Eddie Murphy (Getty Images) Eddie Murphy already has an impressive resume, and he might be adding Oscar host to it come February. Deadline reports the comedian is in preliminary talks to man the mic for the year's biggest night in movies. Apparently Oscar producer and movie director Bret Ratner will nominate the actor in front of members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Tuesday. A source says Murphy is "showing interest" in the gig, and would blow be able to use his charm and comedy background to charm the crowd and those watching at home.
“Nobody knows movies better or is a bigger cinephile than Eddie. Not Brett. Not even Quentin Tarantino. Eddie can quote scenes from every single movie word for word,” the source said. “He can bring all that experience to hosting. Plus he has Saturday Night Live experience before a live crowd. And worldwide the biggest crossover comedians are Will Smith and Eddie Murphy.”
