Alec Baldwin isn't nervous about hosting the Academy Awards.

The '30 Rock' star is co-hosting next year's ceremony with Steve Martin and believes there are higher expectations on the comic actor because he has fronted the Oscars ceremony before.

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are to co-host the Academy Awards.

The comedians will be the first people to co-host the ceremony as a pair since the first Oscars show in 1929.
