Looks like producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman settled on Baldwin and Martin. Both are funny, so it could be good.

Beverly Hills, CA (November 3, 2009) — Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will serve as co-hosts of the 82nd Academy Awards®, Oscar telecast producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman announced today.
