
-
...as long as the last 10 years or so of Martin's career are fair game for Baldwin.
-
Steve Martin is relentless in his attacks on The Scientology cult. Glad he finally got the gig again. I don't think Tina Fey is upset. Like was said, she will probably help with the jokes.-----later-----m

I can't wait for the Bernadette Peters and Kim Bassinger jokes
by thelordofhell
Steve--My crazy ex had tits for days and a mouth made for sucking cock!! Alec--My crazy ex fucked like a wild beast and liked it real dirty!!
-
that joke was funny.......when I first saw it on 30 Rock.
-
I was thinking just the other day (right after Jackman said no), that it was overdue for Steve to come back. I dig Alec, but he's more of a Golden Globes man. Let ol' Steve carry the show. Rightfully.

Ricky Gervais blows and he doesn't deserve a talkback.
