(RTTNews) - Eddie Murphy has been pegged to host the 2012 Academy Awards; and, while no announcement has been made, sources close to the event say he is currently the top choice.
A decision is anticipated for later this week as show producers Don Mischer and Brett Ratner are set to meet with Academy of Motion Pictures President Tom Sherak. The awards ceremony takes place in February.
Other reports have indicated that the show's producers are eager to switch the ceremony's format back to a one comedian host. Recent shows featuring co-hosts (James Franco/Anne Hathaway and Steve Martin/Alec Baldwin) have not gone off well.
In the meantime, Murphy has two films set for release: the Ratner-directed "Tower Heist" (due in early November); and, "A Thousand Words" (due in January).
