The organizers of the Oscars decided yesterday that since Eddie Murhpy dropped out of hosting next year’s awards show, they were bringing back fan favorite Billy Crystal to take over the emcee duties.

It seems interesting timing for Murphy to decide to withdraw with a movie (TOWER HEIST) coming out today in theaters. Murphy, has been headlines for two days and no doubt, this helps the box office returns.

Crystal has hosted the Oscars 8 times before this gig and took to Twitter to say, “Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up prescriptions. Looking forward to the show.”
