Anne Hathaway and James Franco Will Co-Host the Oscars

So, that’s happening. Hathaway was great a couple of years back, in her song and dance number with Hugh Jackman. James Franco is pretty much an awesome guy all around, and it might be doubly interesting if he’s also nominated in the Best Actor category for 127 Hours. I might also note that, during the more unbearable moments of Burlesque, I sneaked into Love & Other Drugs and caught a few of the more bearable moments of that, most of which involved Hathaway nude. What? Because I’m a guy who feigns the occasional man crush, I can’t enjoy watching Anne Hathaway nude?

I dunno what else to say about this: They’re charming. They’re attractive. She can sing. He’s funny. Let the initial wave of excitement begin! At least until the second-guessing takes over, which will ultimately give way to overly-critical morning-after reviews and a millions of people who care enough to leave comments on Oscar posts professing not to care about the Oscars.

Is that really Anne Hathaway in that picture? If so, that's the least Ann Hathaway has ever looked like Anne Hathaway.

I think I'm skipping straight to the second-guessing with a dash of the inevitably ZZZZZZZZZZ sentiment.

As they used to say on O&A: "It's not about YOU, douchebag."

In short, they're cute and charming and whatever. They're not the reason anyone is tuning into the Oscars. Fact is you could put the Masturbating Bear out there for 3 hours (until little dust specks are all that's coming out) and it still won't matter.

Cut the crap. Give the winners ample time to shine in their moment. Is that so damn simple?

Yea that header pic oddly looks more like Alison Brie.

If only she was hosting...

This pairing seems random and more than a bit desperate ("The Oscars are relevant to younger viewers!!!"). I can't wait until Hollywood wakes up and realizes that Anne Hathaway isn't the answer to anything, let alone everything.

It's kind of a shame Leslie Nielsen never got to do it.

I just hope Hathaway gave back that stolen jewelry she got from her grifter now imprisoned ex-boyfriend. Poor Franco, I guess when your claim to fame is playing the son of the green goblin you take any kind of work that comes your way.

well that's... weird.

Hmm. I'm definitely that person who posts on Oscar posts about not caring about the Oscars. *sigh*

The truth is I want to care, but ultimately they are stupid. And...I'm sorry but Anne Hathaway and James Franco? HUH?

I mean I baffled by that decision. Why do we think these two will make for good hosts? What about Tina Fey? What about Betty White? I like James Franco just as much as the next guy but...

...?

Huh. OK, then.

BRING BACK BILLY CRYSTAL.

Yeah I said it. Oh fuck off.

Am I really the only one that actively loathes these two?

Posted by: Greg! at November 29, 2010 10:04 PM

@Greg!

Yes.
-----------------

I love the shit out of the both of them yet I never gave a shit about the Oscars. My soul is torn!

Not really.
