ContributorNetwork - Over the past few months, the Oscars' fall from grace has gone from gradual to precipitous. Things started to get ugly with this year's broadcast, on Feb. 27, when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' pathetic attempt to bait young viewers by hiring James Franco and Anne Hathaway to host backfired. Apparently gluttons for punishment, the Academy made another lame attempt at wooing the young viewers who don't (and may never) care about the Oscars by hiring director Brett Ratner to produce the 2012 broadcast. Ratner is notoriously crass, but he's got a populist touch, and he delivered his pal Eddie Murphy as host. Predictably, however, Ratner talked himself out of the job by saying characteristically obnoxious things in public. So out Ratner went, and with him went Murphy.

Billy Crystal just announced ... he's replacing Eddie Murphy as the host for next year's Oscars show.

The legendary Academy Awards host tweeted just minutes ago -- "Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up my prescriptions. Looking forward to the show."

As we previously reported, Murphy backed out from hosting the show yesterday -- after his friend Brett Ratner resigned from producing it ... following uproar over a homophobic slur Ratner dropped at a film screening.

This will be Crystal's 9th time hosting the Oscars.

AP - To the movie industry, the Oscars are an awards ceremony. For the rest of us, they're a show. So while we couldn't recall last year's best picture on a bet (Cameron's blue-aliens movie? No, wait, it was "Hurt Locker" from his ex!), we savor the memory of Billy Crystal's great opening bits and Jack Palance's one-armed push-ups and brave Christopher Reeve onstage, alone, in a wheelchair.
