Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to co-host the Oscars.

[Graybeard]

Baldwin will insist on being allowed to wear an arrow through his head too.

It won't be the first time they have teamed up. They co-star in a new movie with Meryl Streep titled, "It's Complicated" to be released at Christmas.

1. Why am I thinking of the Titanic just now? n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. Well, hopefully it will at least be more interesting than Hugh Jackman last year.

I swear, I turned the ceremonies on for about 2-3 minutes and then just proceeded to change the channel after some hideous song and dance routine.

3. Hosting the Oscars really is a man's world. nt

[Bucky]

4. Didn't Whoopi Goldberg host them once? Well, I mean, she didn't *host* host them...

    (sorry)

[Captain Hilts]

5. Yes. I think Ellen did too. That's about it. Why, in the 80s didn't they have someone like Lauren

Bacall host them?

[joeybee12]

7. I doubt Lauren did, but I know Jane Fonda did...n/t

[Captain Hilts]

9. No, she didn't, but should have. nt

[joeybee12]

10. Who, no to Lauren? Jane co-hosted with Alan Alda....n/t

[Bucky]

11. Co host? Ah, shit, that's like an oscar for "best supporting"--no one cares about THAT!

[joeybee12]

6. Whoopi has hosted at least twice...Ellen got rave reviews when she

hosted...they should have signed her up for a long-term gig.

[LynneSin]

8. I find "It's complicated interesting because Streep is older than Baldwin and Martin

She was also older than the 3 she starred with in "Mamma Mia" - Brosnan, Skarsgaard and Firth.

Probably because Meryl Streep is beautiful inside and out and so fricking talented.

12. Martin Short (as Jiminy Glick) called the Baldwin brothers

what was it...characterized them as overly hairy or something, then said the classic line:

"They're like apes, who've ESCAPED!"

:rofl:
