Members DRW50 Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 Get ready for all the talk of out of control PC liberal Hollywood. Director/producer Brett Ratner is out as Oscar producer after tacky comments about his sex life as well as an anti-gay comment. No word if Eddie Murphy will still be on as Oscar host. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-1109-oscar-ratner-20111109,0,7220434.story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Roman Posted November 10, 2011 Members Share Posted November 10, 2011 I would not have done that if I were Eddie. Bad mistake, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 10, 2011 I think it would have hurt him professionally if he had stayed, since he seems to work with Ratner. They also may have delved more into his comments about gays, which were very notorious. Eddie's OK, but he often seems to be laughing at his own jokes.

Members Roman Posted November 10, 2011 Members Share Posted November 10, 2011 Well, hell, Eddie's been doing that for years. Ratner stuck his leg down his throat. I may see friendship by also stepping aside, but I just hope that many will not put Eddie in the same boat as Ratner. That since he also stepped aside, he must agree with Ratner's vile statements.

Members DRW50 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 10, 2011 I think most people will just see it as professional courtesy. Most likely a lot of the public who follow this will end up seeing Ratner as a martyr anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
