Alec Baldwin advises Julie Andrews, clinches Oscar gig
Alec Baldwin proves he's funny every week on "30 Rock," but he also showed he had the goods to host the Oscars when he took to the podium at the Elle Women in Hollywood Awards on Oct. 19.The actor delivered numerous jokes with aplomb, such as this bit of advice he gives to the legendary Julie Andrews.
During the event, Carol Burnett even suggested that Baldwin host the Oscars -- in front of the audience and Oscar co-producer Adam Shankman. Hmm, was this the performance that got Baldwin the gig or was it already in the works?
Check out more hilarious video from Baldwin's "audition" at Elizabeth Snead's The Dish Rag.

I think this is a great combo to host the Oscars together, unfortunately I haven't watched an Awards show in at least 5 years.
Love Steve Martin. This should be good!
