And the new host of the 84th Academy Awards is … Billy Crystal as revealed by producers Brian Grazer and Don Mischer. The 2012 telecast airing live February 26 on ABC will mark Crystal’s ninth time as emcee and he steps in to replace Eddie Murphy who announced yesterday he is exiting as host following Brett Ratner’s departure as the telecast’s producer. Crystal last served as host of the Oscars in 2004. After the announcement was made, Crystal commented, “Some of the best moments of my career have happened on the Oscar stage. I am thrilled to be back there. Actually, I am doing this so that the young woman in my pharmacy will stop asking me my name when I pick up my prescriptions.”
