Brett Ratner Not Ready to Name Billy Crystal Oscar Host Just Yet

Following his appearance at the Academy Awards back in February, Billy Crystal said that "got a little itchy" to host the ceremonies again. "We'll see what happens," the eight-time Oscars MC said during a 20th anniversary screening of City Slickers in Los Angeles over the weekend. "I can't promise anything." Ain't that the truth! Reached for comment by Deadline about Crystal's possible Oscars return, producer Brett Ratner seemed rather unmoved. "I didn't see what Billy said. I'm really focused on finishing my film Tower Heist right now. I was told by the Academy that I don't have to make a decision until mid-September." Good job getting that plug in, Brett! [Deadline]
