The 2010 Academy Awards will be presented by not one, but two Hollywood stars. Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin have been picked to host the 82nd ceremony.

Comic actor and musician Steve joked: "I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin."

Alec meanwhile described it â€" it's the opportunity of a lifetime."

The Cheaper By The Dozen star has plenty of experience in this field. He fronted the the 73rd and 75th Academy Awards.

Both A-listers are also known for presenting Saturday Night Live.

The pair follow Hugh Jackman who received rave reviews after singing and dancing his way through tinseltown's biggest night.

Next year's ceremony will be broadcast on Sunday, March 7 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
