Topic: Did you hear who's hosting the Oscars this coming year?

I read that Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are going to host together.  Interesting choice.  I imagine they'll refer to their rivalry over hosting 'Saturday Night Live"; that's what I know of them together so far, since they've each hosted something like 14 times.  Are they now going to start a competition over hosting the Oscars?  Of course, Steve hosted before (has it been once or twice?), so I'm sure he'll rub that in Alec's face.  They both can be quite sarcastic and droll, so it may be a lot of fun.  If Alec doesn't talk too much, and Steve doesn't get too silly!

I saw a poll where Tom Hanks got the most votes.  I think he'd be a good choice too, but I've never heard that he's interested.

Steve and Alec are both in a new movie It's Complicated with Meryl Streep. Of course she's probably going to be nominated for Julie and Julia so they'll be joking about her.

Steve has one over Alec in the SNL hosting duties. This should be a good teaming and add to that Adam Shankman (currently judging on SYTYCD) will produce.

I love Tom Hanks but was surprised to see he beat out Hugh Jackman and Neil Patrick Harris in that poll.
