In an effort to delete the previous week’s events and get things moving in the right direction again, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that none other than Billy Crystal, one of the greatest Academy Awards host ever to take the stage, will be returning for a 9th time to replace the recently departed Eddie Murphy.

It was thought that Crystal might be an option after it was reported that he would be involved in the ceremony whether he was hosting or not a while back. Fans had different ideas, putting on a campaign to get the Muppets to host, but Billy feels like the right choice.

And never fear, that doesn’t mean that the Muppets won’t be presenting an award or something else.

Personally, I couldn’t be happier. No one does the Oscars like Billy, and anytime I can watch him host I will indeed be watching.

What do you think about Billy Crystal returning to host?
