Huh?

My favorite awards show and the reason I love awards show season has announced the hosts. The upcoming Academy Awards will be co-hosted by Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. If you are anything like me, you are have a huge question mark floating over your head. With an exclamation point.

Come on now, Oscars! They have different producers this year and I was hoping for a fresh unique choice, like Wanda Sykes (OK, she's probably a little too controversial for the telecast, but who cares?). Instead, they went with two mildly likable guys who I personally think are boring choices.

For one thing, I don't like the idea of co-hosts. This is a one person job, otherwise there will be too much mugging from one or both with each person trying to upstage the other, consciously or not. I have to say I'm disappointed, but maybe they'll blow my mind. Neil Patrick Harris was so spot-on for the Emmy telecast, I just can't see these two guys pulling it off to even compare. The last time they both hosted SNL (individually), I was underwhelmed. I do enjoy Alec Baldwin on 30 Rock, though.

I read this scoop at EW.com, of course.
