Oscars 2011 / Anne Hathaway and James Franco Host

[JadeLexus1996]

You idiots, it's only counting the time when she's talking about the celebrities. >.<

@bigbangclang @riseuprebellion

[bigbangclang]

you mean celebs in 1 minute 7 seconds right?

[riseuprebellion]

CELEBS IN 60 SECONDS, MORE LIKE 1:07 !!

[startrekmaniac]

Tom Hooper is Directing Les Miserables!

[merah599]

هههههههههههههههههههههه مجانيين

[fmishaan1]

@merah599 hada XD

[Cokain3]

it was so nasty -.-!

[mconstanta]

from the first highlighted bit i saw "Blame Hugh Jackman for making us believe that all good actors are good hosts" oh Hugh how much i love u;p

[GreatJeca]

It wasn't so bad...

[avengedsevenfull]

i like how no one gives two shits about the Oscars, but as soon the hosts do something bad its like first priority. Personally they did an excellent job, people need to chill the fuck out without the hosts I would've found it hard to stay awake.

[Pennyinmouth]

only above middle class white people care about this shit...

[happykiddo1234]

THIS IS A LIE! IT WAS NOT IN 60 SECONDS, IT WAS IN 67 SECONDS!

[GeniusDolphin]

The 37.6 million viewers not just considered with the host, it's also considered the nominee were interested or not, the decoration and presenters, the speech when winning the oscar and others many many condition! Otherwise, Anne was fabulous, especially singing and the viewers were not low, better then 80th and 81th oscars!

[jackdtroughton]

Remember, you don't know Anne Hathaway or James Franco, pay attention to your local community.

[marianaph17]

They were great hosts! i liked it!! what I didn't like was Melissa Leo's F bomb come on it's the Oscars and being Modern doesn't mean cursing

[tacowaffleplop344]

This was more than 60 seconds...

[budjooooalls]

I blame anne

[StokaNeotesana]

james was like a pro... anne overdid it as she always does... thats why she'll never get an oscar

[chevypillow247]

Brian and Stewie griffin should host he next oscars

[NataliaWeronikaD]

65 seconds.

[abeille344]

I've just seen MTV Awards and Lady Gaga as a drag achieve where Franco failed. First, she keeps her character all the show. She was Joe and imitation was good enough to convience people. She was comic, lines were appropriate.

[moccamex]

I just know, that when I win my Oscar, the hosts better keep me wide awake so I can hear when I can get my award

[moccamex]

I feel the Oscars should be a bit more fun like they were this year, not all stuffy with hosts that have rods shot up their asses, moving around like fucking puppets, I feel the energy Anne brought to the Oscars with her youth was very rejuvenating and James....well James could've done better, but he's charming enough so wtf ever but that's just my opinion, this was the first Oscar ceremony I stayed up for, through commercials, and into the bitter end!

[AngelWitch93]

that is stupid! they were the best hosts ever!

[abeille344]

@AngelWitch93 During the Oscars, I was on Twitter and I was the only one in my crowd to defend James Franco. I didn't know this actor except Spider Man because I'm not gay, I don't smoke weeds and I'm not young people who did stupid things. (In 127 Hours nobody knew where the guy was) But, when I saw him as a drag, I didn't laugh. I was suprised. What's the joke ? I didn't know (I made a recent research) that he was saying : Maybe I'm just gay,( or maybe just stupid).

[abeille344]

Some people think he was stoned, probably because his only big success in box office as a lead actor (co-starring Seth Rogen) is Pineapple Express. He played a stupid dope dealer, so stoned that it was difficult to him to count until three.

[abeille344]

FRANCO: Me in a drag is not funny. If he consider it's not funny, why he did that two times before the Oscars ? One time, in a front of a magazine (you can see somewhere on the net), and second time during Sundance Festival last year. He had a blonde wig and performed with a drag queen.

[Sophee1415]

james franco is amazing, i hate that everybody was saying he was stoned. Both presenters had a script to read and a way to act so why were people slating them for their performance?

[abeille344]

@Sophee1415 They tried something new. They thought it could be a great idea to be on Twitter. You know, they wanted to be fashioned, but people tweets a lot of studipities during this show. I remembered, I was on Twitter during this show and I received retweets who's saying that he seemed stoned. Twitter is a social media, and it's like our society, you know, you can find the best and the worst.

[abeille344]

PLAYBOY: Some might question how seriously you took co-hosting the Oscars show ?

