Oscars Trailer 2012: Billy Crystal Sought By Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel (VIDEO)

We knew he was in a bind, but we had no idea Brian Grazer needed a reputable Oscar host this badly.

This first trailer for the 2012 Academy Awards spoofs on the scandal-driven switch that saw Grazer swoop in to save the Oscars after original producer Brett Ratner left the show after it was reported that he made a gay slur at a screening of his film "Tower Heist." A day after Ratner left his hand-chosen host, "Heist" star Eddie Murphy, bowed out as well, leading Ratner to tap beloved veteran host Billy Crystal for another go-round at the Kodak Theater.

Megan Fox and Josh Duhamel feature in this quick clip, which sees them venture around the world in search of The Host. Look for a few surprise cameos while adventuring with the ridiculously good looking duo.

I hope Billy Crystal doesn't embarrass himself and ruin the Oscars this year.

Hmmm. I'm not very good at these "guess who" games, but I'll give it a go. Is it Michael Clarke Duncan?

I thought it was Jane Alexander. But then again, Whenever I see a picture of Marcus Bachmann I think it is Meryl Streep playing Marcus Bachmann in "The Overwrought-Iron Butterfly."

It's nice to see he embraced his "old woman" persona he established after the plastic surgery healed.

Why does HP ask "guess who?" when the person's face is clearly visible?

LOVED the cameos by Robin Williams and Vinnie Jones. That definitely made the clip a whole lot better!
