Why? What an odd choice.

“I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin,” Steve Martin said in a statement. “I don’t play the banjo but I’m thrilled to be hosting the Oscars — it’s the opportunity of a lifetime,” said Baldwin.

Bad idea. They should have gone with either Hugh Jackman or Neil Patrick Harris. Either would be stupendous. Jackman did a bang-up job last year (best Oscar telecast since the last time Billy Cristal hosted) – and NPH has proven himself by hosting both the Tony’s and the Emmy’s flawlessly. While I like Steve Martin (and Alec Baldwin) – neither would be my first choice to host a softball game – let alone the Academy Awards.

I became Steve Martin’s fan when I was in high school. Love his movies. Can’t wait to see oscars, even if that means that I;ll have to stay awake till 3am
