That was the last time that the multi talented and universally loved Billy Crystal, comedian, actor, singer, dancer and host, hosted the Oscars. Bring him back one more time to make it 10 at least. He was the best host by far. Don't be stupid Academy. Bring him back and give him an honorary Oscar.
I forgot how great Crystal was as a host. No nasty politics, no woke idiocy. Just a tribute to the talent from a man who has talent. Gracious and in good fun. Those were the days.
I don't think the Academy wants anymore people doing blackface at the awards show. They used to be cool with it but I think they learned their lesson. It's 2022.
There has not been anyone like Billy hosting the Oscars. Sure there were comedians who were good but no one can sing, dance, impersonate, and make you laugh like Billy, just an all around entertainer perfectly suited for the Oscar spoofs.
Just such an amazing host, no insults, just a fun, fun night for the stars and for the people watching at home. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Billy Crystal.
I've always enjoyed it when Billy Chrystal hosted the Oscars. I also was thoroughly enthralled reading his autobiography titled 700 Sundays. I laughed, I cried, and years later read it a second time. I try to stay current with Hollywood movies, Netflix, and TH-cam, but from time to time I like to revisit the past with clips like these.
Nominated movies in 2012 per Billy's song: 1- The Artist 2- War Horse 3- Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close 4- Moneyball 5- Hugo 6- The Tree of Life 7- The Descendants 8- Midnight in Paris 9- The Help
I'll add the songs he's doing! :D 1- "I Won't Dance" 2- "Mister Ed" Theme Song 3- "Thanks for the Memory" 4- "The Show" 5- "That's Amore" 6- "Alfie" 7- "Hawaiian War Chant" 8- "The Last Time I Saw Paris" 9- "The Birth of the Blues"
Oscars if your listening, in my opinion, your board should consider secretly plan and present Billy Crystal an Oscar award too right after the best picture award when he next host the show for the 10th time.
I really miss Billy Crystal as a host. I miss his songs, his entrances, his wit. The Oscars are kind of a joke now. It doesn't have the same personality now as it did back then.
Mr Crystal is so far beyond iconic. He is beloved and I’m part of that fan club!!! An honor. It always looks like he’s enjoying his monologue as much as we are. I love it!
Sigh...why, oh why, oh WHY can't they have award shows like THIS anymore?!?! Good natured teasing, no seriousness...and NO POLITICS!!! BILLY COME BAAAAAAACK!!
From what I read, Seth got a lot of heat over the pre-taped "We Saw Your Boobs" musical number (which mentioned Jennifer Lawrence, one year before we would see hers...and a whole lot more!), which is why it won't be on here anytime soon.
I know but critics have it out for Seth MacFarlane. They for some reason don't think his commentary can be self-referencing or that he could have done that number in commentary
We needed him this year along with the 4 categories that are being awarded during the commercials. Stop messing with the Oscars. And don't you dare attribute these changes to hire ratings if Black Panther delivers you more viewers.

Give him back to SAVE the Awards after this year's disaster!
After the trainwreck that was this year's show.... I'd love to see Billy hosts the Oscars one more time.
We need Billy Crystal hosting the Oscars again. He's true talent and made the Oscars fun to watch.

Billy Crystal will always be Best oscars host
BRING BILLY CRYSTAL BACK. The world needs some lightness asap.
Give him an Honorary Oscar!
Billy is a true legend! How could you not love him?????????
I could watch his monologues all day. What a legend!
I miss your comments.
.come back
I'm watching him all day. He's just the best

Emilio Tacconelli I totally agree and he is so likeable!
The audience should be giving Billy Crystal a standing ovation before his performance and after his dialogue. What a master of his craft!
the man, the legend, Billy Crystal
BILLY COME BAAAAAAACK!!
The Best!
"The Jazzman". Can you dig that?
Best Oscar host
Simple, without flashy dance groups, BG effects.
Yet his musical numbers are still classy
Billy Crystal on a rough night is still better than the other hosts in the past few years.
Ditto
Now that you mentioned it his jokes were outdated audience didn’t get most of it
The Past SEVERAL Years!
@@Annarbormich tou are right. and i would prefer Steve Martin
@@Annarbormich humor was not politically correct....zzzzz......upset the "intelligent" next generation.
I'm not sure after all the years hosting why Billy isn't just named the oscar pope. He hasn't ever lost a beat.
He’s a bloody genius. Have they given him an Oscar for being brilliant.
Just such an amazing host, no insults, just a fun, fun night for the stars and for the people watching at home. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Billy Crystal.
No insults...except for the fat jokes at Jonah Hill's expense
Billy Crystal and Steve Martin should alternate hosting the Oscars.
No, Just Billy.
❤️I never wanted to miss the opening of the OSCARS with Billy, he is the best😂🤣❤️
Bring back Billy. This year’s (2022) Oscars was a disaster. Only he could fix things. Class act.
After Chris Rock and Will Smith fiasco this is refreshing to rewatch.
A class act and no mistake
Agree! Academy should ban Jada Pinkett Smith, too!
Do you mean the Will Smith fiasco?
@@louisefournier146 -yes. The Will and jaded Jada mess!
Yeah

