No hard feelings from Brett Ratner. On Sunday, the former Oscars producer tweeted about this year's ceremony, wishing his successor Brian Grazer good luck.

"Good luck @BrianGrazer and Don Misher!! I'm so excited for u! I know its [sic] going to be the biggest Oscars yet!!"

Back in November, Ratner stepped down as producer after uttering a homosexual slur about rehearsals.

"Being asked to help put on the Oscar show was the proudest moment of my career. But as painful as this may be for me, it would be worse if my association with the show were to be a distraction from the Academy and the high ideals it represents," said the "Tower Heist" director at the time.

Eddie Murphy, who Ratner had chosen to host this year's awards, stepped down as well, prompting Grazer and Billy Crystal to take over producer and hosting duties.

Perhaps that's the reason the Oscar show was flat even with Billy Crystal hosting.

Even gay people should not have been upset about his remark. He didn't mean it to slam gay people.
