Since everyone else is talking about it: The New York Times is reporting that Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin have been picked as the hosts for next year's big Oscar ceremony. The announcement comes a few days after British funnyman Ricky Gervais was named as the host for the Golden Globes ceremony.
Now, these three are all very funny individuals, so the shows should at least be entertaining. With Adam Shankman of Hairspray fame aboard to direct the Oscars, it's going to be an interesting night.
But Nikki Finke over at Deadline.com broke the story that Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. had declined to host. Despite Stiller starting to lose his edge, that duo would have been quite a sight to see, especially after their biting Oscar satire in Tropic Thunder. Even better - if Downey had hosted in character as Lincoln Osiris.