FRANCO: When they asked me to do it, I laughed and said, “How am I going to get out of this? They knew I could rehearse only on weekends because of school, but how much do you have to rehearse? They told me they knew I wasn’t Chris Rock and that they had designed the show around me.

PLAYBOY: How did it go so wrong?

FRANCO: It’s hard to talk about because it’s like assigning blame—not a fun thing to do.

[LittleRe012]

James Franco is hot!!

[kikihappy54]

By 7 seconds!

[theMonstertrailer]

This video was more than 60 seconds.

[emilevatricia12345]

Seriously, I love anne hathaway but James Franco probably would've done better had he been alone or something because she was overly-energetic she seemed to be trying wayyyy too hard and so James just seemed like he didn't care next to her but I think had he been alone he would've done much better!

[nckey42]

Billy Crystal was the best Oscar host by far... He was hast a natural at it.. Also he's s comedian.. I feel good comedians make the best hosts... They are naturally funny, they have been in front of audiences and can read them well, and they know how to deliver jokes...

[poofyalmond]

i wish Anne Hathaway would go away... forever.

[THISandTHISandTHAT]

James doesn't even smoke weed or smoke in general. He has stressed that a million times in numerous interviews. He did mention that he never sleeps and that he's grumpy because of it. His own brother even mentioned his strange sleeping habits, like how he never goes to bed. Stop assuming everyone does drugs just because they are laid back or because YOU are a druggy and misery loves company.

[abeille344]

@THISandTHISandTHAT You're probably right ! But, Oscars is a big show, 40 millions people regarding. For people like me who didn't really know James Franco except Spider man, he scrap an occasion to have a large audience (dress as Marlyn Monroe was a stupid idea). And that's probably why they changed the screenplay of The Rise Of Planet of the Apes. And if he has problem with sleeping (New York Times said he's the man who never sleep), that's his reponsability to find a solution.

[THISandTHISandTHAT]

@abeille344 I don't think he gave a damn. I didn't either, which is why I didn't watch it. James is into school and acting and directing. He does what he wants, clearly not for money or fame since he already has that. He had that "I don't give a fuck" look written all over his face and I applaud him for that. The Oscars is not that important to everyone. People are acting like he's some sort of important political figure who is obligated to give the people what they want. Get over it! LOL.

[abeille344]

@THISandTHISandTHAT Oscars, not important ? He was very happy to host the Oscars, don't you remember ? Look Jimmy Kimrmel when he announced it ! If he's in school now, good for him, but he wanted to be an actor and was very proud of his performance in 127 Hours. But in fact, most of his movies were flop. His quote is low because something missing with this actor. And he's always doing or saying stupidities. Teaching movies at university doesn't mean he's intelligent, he's actor since 12 years.

[THISandTHISandTHAT]

@abeille344 He obviously wasn't as happy as you thought he was going to be, now was he?

I never said he was "intelligent", that's your own word. I said that he seems to care more about college than anything, even when he has money and popularity. Just goes to show you, that he obviously doesn't care about the Oscars. Accept it, he didn't give a flip. A LOT of people didn't care man. Times are changing. I think you're probably old and stubborn and stuck in the past. Not trying to be mean either.

[abeille344]

@THISandTHISandTHAT Your arguments are poor. I never insult you. If you want to discuss like this, our discussion stops here.

[THISandTHISandTHAT]

@abeille344 And my goal was not to insult you. My argument is the truth. People just didn't care about the Oscars the way they used to (even if they sat through it). Not saying this a good thing or bad thing, it's just that things are different now. Let's be cliche about this and blame it on the economy? I don't care either way and neither did Franco.

[abeille344]

@THISandTHISandTHATWhen Franco took the job, he seemed excited to do so, saying it was a no-risk proposition, but as he explains to Playboy last issue, he knew as the show approached that it probably wasn't going to be such a hit. I said to the producer, 'I don't know why you hired me.'"Chief amongst Franco's complaints was the bit in which he came out dressed like a very unflattering Marilyn Monroe, a scene in which he was clearly unhappy to participate.

[abeille344]

@THISandTHISandTHAT ''You'll come out as Marilyn Monroe. It'll be funny.' Me in drag is not funny," Franco continues. "Me in drag as Cher trying to sing like her is a thing. That didn't happen, so then I just didn't want to argue anymore. I was going with their program; I wanted to do the material they gave me, not be one of the many cooks doing the writing."

