Bill Crystal hosts the 84th annual academy awards.

On the 10th of November Emmy awards winner Bill Crystal has confirmed that he will be hosting the awards show. After the dramatic step down of producer Bret Ratner and just a day after comedy legend Eddy Murphy relinquished his hosting duties, Bill Crystal steps into the scene to takeover.
A spokesperson confirmed Crystal's hosting duties to the Times. It will mark the comedy veteran's tenth time hosting the Oscars. Brian Grazner will be taking over production.
