James Franco and Anne Hathaway are set to host the 83rd Annual Academy Awards!

Oscar telecast producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer announced just now that “James Franco and Anne Hathaway personify the next generation of Hollywood icons— fresh, exciting and multi-talented. We hope to create an Oscar broadcast that will both showcase their incredible talents and entertain the world on February 27. We are completely thrilled that James and Anne will be joining forces with our brilliant creative team to do just that.”

Very young hosts this year, it’s an interesting choice. Much like the expansion of the Best Picture category from 5 to 10 films that started last year, this seems like an attempt to bring up the ratings by pulling in a younger audience. They are actually both very talented and funny, I’m sure they will be great.

Hilary Swank brought the sexy to the 2010 Oscars red carpet. Wow.  Can you say kinky vixen?  Goodness!  I wasn’t expecting that from her at all!  Hilary has an amazing body, she proves it every year on the red carpet.  But, this one takes the cake.  She couldn’t win Best Dressed, but she certainly made the sexiest appearance by a long shot.

I am a super huge fan of Amanda Seyfried BUT, she failed miserably at the 2010 Oscars last night.  Amanda’s red carpet appearance was nothing short of frightful.  Her hair was pulled so tight it almost disappeared, the makeup was dismal, and well, she pretty much reminded me of the Ghost of Christmas Past…. sorry.

Then there was Sigourney Weaver…. ugh. That dress is not Oscar worthy.  That’s a date night dress… cocktail party maybe?  NOT good on the 82nd Annual Academy Awards red carpet when you’re surrounded by tons of glamorous women!

Miley Cyrus was quite simply, drop-dead-gorgeous on the red carpet at the 2010 Oscars last night.  There was a lot of great fashion, some really terrible attempts at ‘fashion’, and then there was Miley Cyrus who looked amazing.

She picked the perfect dress, her makeup and hair were perfection.  Miley Cyrus wins the Best Dressed Award from Backseat Cuddler.  I loved her look!  So fresh, mature, all grown up.  Miley Cyrus is a shining star….

Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin have been chosen to co-host the Oscars next year.

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are joining forces to co-host the 82nd Annual Academy Awards, the telecast’s producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman said Tuesday.

Doubling down on comedy, the producers said, “Steve will bring the experience of having hosted the show in the past, and Alec will be a completely fresh personality for this event.”

As a solo act, Martin hosted the Oscars in 2001 and 2003, earning an Emmy nomination for his first turn at-bat. He’s also been a presenter on a number of occasions including this year, when he appeared with Tina Fey to hand out a trophy.

Baldwin has appeared as a presenter, most recently in 2004 when he was nominated as best supporting actor for his appearance in “The Cooler.”

These two are bound to bring us a lot of laughs. I think they will make a great team, expect a lot of dry humor.