[THISandTHISandTHAT]

@abeille344 Are you trying to validate my point further? I don't get it. "Me in drag is not funny." I think that sums up everything. He saw what a bunch of idiots he was dealing with and said 'fuck it, I'm not eve going to try.' What's the purpose of the long quote my friend? Lol!

[abeille344]

@THISandTHISandTHAT You don't understand ! The idiot is him ! Who's gonna force you to do something that you don't you don't want to do ? And why did he accept ? He didn't have time. He was in school. When you do two things or more in a same time, that's what happened.

[THISandTHISandTHAT]

@abeille344 Isn't this what I've been saying all along!? He had too many things to focus on, but in the end, as you can see, school was more important, hence the reason why his hosting was a flop. What more do you need to see to understand that James chose education over some Oscar bullshit? Sure, he was there, but his mind was elsewhere and I'm so glad he took school more serious than that pretentious bullshit. This conversation is going in a circle. We're repeating ourselves man. Get over it.

[abeille344]

@THISandTHISandTHAT I don't think his hosting is a flop. It's just him as a drag the error.

[THISandTHISandTHAT]

@abeille344 I think it's safe to say that we're agreeing on SOMETHING finally. Not to be mean or anything, but I think this conversation is kinda pointless, so yeah. I'm done.

[abeille344]

@THISandTHISandTHAT Nothing against your opinion, you know. I just give my opinion about a stupid thing that James Franco did on at the Oscars. He talked about it recently in a magazine. Now, I have more information on this actor and he's not interesting for me. His image is associated with a confused way of life that I don't have. That's what I tried to explain. In Canada, critics said about Apes, he plays without conviction.: hard to believe he can play an intelligent straight scientist.

[THISandTHISandTHAT]

@abeille344 "You've been trolled

you've been trolled

you should probably just fold

when the only winning move is not to play!

and yet you keep on trying, mindlessly replying,

you've been trolled, you've been trolled, have a nice day!" :D

[abeille344]

@THISandTHISandTHAT Goodbye !

[peroestoesimposible]

Anne Hathaway change into at least 8 different designer dresses trying to look great.

James did it with just 1 dress. He looked stunning and hot as hell in pink.

jealous much Anne?

[itisiCarlosdDwarf]

James Franco could have done a decent job on his own. He is funny, has laid-back nature, has fun making fun of himself, looks good in gucci, he looks good in drag, he even looked good with that annoying girl next to him.

James Franco deserves an award for putting up with AH (she must drop the America’s sweetheart BS).

[donniefan4life]

@itisiCarlosdDwarf lmfaooo. true.

james 4 president.

[partygirl209]

Jame Franco worked that dress!!

[pocahontas777777]

Anne did a great, awesome job, the Franco guy, not so good. If people did not watch it was not because the host but the movies and winners.

[MrFizzlewhizzle]

@chu6466 really i thought they were just two awkward actors trying to be funny at an Oscar ceremony with a horrible writer and a stoned James Franco who didn't want to be there at all!

[nickjjismyhusband]

stop hating on james and anne, let me see YOU get up there and host, we'll see how you do, THEN you can judge.

[icak9]

@nickjjismyhusband but then, we aren't getting paid loads of money to be entertaining. I mean really, when i hire a IT person to fix a bug on my computer and they totally fuck up the job should i tell myself, "you shouldn't critique this guy's work. after all, would you have been able do it yourself"?

[analyticannoyance]

@nickjjismyhusband That is the worst logic ever. They are professionals, that is their job. In the same way that you should excel and be the very best at what you do, they SHOULD be very good at what they are doing. I didn't see it, but ratings don't lie, people didn't like it which means they didn't do it well.

[nickjjismyhusband]

@analyticannoyance i just think people a sooo picky. its annoying.

[Eivyll]

@analyticannoyance

Or, possibly, the writers and the other people in charge of conceiving the gags and flow of the show didn't do it well, and it was the hosts' bad luck that they were inexperienced first-timers in the hosting world. They are professional film actors, after all, not professional Masters of Ceremony.

[BobyJooba]

@nickjjismyhusband Its their job to do that, fucker

[nickjjismyhusband]

@BobyJooba Exactly. DONT judge then.

[Prettyfresh20]

I would love to see Jim Carey host he is funny.

