Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin tapped to host 82nd Academy Awards Oscar show

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will co-host the 82nd Academy Awards, it was announced late Tuesday.

"I am happy to host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin," Martin (below) 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," Baldwin countered.

The pairing puts Martin, a veteran of two hosting jobs at the Oscars, and Baldwin, a hosting rookie, on the biggest entertainment show of the year.
