Was Billy Crystal being rude?

Roger Ebert’s “Answer Man” column this week tackles the burning post-Oscar question: Was Billy Crystal being gracious or rude with his onscreen comment about Bill Murray losing Best Actor? (Specifically, it was his “Don’t go Bill… We love you!” bit.) Ebert took it as a friendly joke, but a lot of other folks seemed to think it was mean-spirited and catty. As I didn’t actually watch the show myself, I have no idea what the context was. What did you guys think?
