Completely validating my theory that Brett Ratner and Eddie Murphy were chosen to put together the Oscars because someone was drunk and/or high at 2AM and needed a way to laugh and feel rich at the same time, Eddie has also quit hosting the Oscars in a press release straight from the AMPAS right after Brett was fired/given the boot, whichever version of the story you want to believe.
Eddie Murphy also quit the Oscars!
