Sometimes a story is just simple enough for a blogger with no time and a brain full of mush from a long day of nonwriting related mishegas. So, courtesy of Anne Thompson and THR, comes the news that this year’s Oscar hosts will be Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.
Do I think this will be good? Well, I’ve always thought Martin was the funniest, classiest host in my entire lifetime of Oscar watching. And, like pretty much everyone else on the planet, I laugh pretty much just looking at Baldwin. I should add however, that this has been the kind of day that, when I saw the name’s “Martin and Baldwin” leap out at me from some place, my first thoughts were of Martin Lawrence and Stephen Baldwin. They, too, would make an interesting team, but I think these two will do better.
