    8 minutes of Billy Crystal are 1,000,000 times better than 3 hours of Franco and Hathaway

    Billy Crystal is the type of person where you sit back and say "What a guy"

    0:49 Awh look at Michael Clarke Duncan best smile ever. Sad still that he died, I still think about him portraying John Coffey. "Yes sir boss, like the drink, only not spelt the same.

    man he 's got great diction... billy crystal has always been an actor of words, carring on very long dialogues. that's awesome!
  • @maziebunny2
    this was, bar none, the best Oscar night ever especially where 1999 was a stellar year for film. Billy Crystal was wonderful...especially in the opening montage.
  • @MetalGearMalta
    Amazing, Billy Crystal is a legend. Hosting is no easy, he has to memorise all the jokes and the all the songs for one night of 3 hours.
