“When Harry Met Sally” stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan will reunite at the Oscars for a tribute to the film’s director, Rob Reiner, sources tell us.
The duo previously appeared together last year during the 97th Academy Awards to present the Best Picture award to “Anora.”
Crystal, of course, previously hosted the Oscars nine times, and was called the greatest Oscars host ever by last year’s emcee, Conan O’Brien, who will return again on March 15.
“It’s great to be back because I used to work here,” Crystal said on last year’s broadcast when he appeared on stage with Ryan.
“When was the first time?” Ryan asked.
“Nine tuxedos ago,” Crystal shot back, adding that was also 35 years ago. “Let’s cut to the chase,” Ryan suggested with the Best Picture winner left to announce.
Details of their Reiner tribute are so far being kept under wraps, report The Post’s Sara Nathan and Page Six Hollywood.
Reiner was only nominated for an Oscar once, as a producer on “A Few Good Men.” His directing credits included further classics such as “Spinal Tap,” “Stand by Me” and “The Princess Bride.”
Reiner’s troubled son, Nick Reiner, has been accused of fatally stabbing the movie legend, 78, and his wife, Michele, 70, in a case that has shocked Hollywood and the world.
The famous couple had allegedly attended O’Brien’s holiday party just hours before the slayings.
There has been speculation over how the Oscars would handle a tribute, and whether it might just include Reiner in its annual in memoriam segment.
Reps for the awards, as well as Crystal and Ryan, did not get back to us.
At the Golden Globes, host Nikki Glaser’s final moment of the show included a touching nod to Reiner when she wore a “Spinal Tap” hat.
