WHY, I'D CUT OFF MY RIGHT ARM TO GET THAT GIG! Next year's Academy Awards will be hosted by Anne Hathaway and James Franco. If it's like recent years, you'll see a lot of them in the first half-hour and then they'll disappear because the show has fallen hopelessly behind schedule. I'm sure they'll both be charming, but this doesn't much matter.

I am not loving this idea. Franco has never shown a bit of personality when he is being himself, and presumably he will be up for Best Actor. I find that whole idea akward.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of AH, but she should be paired with Hugh Jackman again, or (of course) NPH. I just think this is a strange idea.
Given the personalities assigned the task of hosting the next Academy Awards show, I have two words that will pump up interest in the proceedings,
ReplyDelete"full frontal"
I expect there will be a joke from Hathaway along the lines of "I thought about hosting nude, but that didn't seem to do a whole lot for my last movie." (Or there may be an Austin Powers-esque pre-taped bit with naughty bits strategically hidden.)
ReplyDeleteIs this a performance piece for Franco? Is he getting grad school credit for this?
ReplyDeleteI second everything LB said.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping he doesn't fall asleep during the show like he did during that one class that was gloriously captured on a cell phone camera.
ReplyDeleteHow is this any different than having no host at all? I mean, I like both those actors, but I'm hard-pressed to identify what they bring to the show.
