I loveeee when he says "and if you dont score the goal you still go home with Nicole" the way he looks at Tom is priceless. What a guy!

I'm just more than happy I grew up in the ultimate heyday talents of Billy Crystal during the 1980s and 90s as a teen. A comedy genius of the stand-up skit. One of those few major celebrities you've never heard anyone say a bad word on.

The great legendary Billy Crystal. What a talented guy this is.There will never be another Billy Crystal, that's for sure.

Crystal is so funny. So entertaining. Hilarious. Miss him. Amazing! Perfect. fantastic and classic,!😊

❤️Love Billy, he is the best!! I would never miss his opening at the OSCARS !!🤣😂

I'm so empress about this guy Not too many people can do that specifically when you know the whole world is watching you...if anyone see this guy give him my regards thank you

I LOVE THE OSCARS EACH YR.. a classy show.........but I love Billy Crystal even more...NO ONE can top him when it comes to Oscar monologues..........no one...I had the honor of working with him on Mr. Saturday Night and felt so lucky

I miss this era of the Oscars. I know it wasn’t perfect but the Oscars were still actually about celebrating movies

Ahh, no one hosted or will host the Oscars quite like Billy. His relationship and interaction with the audience (aka Hollywood) set him apart and showed his great, albeit irreverent, affection for the film business. It endeared him to everyone and set a trust base, assuring them that his riffs were all in good fun.

Yeah, it’s true. He was a great host

When Billy hosted the Oscars, it was a treat and one of the reasons there was at least one family member (namely Nanny) watched as well....well, at least his famous Oscar medley.

Billy crystal is so god damned amazing. He should host every show. He just gets it all around. Total obvious film buff and so ridiculously funny. What is wrong with the oscars?!?! They should ask him to host every year!!!!!

Octavio A There was no opening monologue at the Oscar show this past Spring. Because of “political correctness,” nobody apparently wanted to “rock the boat.” That was sad, because opening monologues like Billy’s are such an important part of that show. Don’t know what point you’re trying to make.

my favorite Oscar host ever! what an amazing talent to do this live on stage.I hope he will present the oscar in the future again.

Let's face it - Billy Crystal is a National Treasure. You wont find another who can do what he can do.

Best Host in Oscar history Period.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! NO ONE COMES CLOSE! Billy Crystal oscar host forever please!!!!!!!!

LOVE Billy!!! One of my all time favorite celebrities... love, love, love him!!

I swear I'll never get enough of Billy's corny opening numbers... cos he knows they're corny, he's hamming it up and he clearly get's how stupid it is to do a big song about all the nominees so he has fun with it. I mean come on, the man did a Brady Bunch parody, that's just awesome

Looking back from 2022 brilliant Billy Crystal

My fav. times watching Billy.

By far the best for this job.

Still my favorite host!

Amazing talent Billy

After watching Billy Crystal's intro, I feel this was the highlight of the entire Oscar evening.

As Billy writes in his magical memoir Still Foolin' 'Em, he was reluctant to host again after a three-year break. He finally agreed after Academy present Gil Cates sent him a package containing a prop horse's head with a note attached saying: "If you want to see the rest of the horse alive, do the fucking show."

Absolutely the best presenter ever.

Having a host is sorely missed. Billy is fantastic.

Billy, you're the best!

As the Golden Globes this year proved, gone are the days of Award Ceremonies like this. No more style. no more class. Sigh...oh Billy, come back!! Come back!

There is no one better... love you, Billy! Please one more time, soon!

"It's the year of independent film. Great performance new faces among the nominees, I mean, really new faces. Who are you people?" hahaha! lol

The song from 4 m 32 is my favourite Oscar moment of all time. I can't see a reference to The English Patient without singing this :)

Thanks OSCARS, for all these renew clips!!! Welldone! I'll be checking Memoriam, hope you done some of those. :)

This has to be the best Oscar host opening of all time. Incredible.

Oh! How I miss Billy on Oscars! He is one of a kind!

One of a kind. Never be another BILLY

I feel like on one end of the spectrum of award show hosts you have cynical comics like Ricky Gervais, and on the other side you have Billy Crystal. Funny, warm, talented and always respectful. A class act.

Nice to see the old good faces, and great movies back then.

The part about Jerry Maguire and tom winning was cause apparently Tom was the only likely Oscar win for Jerry Maguire as apparently they did not have faith in winning writing or picture or supporting since Ed norton win in Golden Globes, however Cuba Gooding jr won oscars so.

Lol at the English Patient song!

he always says he loves the band

The greatest "Emcee" the Academy Awards have ever had in it's long history. Would really love to see him return for one last hurrah. Should've called him up last month to do the host-less Oscars 2019. He has said he would've done it.
