Now that Murphy has withdrawn, the conversation will obviously turn to who should host Hollywood’s biggest night instead. Let’s turn to the intertubes for ideas, shall we?

Brett Ratner has resigned as a producer of this year's Academy Awards show for an anti-gay remark he made over the weekend, the movie director said Tuesday in an open letter to his colleagues.
