[Layla19951]

how old are Billy in this vid?

[TiggahG]

@Kingofpointless you mean like Hugh Jackman? He did like 7 or something movies in his opening number with props!

[thepunksterb1]

This video makes me feel old. This all happened 22 years ago? Damn!

[colleen4ever]

Unfortunately due to the fact that there are 9 nominated movies this year Billy might have to do his opening number just like this this year.

[kingofpointless]

@colleen4ever Or maybe he might not do it at all, but instead just an extra long monologue or sketch.

But cross your fingers he doesn't do the show like the last 2 years

[colleen4ever]

@kingofpointless Then he'll disappoint a lot of the people who tune in to see his medley.

Oh pleaee, NOTHING could be worse than last year!

[ytcarol]

Billy always knew how to tease without insulting because he loved and respected his fellow actors. Today's presenters don't have that orientation and often make embarrassing remarks that are somewhat humiliating to the poor victim who sits cringing in their seat.

[ilovemyschnauzer1]

I'm so glad that he's hosting again this year. In my opinion he is the second best after bob hope!!

[wishesandstarryeyes]

oh damnnn the Berlin wall?!! o__O time rly is different...but meryl streep never changes haha

[potterhead90]

[machngunjoe]

Is that a mullet I detect?

[RodrigoGonzalez1989]

Why is he saying something like : "my opening number that usually opens the Oscars?" Wasn't this his first time hosting ?

[KryskaBafski]

@RodrigoGonzalez1989 he was just talking about an opening act not specifically to his own opening =]

[IamNoodly]

So many jokes I'm too young to understand. Hearing all that laughter I must be missing out! :(

[Trotmaster15]

HAHAHA "If you finish it, they will applaude."

[maziebunny2]

ah, the sheer love of seeing Billy Crystal hosting the Oscars makes my smile broad and my heart light and giddy. 

[tastywaffle]

@NickDGass: He also hosted the 1996 Oscars.

[ruthanabi]

thanks for all of these. I wish you could also post the montages :D

[lola92393]

i honestly think he was really attractive back then=p

[M1995C]

i dont get the Driving Miss Daisy joke

[linkmymuffin]

@M1995C Driving Miss Daisy is the only film to win Best Picture without recieving a Best Director nomination.

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

@linkmymuffin Not the only film, but the only film since 1932.

[NecrosHun06]

Hugh Jackman's opening is still my favourite but this was pretty good too. :)

[bonvea]

WHAT TOOK YOU GUYS SO LOOONG TO UPLOAD THESE...

[belatedmedia]

Simple set up; simple punch line.

[reptongeek]

I just wanted to show what a complete Oscars anorak I am by pointing out that Marlon Brando was nominated in the Supporting category for A Dry White Season

[gonzo77ffm]

he is the best and i can't wait to see him this time

[mrnocal]

Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal...the perfect Oscar hosts! Some others do OK, but pale in comparison. Those 3 in their individual, but multiple hosting gigs helped you forget how tediously lengthy the awards ceremony could be with their sharp wits.

[thehollowsofficial]

thought a was on acid for a minute there

[FilmDisney]

7:34 "Gee it's great in a segregated state"

?

[NickDGass]

Please add all of them (1991, 1992, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2004)!

[penscratcher]

@NickDGass Dont forget 2012 (Soon to come) :)

[Funnyman519]

@NickDGass And soon, 2011!!! ;)

[themegagamesgamer]

@NickDGass Pluss 2012! 

[TheBigValley]

Billy Crystal: Great entertainer!!

[TheChicagoguy]

Now this guy is the definition of funny at the oscars 

[JHarrison646]

Eddie Murphy: The Greatest Host that Never Came True....

[eleanorfan1990]

@JHarrison646 wait what are you talking about?

[totoado]

5:30

hilarious

[soaphunks]

It's been 21 years and I'm STILL irritated that "Do the Right Thing" wasn't nominated for Best Picture.

[Halemane33]

Damn! After watching this video, I realize how much the time have changed!

[Voltabulous]

@Halemane33 and not for the better unfortunately.

[MichaelChapman18]

SPIKE!!!

[sharo8760]

Tom and Nicole at 4:06! How cute! :)

[robrichpo]

@sharo8760 :  Nicole looked so different.
