The Hollywood Reporter released a statement from Ratner saying that he is quitting as producer of the Academy Awards:
"I called Tom Sherak this morning and resigned as a producer of the 84th Academy Awards telecast. Being asked to help put on the Oscar show was the proudest moment of my career.

We've known for a long time that gays and Jews run Hollywood, but it looks like one trumped the other today.
Do you think he was given an ultimatum: to resign or get fired? What's your Instinct?
