Looks like the Academy decided that they’re host this year should be Billy Crystal. Not a bad decision… but as it turns out Billy Crystal said “no thanks”. It’s not because he’s not interested in doing the show again… but this is a really busy time for him.
According to MSNBC, the actor/comedian is right in the middle of getting his 1 man stage show “700 Sundays” ready which opens in Los Angeles next month, as well as preparing to direct another film and is in the midst of writing a book. The dude just doesn’t have the time.
So this raises the question… who should host the Oscars this year? Dear God please don’t let it be Ellen (as some of you may know I really hate the idea of a non-movie industry person hosting the biggest night in the movie industry… call me crazy. Not to mention I think that lady is seriously over-rated).
