Eddie Murphy Backs Out Of Hosting The Oscars

Eddie Murphy Backs Out Of Hosting The Oscars:

After Brett Ratner stepped down from producing the 2012 Oscars following some backlash over a homophobic slur, Eddie Murphy has decided not to stay on as host of next year’s awards show.  Eddieshared:
“First and foremost I want to say that I completely understand and support each party’s decision with regard to a change of producers for this year’s Academy Awards ceremony. I was truly looking forward to being a part of the show that our production team and writers were just starting to develop, but I’m sure that the new production team and host will do an equally great job.”
The Academy president Tom Sherak shared:
“I appreciate how Eddie feels about losing his creative partner, Brett Ratner, and we all wish him well,”
I’m dying to know who they’ll ask to host the show now!  Who would you love to see take over the gig?
