Hollywood veterans Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are to share hosting duties at the 82nd Academy Awards.

Telecast producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman said Martin and Baldwin were "the perfect pair of hosts for the Oscars".

The producers have said they hope to resurrect the ceremony's ratings and make the show more fun by building on the changes introduced at February's ceremony, which tinkered with the way awards were presented and featured Broadway-style musical interludes.