Who won that year
@@christinecummings1126 The Artist... sadly.
Should have been tree of life
José Guzmán Sadly? The Artist is great.
How on earth can he remember all that. In a word - outstanding.
Billy Crystal needs to host next year. Guys I really hope you make that happen because I love him he hilarious and really entertaining. :)
He might be the only thing that could save this show!
He hits every notes perfectly. Wow
Remember when Billy Crystal was the only sensible choice to host the Oscars?
Still is!
He Still Is !!
What do you mean 'was'
Gervais smashes him. His PC in jokey humour has no place anymore.
Yesss
BILLY CRYSTAL WILL BE REMEMBER LIKE BOB HOPE THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!
We need Billy to live forever
A true performer
I love this!! He even made a song...like im watching a disney scene!! 😍😍
We need him to host at LEAST one more time!! 😭
billy is the best - he is the one!
He should do one more hosting, for a perfect 10 out of 10.
Its what the People want Academy! So SHUT UP & DO IT!!!!
A TRUE LEGEND!!!
Bring Billy back to the oscars
The One and Only! Mr. Billy Billy Billy
Make it "10" time for Billy crystal...in 2020🤞🤞
They stopped doing it since last year hostless.
@@arthurdsouza10 Unfortunately they're bringing back a host this year- Jimmy Kimmell....again.
Respect Billy Crystal
I genuinely hope he gets to come back every now and then. He's old-fashioned, sure, but there's nothing intrinsically wrong with that.
There is no other like him for Oscar night...
This was so good!
I'd love him to do it again he's really good at it
A great talent ... a truly great talent
i just love him
Billy Crystal is the Oscar's host full stop.
He should be doing it this year 2023 Emmy awards or Academy awards. 👍
Wish he would do 2019 Oscar so funny
Amazing billy
Love when he sings
The one and only Billy Cristal.
Oscars if your listening, in my opinion, your board should consider secretly plan and present Billy Crystal an Oscar award too right after the best picture award when he next host the show for the 10th time.
Bring back Billy.❤️
Just watched the Kennedy Center Awards show honoring Billy what a class act
I really miss Billy Crystal as a host. I miss his songs, his entrances, his wit. The Oscars are kind of a joke now. It doesn't have the same personality now as it did back then.
It IS a joke now, a this year's ratings will tell you.
Nowadays they cant even give the right award to the right nominee
0:15 GLENN CLOSE 😍😍😍 I hope she wins in 2019!!!!!!!
I love Billy Crystal. He IS the OG Host of the Oscars.
Whooping Goldberg & Billy Crystal Legends 🙏🏿
The beat Oscar host of our time.
Mr Crystal is so far beyond iconic. He is beloved and I’m part of that fan club!!! An honor. It always looks like he’s enjoying his monologue as much as we are. I love it!
close your eyes and it’s mike wazowski hosting the oscars..
Bring him back please!!
Jim carry should host oscar once
Only if he talks out of his ass the whole time.
Aniket Kedare thats true. Has he not?
Not a good idea.
Decker vs Dracula should have gotten a write-in Oscar. The academy is getting stingier and stingier with Oscar.
Please host the Oscar for forever
THE ENTERTAINER!
Wow he bombed hard that year
Damn he must have been at least 108 here
he looks the same from 1985
The Oscars blow now.
I would love to see billy and Ellen co-host 90th Oscars
Sigh...me too, buddy. Me too.
I would love to see billy and Ellen co-host 90s Oscars
Leave out Ellen and I'm there
Bring back billy
2018 oscars pleaseeeee
Too late, it's Crybaby Kimmel AGAIN!!
OMG...i didn't get one single Best Picture Nominees from this song. :(
Listening to Billy Crystal's audiobook Still Foolin' Em. He actually went to film school with Martin Scorsese.
The crystals
The new name of the oscars
The Oscars should be renamed to the Billies.
Wow!! 9th time ✨
please 2021 Oscar host.., give it to Billy..
Wish AMPAS would release the opening medleys WITH SUBTITLES. Can anyone give a hand on those?
LET HIM HOST AGAIN. BC *is* The Academy Awards.
Billy Crystal and Whoopy G. Legends
if you lose tonight, I think that you should know.. they're serving cupcakes after the show.
LOL! Love that part
And he absolutely hated it 😄😄😄😄😄
Sigh...why, oh why, oh WHY can't they have award shows like THIS anymore?!?! Good natured teasing, no seriousness...and NO POLITICS!!! BILLY COME BAAAAAAACK!!
What if Billy Crystal and Hugh Jackman hosted the Oacars? That would be amazing!!! ❤️
That would mean less Billy.... So NO!!!
Billy Crystal would put Hugh Jackman in the shadows!
Still waiting for them to upload Seth MacFarlane's monologue! Much funnier than people give him credit for.
From what I read, Seth got a lot of heat over the pre-taped "We Saw Your Boobs" musical number (which mentioned Jennifer Lawrence, one year before we would see hers...and a whole lot more!), which is why it won't be on here anytime soon.
uh no, he sucked
I agree!!
I've been able to see most of the opening monologues, except Seth's!!
I know but critics have it out for Seth MacFarlane. They for some reason don't think his commentary can be self-referencing or that he could have done that number in commentary
AFTER Billy.... He SUCKS!!
We needed him this year along with the 4 categories that are being awarded during the commercials. Stop messing with the Oscars. And don't you dare attribute these changes to hire ratings if Black Panther delivers you more viewers.
2012 I graduated it High School
5:29 Give him the same beating as Billy Batts gets in Henrys club.
I miss hosts.
Poor Jonah
I think I wanna host the oscars but where do you start?
monsters inc all I see is mike singing
I was waiting for him to lock his car
9 times Oscars host everybody, Billy Crystal. I'm waiting for the tenth.
❤😂❤😂❤
At 2:22 Dujardin is very cute
please let him host😆
Wow! How come that did not received a standing ovation?
Because of the SNOBS in the audience!! Idiots!!
why doesn't he do it anymore, did he do any more after this
Does he age?
Like a fine wine.
Is this the only time he wore tails?! 👁👁
Was he ordained a cardinal that year? What a tux!
