LOS ANGELES (AP) --
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.
