Yup, that's right. Entertainment's badasses Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are set to host next year's Oscar ceremony. On March 7, 2010, Hollywood's heavy weights will hit the stage in a gladiator-style cage match where only one star will leave the Kodak Theater ...or they'll hand out some awards and make some topical jokes.

Steve Martin has hosted the Oscars twice in the past. But the Academy is hoping to bring a fresh personality with Alec Baldwin, who has hosted SNL a grand total of 14 times. BUT Steve Martin has hosted SNL 15 times. It's a shock either way that both actors' egos can fit into a venue as small as the Kodak Theater. But wait, it's LA, the city where anything can happen. Or is that New York? Oh well, let's just hope that it's not as boring as when Jon Stewart hosted the Oscars, twice.

"Sorry, Academy."
