Oscar 2010: Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin to Host Oscar Telecast
Steve Martin in The Pink Panther 2
Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will act as co-hosts at the 2010 Academy Awards ceremony, Oscar telecast producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman have announced.
Steve Martin hosted the 73rd and 75th Academy Awards shows, earning an Emmy nomination for the first stint. He has also served as a presenter several times, most recently at the 2009 Oscar ceremony in February, when he shared the stage with Tina Fey. (Theirs was a very clever bit. Tina Fey, in fact, would have been an ideal Oscar co-hostess.)
Alec Baldwin was nominated for an Academy Award in 2003 for his supporting role in The Cooler.
The 2010 Academy Award nominations will be announced on Tuesday, February [...]

2005 WGA Award Nominations
The biggest surprise in the 2005 Writers Guild Award nominations was the inclusion of Tina Fey’s Mean Girls (above, with Lindsay Lohan), which has thus far been ignored by other award-giving groups. Among the other nominated screenplays were those for multiple award-winners The Aviator, Sideways, and Million Dollar Baby.
According to the WGA’s press release, "films eligible for a Writers Guild Award were produced signatory to the Writers Guild minimum basic agreement, and released in the year 2004 under the jurisdiction of Writers Guild of America, East and West and affiliate guilds in Australia, Canada, French Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, and New Zealand.
