Picture this face handing out an Oscar
In news that you probably don’t care about, the finest comedic thespian of our time Eddie Murphy, will serve as MC to next year’s 84th Annual Academy Awards. This is probably their way of saying sorry for not nominating his outstanding work in the critically acclaimed film, Norbit. 50 year old Murphy was tapped to host the February 26th live telecast by show’s co-producer, Brett Ratner.
You may remember that the twinkle in Johnny Gill’s eye was once nominated back in 2006 for his supporting role in Dreamgirls. You may also remember that when he lost in his category, he did what any other Hollywood diva would do, that b*tch sahsayed right on out the Kodak theatre mid telecast.
Eddie Murphy as Jimmy in Dreamgirls
We’re not exaclty sure what to expect from him as host. Will he host as his alter ego Rasputia and give Oscar statues to the winners by pulling them out from her bikini bottoms? Or, will he hire his own trophy girls from the best transexuals that Craigslist has to offer? Instead of showing clips from the year’s nominated best picture, will he throw in clips from A Vampire in Brooklyn? It’s anyone’s guess at this point. But we wait with bated breath.
