Oscar hosts: Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin

Jeezus! Why don't they just resurect Harvey Korman while they're at it!?!?

Not that these buys can't emcee...but, really, can't we have some fresh blood?

i don't really think tv personalities make the best hosts -- johnny carson's years of service notwithstanding. they just don't have the insider attitude towards the movie culture. tina fey might be good -- it's hard to tell. whoppie's turn as host was sort of a magnificent mess. martin and baldwin will be... fine. i can't really work up much enthusiasm for the oscars anyway -- and i think this whole 10 nominees thing is going to be a disaster (especially for women nominees ... they have trouble scraping up 5 leading actresses because of the dearth of roles for women).

if you're going to resurrect a good oscar host (male, that is) why not go for Bob Hope? he was enough of a hollywood insider to be able to joke and make off-the-cuff witty remarks about the films and the nominees and enough of an outsider (never being nominated himself) that he had a bit of a distance and irony about the proceedings.

Tina Fey as Oscar host....simply to amazing to comprehend.
