Surprise guest Billy Crystal at the Oscars®

[eljuiciofinal2011]

BILL CRISTAL 2012 LO MAXIMO

[getagripUSA]

jim carrey should host!!!

[ak6475]

They're all thinking, "he's come to save us all!"

[vniguam]

I was excited to see Eddie Murphy hosting... as I think it would've been a different spice to Oscar hosting... but Billy Crystal is the man...

[T0B0KKE]

I'd like Jon Stewart or Ellen better...

[ilovemyschnauzer1]

I'm so excited to see him at the oscars this year!!!! glad eddie murphy quit becuase now we get a really great host

[Tinkerbell5046]

fantastic that he's back for 2012, not sure how his monologue is going to go with 9 !!! pictures nominated for Best picture .Good Luck Bill..:-)

[ralphvds]

There actually a guy giving a cue to the audience to give him a standing ovation at 0:27. Billy deserved it anyway...

[TheRubiiie]

Anne's just annoying !

[ytertyu]

bob hope was unfunny fart , shit on his grave ...Steve Martin and Robin Williams  are best hosts !!

[K3VIN1AMBOSS3]

I thought yelawolf was gonna walk on stage

[superjumper19]

can,t wait to see him hosts oscars again

[SDVR007]

its funny how the recording of bob hope was still better than anne hathaway and james franco

[TheBananaPuppi]

Wow... I only actually saw Billy Crystal in The Princess Bride... I thought he really looked like Miracle Max! lol

[jennypriero]

I think they should just let him present the Oscars every year.

[1996sherry]

I guess the academy told Billy to come to the academy awards. In case Anne and James are lulling the audiences to sleep, they have him to wake them up.

[Gidget521]

I call this the "Where have you been all night?!?!?

" standing ovation! :)

[dsumofallfears]

I m sure this was plan B.

[Scott125670]

As much as I love Billy Crystal as as Oscar host, thumbs up if one year you'd love to see Robin Williams host the Oscars :D

[1996sherry]

@Scott125670

I will have all my fingers and toes up if they host together

[TheChicagoguy]

@Scott125670 him or Jim Carrey

[KFilipov13]

@Scott125670 Impossible :D, he Co-Hosted and I doubt the academy would ever go back to him, he is too crazy, he wouldn't let anyone else talk :D

[KetchupAndMustard55]

OMG, every time I hear Billy's voice, I just think of Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.

[Mralbarni]

He flip me off!

[mexluver05]

Franco typical pretty boy shit head killed it for Anne. She kept as much as she could and I think she needs more credit. and welcome back Billy 2012!!! Mr. Oscar!! I hope I live to see it

[dennalilly]

...If I don't watch the video while listening... I picture Calcifer. XD

[AnthonyVardaro]

Thank god Billy Crystal is hosting the oscars again this year, he's clearly the best. If the academy knew what they were doing theyd offer him the job every year, he brings some class and REAL comedy to the show

[nirvanafan91ify]

And he's hosting next year. YAY!

[egancheez]

0:30 a little late there, Mark Wahlberg

[CptForrestGump]

they shuda just let him take over the show once he entered

[Mralbarni]

You are the man

[ali2538]

He showed them how it's done!

[seau2007]

James Franco - average actor...nothing to write home to mom about. I enjoyed your commentary idea. But, you guys need to tune up the dialoge and smoothness of your delivery.

[lola92393]

so glad he's going to host next year. someone who's actually funny

[tyryryrrr]

so happy hes hosting this years oscars!! one of the best!!!

[HalfLifeHalfDead]

Welcome back, mr. Crystal.

On a side note, why does Chris Nolan ALWAYS have to look so.. creepy? 0:39

[juini123]

Hahaha He's BACK!!

[TheChicagoguy]

So glad he's coming back

[NanaMchedlidze]

what does it mean to flip off in this context please?

[TheAllKnowingTribute]

The middle finger.

[MrKingKong007]

He'll be back!!

[0707theone]

He is hosting 2012 Oscars!!!!!..More excited than ever!!!!!!

[zTitANR3Dz]

THIS GUY IS HOSTING THE OSCARS THIS YEAR YYEAAHHHHH! :D

[MichaelChapman18]

BILLY'S HOSTING THE OSCARS!!! Now all I need is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo winning Best Picture and Fincher winning Best Director and my year is set.

[elmojonesy]

@MichaelChapman18 must be a shit year

[1288Art]

Too much botex

[tothandrei]

HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!

[skompo]

I wish he could always host the show. Its just not the same without him.

[AcademyAwardsPerson]

@skompo He's in talks to host next year.

[thxsen11385241]

justin timberlake is like "now we're talkin'"

[captainjjb84]

God damn it! This guy needs! To host again.

[Volts48]

These people were deprived of actual humor and they stood and applauded since he was the funniest thing to come around that night.

[TheComedyfan123]

Best part of the whole night. By far.

[88narayandivya]

Best part of the whole ceremony, which was otherwise very boring and bland...

