The Academy Awards’ Red Carpet

The 82nd Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, honored the best films of 2009 on March 7, 2010, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.

Rehearsals took place on March 6th, and now the real event!

Actors Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin host the show. Martin hosted for the third time, after previously presiding over the 73rd and 75th ceremonies, while Baldwin hosted the show for the first time. This is the first telecast to have multiple hosts since the 59th ceremony.  (Amanda Seyfried, AP Photo/Amy Sancetta)

Another first! The 2010 ceremony will feature ten Best Picture nominees instead of five, a tradition that was discontinued after 1943.
