Earlier today I was sad to hear that Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller had turned down an offer to host the Oscars together, but the biggest awards show of the year has landed an equally hilarious duo: Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin! The comedians will team up to take over for Hugh Jackman, and I’m already giddy thinking about the high jinks that will ensue. I love that we’re getting two well-seasoned vets in the humor department

(a la Billy Crystal), and we’ve already seen how great these guys are together after Steve’s guest appearance on 30 Rock last season. So many questions come to mind: Will there be duets? Dance numbers? (Man, I hope so). Are you excited for dual hosting duties or are you worried that we’ll get another harried repeat of the 2008 Emmys ?
