Oscar show opens with ribbing by Martin, Baldwin

THE Academy Awards have gotten under way with some playful ribbing of Hollywood stars by hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.

Martin and Baldwin, the first dual emcees at the Oscars since 1987, made light fun of nominees including Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, Woody Harrelson, James Cameron, Mo'Nique and Kathryn Bigelow.

Before their monologue, the show began with an introduction of lead-acting nominees and a song-and-dance number by Neil Patrick Harris.

Bigelow's the Iraq War drama "The Hurt Locker" and Cameron's sci-fi epic "Avatar" are tied for the Oscar lead with nine nominations each, including best picture and director.
