Biggest Throwback
In his ninth hosting appearance, Billy Crystal mixed a little bit of the old with a little bit of the... older. There was a lot of what fans of his wanted and expected: the movie-magic introductory montage, the ''Oscar, Oscar'' song and dance, his reading of the celebrity minds. He didn't veer too far off script, making only one joke that made anyone squirm about the absence of an African-American to embrace in Beverly Hills after he watched The Help. But after last year's debacle, he was the comfort food many craved.
