Eddie Murphy also quit the Oscars!
Completely validating my theory that Brett Ratner and Eddie Murphy were chosen to put together the Oscars because someone was drunk and/or high at 2AM and needed a way to laugh and feel rich at the same time, Eddie has also quit hosting the Oscars in a press release straight from the AMPAS right after Brett was fired/given the boot, whichever version of the story you want to believe.
Comedy actor Eddie Murphy may be hosting the 84th edition of the Oscars, according to The Los Angeles Times.
