Billy Crystal will host the Oscars for the ninth time, following the resignation of Eddie Murphy. Crystal’s twitter joke: “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 (“When Harry Met Sally,” “The Princess Bride”) has been absent from the screen for some time, but is making a cameo appearance in “The Muppets” this month, in a role where he can be… himself.
