Tinsel & Tine: 84th Annual Oscar Round Up 2012

Tradition may be safe, but not necessarily boring. Billy Crystal was the go to, tried and true choice to host The 84th Annual Academy Awards (9th x) after the Brett Ratner "gay slur"  firing and subsequent pull out of Eddie Murphy as host.

And I think most everyone in the room and in their living rooms agreed
it was a good choice. Who doesn't enjoy Crystal's clever little Oscar
song, which gently pokes fun at the nominations, offends no one, and
uses tunes in the public domain.

And
although others now use the gimmick, Crystal was the first to
superimpose himself into scenes from the movies being celebrated. This
year, even better than the kiss he received from Clooney while lying in a hospital bed; was seeing him eat a piece of poop pie from The Help, and then walk in on the bathroom scene from Bridesmaids. I also loved him in the Tintin wig....
