a message from my bb alec

When I got the phone call asking me to co-host the Oscars with Steve Martin, I was shocked.

I have always enjoyed the ceremony where many of the film community's most talented and influential members come together to honor achievement in film. Among the greatest moments for me were presenting John Barry his Oscar for the score of DANCES WITH WOLVES, to present a clip from one of my favorite films, THE REMAINS OF THE DAY and to watch my then wife win Best Supporting Actress for LA CONFIDENTIAL. The Oscars. Inarguably, the most important awards in the entertainment industry.

Now, it looks like I am going to co-host this thing with someone I deeply admire and who I am certain will carry me on his back throughout, having previously hosted himself two times.

The Oscars. March 7, 2010. Hosted by Steve Martin and that guy from 30 Rock. I hope you'll enjoy.


also, a new trailer for It's Complicated!


source and youtube

I still see many people are on the fence about the hosting duties...what do you think ONTD?

Should have been NPH so he could complete the hosting trifecta. Tonys, Emmys, Oscars.

But I love Alec so it's cool I guess.

I am only here because of Meryl Streep. She is perfection. She could play Batman and be the right choice.
