Eddie Murphy to host surely will be better than Chris Rock and last year's team of James Franco and Anne Hathaway

Eddie's main competition was Oprah Winfrey

Jesus its only September.

Eddie Murphy ?? Can you imagine if they'd gotten him to host it in 1983?

What a different show that would be

Eddie Murphy is a deeply unpleasant man who hasn't been funny in about 12 years.

Walked out of the Oscars when he didnt win and didnt bother to see how the rest of his co-actors got on. I wouldnt ask him also for not being funny and also not showing respect to the academy. He should learn to grow up.

just get billy crystal or steve martin out of the cyrogenic freezer already and be done with all the rumours

bnt · 08-09-2011, 11:20

Steve Martin in the freezer? Hardly. He has spent the last year touring the world with his banjo - if anything, he's too busy to do the Oscars. Billy Crystal, on the other hand ...

Love the Neil Patrick Harris reference.

Wish Steve Martin would go back to being funny though. He's wrapped up in writing serious stuff (books/movies) & playing banjo right now & when he tweets he's hilarious.

We could do with a Bowfinger 2 & I'd love to see a return to The Jerk

Anyone got any early Oscar predictions? I think Oldman has a really good shot at Best Actor for TTSS. Hard to believe he's never even been nominated. Other potential contenders at the moment are DiCaprio for J Edgar, Pitt for Moneyball, Fastbender for Shame and George Clooney for that Alexander Payne film.

The Academy are stupid and corrupt, they do not deserve respect.

Alexander Payne's The Descendants seems to be the one film getting major buzz and of course Meryl Streep will no doubt be a contender for The Iron Lady and I think Kristin Wiig and maybe Melissa McCarthy could get a nomination for Bridesmaids and I'm hoping Warrior fairs well
