Billy Crystal replaces Eddie Murphy as host of Academy Awards

Billy Crystal is all set to host Oscars.


Comedian and actor Billy Crystal has announced he will host next year's Academy Awards, ending days of turmoil over producing and hosting duties for Hollywood's night of nights.

Crystal announced on Twitter he would be hosting the Oscars for the ninth time, stepping in to fill the role vacated yesterday by Eddie Murphy.

"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," Crystal tweeted.

"Some of the best moments of my career have happened on the Oscar stage. I am thrilled to be back there," said Crystal, quoted by the Academy.