[Pixieonthe7]

Ok i see how BAD those two were... but Steve Martin is my favourite! Billy is absolutely is funny.. but we've seen him too much. Steve Martin is amazing!

[arsenal1032]

0:20 wow what an akward hug...

[URIS9449]

I want Billy Cristal Back hosting the Oscars again!!!!!!

[TiggahG]

@URIS9449 We all do!

[DAVIDInitiative]

Hey, Academy? Why don't you make it that Billy has to host the Oscars until he retires. Please?

[cblodg1]

The crowd reaction should be more than enough to show that Billy Crystal should be the host again.

[naraayan]

who ever made the decision for anne hathaway and james franco to host should be fired and never be allowed in any decision making ... ever

[shinningneverwhy]

the stage is really beautiful

[shinningneverwhy]

i have to say the stage is really gorgeous

[honeybee7700]

this was the best moment of the oscars. james and anne were terrible hosts. Bring back Billy!

[lucydrez]

Justin Timberlake is just like 'Yeah, that's right, Billy Crystal is the man.'

[stifler12333]

Anne Hathaway is way to happy xD Franco sucked, and Crystal saved the day xD

[tubesher]

the newbie's suck... let them watch the pros and learn before taking the stage next.

[Zaarin2007]

american television is so fake

[CoolerKing37]

@Zaarin2007 Does your country even have television?

[myryckyz]

One thumb up more for Billy's return !!!

[TMGin87]

The Academy should just let Crystal host the Oscars every night instead of going for these flavor-of-the-month duo-host actors/actresses.

[lovrero]

the legend

[darthmelkor2]

Do you folks remember 1992?

"Those eyes, those thighs... SURPRISE! It's the Crying Game"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Billy Crystal should be the host again....

[Trollian1]

I think they're cheering more for the fact that Anne left the stage, rather than seeing Billy Crystal.

[TylerGDaniels]

@Trollian1 there wouldve been fireworks if it was Franco leaving the stage

[ahfaxthis]

@Trollian1 now that was funny comment.

[justforlescomments]

Standing ovation.

Least the man deserved.

[Buzz0Killington]

Billy and Betty White for host in 2012.

[PaulGentleman]

I hope Billy will come back for host.

but something changed. It will be too long to sing 10 films' songs.

[Da666ManIsBak]

0:29... The guy with specs is like 'What's going on?'

[ChristMelee]

Anne is so HOT!

[Avatarare]

The magic was back in the ceremony when Billy Crystal entered the stage.

[carlyle101]

CHARLIE SHEEN FOR HOST!!!

[hateismine]

You know something's wrong when people are nostalgic for Billy Crystal.

[waitingformypopcorn]

Everyone WAKES up at :25.

[PaulineMichelle50]

The oscars should go all the way for next year...I say Billy, Sandra Bullock AND Kirk Douglas for hosts next year

[BrawlProCF]

thumbs up if you thought it said billy mays

[danbrown565]

fuck anne hathaway!

[Hemloch]

@danbrown565 fuck you shes the best jackass

[luckysprite7up]

DUUUUUDE i want more bob hope! classic!

[gonzasabbath]

They were grieving. It's a process.

(Anne & James, of course)

[RedShoes201]

PLEASE BILLY COME BACK! He must do another oscar show, just one last time!!! or everytime from now on. That is how it's done! it had to be him =D

[xwingclass]

the worst hosts in the history of the oscars. i was hoping he would finnish this.

[xwingclass]

the worst hosts in the history of the oscars.

[majafaja999]

"Who I am, WHO I AM, who am I, who am I is a question for the ages. That’s one we are all searching for, to find out who I am, who’s in there, who wants to come out and say, hey, I'm hungry. Who I am is too deep and prof-, almost, you gotta go in deep and pull out the thing like with the movie with the thing came out of the stomach and up the people on the fucking spaceship, may they rest in peace"

- Bring back Crystal !!!

[MachineintheSky]

@majafaja999 Gosh, I used to love that!!!! SO FUNNY

[ChristMelee]

Anne Hathaway is my dreamgirl, she is truly stunning

[liliputmace18]

BRING BILLY CRYSTAL BACK!!!!

[lonelygnome1]

I wish he would have stayed to finish hosting the show.

[2011Bolt]

Billy Crystal next!

[singingindark12]

possibly the funniest academy awards host I've ever seen.. he sings, he makes good joke about movies, he teases actors in gentle way... he parodies movies.. he is born to be an academy award host i think. :-)))

[KristianKronicles]

I think Billy Crystal should increase his hosting acts to at least an even 10.

[Marty0Mcfly]

Anne hathaway is hot.

[Troubleshoot3R]

And that James Franco and Anne Hathaway is how its done.

[bahraniama]

billy crystal 2012 pls

[CarpeDiemBaby7891]

He saved ceremony

[TheChicagoguy]

This guy is a legend better than those youngsters the sucked as co-hosts. We want Billy back

[0007Laranja0007]

Anne and Franco both fail as oscar hosts!

