Say it isn't so. After Brett Ratner resigned from producing the Oscar's after saying a gay slur,Eddie Murphy followed suit. Tom Sherak, President of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that Eddie Murphy his leaving as host of the Academy Awards.
Saying quote:
"I appreciate how Eddie feels about losing his creative
partner, Brett Ratner, and we all wish him well,".
Eddie had a statement saying quote:
"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."
Ugh this sucks now. All this hype we had to watch the Oscar's now we will never see what could of happen with Eddie hosting.
