  • Billy Crystal to host the Oscars!

    Thought I'd re-start this thread for the new host.

    I'm stoked! Might actually enjoy the show this time. The Oscars are appointment television again.

    The only person I would have liked to see in the spotlight more is Neil Patrick Harris, but he'll have to do a couple more movies first.

    Always liked Billy. Though I was hoping for someone younger (and perhaps ABC too), I'm sure he'll do fine.

    Jim Carrey would've absolutely killed, I think.

      Safe, dependable choice that they know will deliver. With Eddie Murphy pulling out and the fiasco last year, I can't imagine they were going to take a chance on anyone who didn't have a solid track record. Should be a good show.

        Woo hoo! I wonder how they got him to agree to do it again.

            God I love this guy:

            Crystal broke the news himself on Twitter with the following tweet:

            "Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up my prescriptions. Looking forward to the show."

              Great reason.
