It's great to see new talent being recognized, but each year's Oscar nominations are always filled with surprises and snubs, and the 84th Annual Academy Awards were no different.
Jonah Hill was the first surprise of the morning, as he nabbed a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Moneyball. I mean, this is the guy who drew dongs in Superbad, and that wasn't that long ago. Good for him.
Rooney Mara was another surprise, nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Billy Crysal has hosted the Oscars 8 times in the past and you know what they say, 9th times the charm.

With miserable suggestions like having stuffed puppets host the Academy Awards, we might as well get Kris Humphries to host the show. Amiright?!

Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President, Tom Sherak, announced that Murphy has withdrawn his role as host. And apparently, it's because of Ratner's resignation. Ratner is the director behind Tower Heist, which Eddie Murphy stars in and is currently in theaters.
"I appreciate how Eddie feels about losing his creative partner, Brett Ratner, and we all wish him well," said Sherak.
Murphy commented:
