LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Oscar organizers on Thursday brought back funnyman Billy Crystal to host the film awards after recent days of turmoil that led to the departure of one producer and his handpicked emcee Eddie Murphy.

Yippee! Billy Crystal is a hoot. I'm never forget the year they wheeled him out as Hanibal Lector.

Much better!

Finally Hollywood learns that "younger and hipper" does not equal good hosting lol. Last year was a disaster.

Bill Crystal is awesome.

But I couldn't care less about the Oscars. The whole farce was past its prime even in its prime.

I think Eddie Murphy is very funny sometimes. Am I the only one ? Love Crystal as host. Robin Williams is so funny when he is not too hyper. He kind of grew on me but has he ever hosted the Oscars ? He might be too manic.