[shamanqueen92]

When I watched this, I was thinking, "can't he just keep hosting the rest of the show, PLEASE!!!!!"

[christopherhoughton1]

The audience is saying, "This is the guy we want!"

[abridgedfan107]

@christopherhoughton1 they were hoping that he could host the rest of the night! =)

[QUEENAbsoluGREATEST]

GREAT OSCAR MOMENT!! :) 

[mirasango]

Billy for 2012 Oscars please!

[Mrshoujo]

Wow, Billy Crystal looks his age and could use some hair restoration. In the Bob Hope clip, you can tell at one point they used a voice impersonator. Loses a little sparkle when you can tell.

[analbag1847]

0:28 Kevin Spacey!

And 0:30 Christopher Nolan!

[ChristMelee]

jeff ross for host next year!

[VINCENZODIGREGORI0]

Hey! and Roberto Benigni? :) look my channel italian!

[juini123]

Billy crystal needs to host the show next year!

[xNicoleSx]

billy for host again :D ♥

everyone stood up for him because they're missing him especially in that moment

we love you billy!

[durbaq]

Next year, take the seats out of the theatre because of the constant standing ovations.

[simongolab01]

what is billy crystals oscar theme? please?

[retrorocker]

His theme is "It Had To Be You", Harry Connick Jr.'s rendition of which was an integral part of Crystal's 1989 movie "...When Harry Met Sally".

[KashwanAhmed]

no one laughs anymore at the oscars =( actors are so boring....

[Andykiely]

This is where James Franco should have left and where Billy Crystal took over. Billy was brilliant

[Lolita1982]

I wonder why they didn`t show this clip in Finland??? Was it cut?

[SharpWalkers]

Craig Ferguson should do it next year.

[simongolab01]

what is the music they play everytime billy crystal appears on the oscars?

[criticascinefilas]

@simongolab01 I think that this music is from the movie "mister saturday night" (1992), but i'm not sure.

[jeffswim]

The bridge from "It Had to Be You." It was kind of the theme song from "When Harry Met Sally."

[egc573]

I saw that someone here said the telecast lasted 5 hours. Good Lord, am I glad I tuned in late!

This segment was refreshing to see, and Billy Crystal was marvelous, but is there any worse way to remind everybody of what they're missing? Hathaway and Franco were seriously lacking as hosts, and this only highlighted it. I propose a solution: bring Crystal back for GOOD, please.

[juini123]

Host in 2012!!

[Lolita1982]

Billy`s the best!! Miss his beard though... lol. He looks so hot with the beard... like in "Analyze That".... mmmmm.

[betonauta]

DRINK IT IN HUGH

[Morbiocomedy]

Funny video about Oscar speches called: Oscar Speeches 2011 on Morbiocomedy channel. Thanks!

[mistamistaladyisdead]

Billy said he would do it again if it was with Whoopi and Robin Williams...is the academy really going to be cocky!!!

[CAK11891]

It's sad when a host from 50 years ago does better in 30 seconds than the two now did in the whole 5 hours!

[zootds]

Bring back Bob Hope to host the Oscars!! Did somebody say Zombie outbreak!?

[Peacelover1212]

he should host the oscar...

[Wilcox3]

You Guys NEED To Upload Kirk Douglas' Appearance On The Oscars...PLEASE!!!!

[MHIoscar]

what the name of the music @ 13 sec... ??? i know is Billy Crystal theme.. whats is the name???

[EchoBoomer1987]

MIKE WIZOSKI!

[tutu1987]

@EchoBoomer1987 wazowsky

[Paperbagman555]

Sandra Bullock could be awesome - or Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law!!!

[cinemaker006]

Why didn't he host??? He's young enough!!!

[Zippedychick]

He should have been given a lot more time.

[Tylerd172]

Ricky Gervais for host 2012?

[bonvea]

he shouldve hosted.

[Ganonlink1991]

BRING BILLY BACK ALREADY!!

[jech1113]

manita arriba quien esta por sirpotasio

[ScarlettStreet]

legend

[Lumieremi]

Billy and Sandra Bullock for host

[Pheknaum]

@Lumieremi Hell no, Billy is the iconic (I was about to write Iconic Boy xD) and legendary Oscars host. Only Bob Hope could do it along with him.

[LadyInDaHouse88]

I want Billy Crystal back!!!

[banyan007]

Damn he's good

[skyler807]

The Oscar crowd were like: "Oh thank goodness Billy...stay please?" LMAO!!

Anne and Franco were kinda a little ok...

BUT Go with people with previous hosting experience PLS...hmmm maybe Jamie Foxx! He hosted a bunch of stuff, his Espy awards serenade "I want to be your tennis-ball" still cracks me up to this day...Or beg Billy Crystal to do it....

[tatia0105]

I believe everyone wished he could stay for the rest of the show and save the night from the epic fail and from the awful hosts.
