Today, in the wake of producer Brett Ratner stepping down from helming the 2012 Academy Awards telecast, host Eddie Murphy also exited the production, leaving two gaping holes in the February 26, 2012 event. As of this writing, no substitutes have been named.
Ratner made a remark last week that rehearsing was for "fags" in regards to the filming of his latest picture, the Eddie Murphy vehicle Tower Heist. This obviously created a media firestorm and Ratner soon departed the Oscars camp.
Of course this is close to a disaster for a television and Internet event which generates millions of dollars in ad revenue, not to mention the controversy tarnishes the usually vanilla festivities.
Now that Ratner and Murphy are both out, who should step in to fill Murphy's shoes? More than likely it will be an old Hollywood hand or a team of young funny people, like Jason Segel and Neil Patrick Harris, but that's just us thinking out loud. Here's ten people and pairs that should take over for Murphy, if there was any justice or humor in the world.
