Academy Awards Brouhaha

‎11-09-2011 05:59 PM

Eddie Murphy backs out as host in order to support his friend, Ratner.

"Eddie Murphy is no longer hosting the 84th annual Academy Awards.

Following the exit of his good friend and 'Tower Heist' director Brett Ratner as producer of the show last night over a series of controversial comments, the Academy announced that Murphy has withdrawn from his hosting duties, which he first took on in September."

"The withdrawal caps a tumultuous week for Ratner and the Oscars telecast. Last week, Ratner used a gay slur when asked a question about filmmaking."
