Eddie Murphy Confirmed to Host the Oscars
The rumors are confirmed: 50-year-old comedian/actor Eddie Murphy will host the 84th Annual Academy Awards this Fall. Good for him.
“I am enormously honored to join the great list of past Academy Award hosts from Hope and Carson to Crystal, Martin and Goldberg, among others,” Murphy said in a press release.
“Rush Hour” director Brett Ratner, who is producing the ceremony, recently directed Murphy in the upcoming movie “Tower Heist,” and Murphy was reportedly Ratner’s top choice to host the show.
“Eddie is a comedic genius, one of the greatest and most influential live performers ever,” Ratner said in a press release. “With his love of movies, history of crafting unforgettable characters and his iconic performances — especially on stage — I know he will bring excitement, spontaneity and tremendous heart to the show.”

Johnny is going to be casket sharp for this event. Eddie and Johnny might do a Party All the Time duet
This is going to be funny
Great News! Eddie will be Hilarious
@Sandy
@chiby and @Wut
My husband has an old dvd of ‘Delirious’ and there’s a scene at the end when he’s in his dressing room and he’s in some blue briefs with dudes standing around him…the chit looked SUSPECT as hell!
I think Tevin, Johnny and Eddie should do a “duet” of sorts.
Tevin sangs: “Can we talk?”
Eddie comes out in his red leather suit from “Raw” and Johnny goes…
“put on your red dress…and slip on your high heels….”
Press 1 – Suspect
Press 2 – Gay
Press 3 – bi sexual
What say you abt Eddie???
Johnny is going to be casket sharp for this event. Eddie and Johnny might do a Party All the Time duet
____________________________________________________________________
That would be fukking EPIC!!!!!!
@Dougie
Tevin should do ‘Break It Down’ then Johnny needs to do “Fairweather Friend’ then Eddie finishes with “Put Ur Mouth On Me”…..I’d pay money to see that chit….
Nobody but me thinks he should sing How Could It Be? Shrug:
Went to the movies this weekend and the trailer for the new movie that Eddie Murphy is in played. He not only looks gay but he also looks like a crackhead. How did he age so quickly. Does he have a crack habit that slipped under the radar? I mean he looked really bad.
I remember when Raw came out and everybody was talking about that shyt the next day, butchering all his jokes.
“EDDIE MURPHY! FVCK YOU! FVCK YOU EDDIEEEEEEEEE”
I will be watching. After getting snubbed for the Oscar I thought he would treat the Academy the same way he treats Saturday Night Live alumni reunions.
@Daisy pressing 2222222222222
he was getting his james thunder early on in put ur mouth on me he can close the show with that lmao yall stupid
I WAS JUUUUUST saying in another post how Bey fell down them stairs like Eddie said “Aunt Bunny” fell down them steps when he was lil…
A-goonie-goo-goo.
Maybe he can reprise his role in the “Remma The Time” video…maybe he can sing his rendetion of MJ’s “She’s Out of My Life”
“Tito I need some tissue”
@ KDub….He looked GUD in that RTT video.

Sooooo happy he got this gig. Now I have a reason to watch. I am a huge Eddie fan. I hope him being on stage ignites something for him to finally go on a comedic tour again….

Aw, Go Eddie.