[EthanEternal]

Why the hell did they put him in a dress? They didn't need to do that. Other than that I thought they were great as hosts.

Christian Bale was awesome...

[mmg1195]

@EthanEternal Christian Bale WAS awesome! He owned his past mistakes and was touching without being cheesy. He certainly has gotten people to like him again with this role, although I've been a fan for a while.

[EthanEternal]

@mmg1195 Yes, it's true. I've been a fan of CB for so long, it would be impossible not to like him, hee..

[ss66ii77]

@EthanEternal i think that joke was that since Anne was wearing the "tux" he had to wear the dress, because she took his outfit so he had to wear hers idk if someone knows differently then correct me

[EthanEternal]

@ss66ii77 Aww, he actually looks better there than I was giving credit for, hee... I think I was more responding to all the unfavorable critique of their hosting abilities. I didn't get to see the Academy Awards, even though I wanted to, because I was away in the country. I only saw the clips. I was thinking they would probably be a couple of the more favorable hosts ever, but that didn't seem to be the consensus...

I was still rooting for Christian Bale, so much, even though I was away...

[turnitcolorful]

Actually, it was 67 seconds. FAIL!

[HstarAnime]

More like 67 seconds!

[RedJeansVersus]

127 hours was an amazing film, way better than The King's Speech. They only got the awards because the film is about the monarchy. But that's just my opinion (If I ran the oscars), I just prefer different types of films.

[bodizone1]

james franco's idiot attitude ruined the oscars, worst show ever

[Gracie2136]

67 seconds

[danteXIII14]

67 seconds FAIL

[AnneHathawayVEVO]

Anne Hathaway was awesome, she's very talented!

[Monokuroboo24]

Why the hell is Hugh Jackman the blame for 'making us think all good actors must be good hosts'. 

[anahit93]

Robert Downey jr. And Jude law should host next year's oscars. Those two are incredible together and funny!

[katysgettingmad]

@starkidgleek @envyus222 ;) that's because our fandom is the most dedicated and obsessive. Everything has a starkid reference haha <3

[nickcarterroxs]

@zzdaesiefil But don't forget a bunch of old guys are the ones who pick who wins the awards.

[nickcarterroxs]

I feel for some people this year's oscars were so predictable, that it wasn't going to be as enjoyable as previous years have been. I know every year I look forward to watching the oscars on tv, but I just knew who was going to win for most of the categories. It was fun while it lasted. Oh well.

[yellowcougar18]

Everything was bad about it, and Franco and Hathaway both did a terrible job.

[lipponz]

RICKY GERVAIS!!

[katysgettingmad]

Mama Umbridge? Is that you?

[envyus222]

@katysgettingmad haha could you imagine if it were joe walker? ahh

[starkidgleek]

@envyus222 hahaha i love you guys. that's EXACTLY what i was thinking

[sukuheart]

This was actually the first oscars I've seen in years. Just watched it for James Franco xP.

[Skaterwar81]

2010 hosts were way better bring those two back they make people lauph or jim carrey lol imagine that !

[inesica]

james franco was overrated!!

[PurpleMilkFTW]

@zzdaesiefil I agree with that.

[Master0gkush]

James Franco was stoned 

[xxbeckymcxx]

i thought they where quite good hosts but it was Robert Downy Jr and Jude Law that made my night, I love those two.

[Mazmorrero2]

James Franco is underrated. I prefer him than Chris Rock or that douche Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes.

[TheEyes629]

@Mazmorrero2

But compared to the male hosts of previous years? Last year it was Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin!

[MOBROOKS]

Its shocking how bad james franco sucked!! Absolutely shocking!!

[lordlionelrathbone]

my god Hathaway butchered it. She came off like a giddy 12 year old girl who doesn't shut up. She was beyond annoying and over-the-top and she tried way too hard. Poor Franco probably just gave up because he was visibly annoyed with her every time she opened her mouth and knew the show was already a lost cause



[jonathanhernandez76]

nobody cares about the oscars, because they couldn't afford to watch any of the movies in the theaters. some people are having trouble paying their electricity. I would have thought this would have been obvious to the media long before it actually happened. ratings are going to be low, until we can boost this economy.

[Biggestfanever11]

was the oscars this year really that bad? i'm sorry. i'm not from the u.s

[tanjakofol]

how intresting that it went down 9%

you weren't able to see it anywhere except in US

Make it next year only L.A. watchable and than wonder why it went down for 91!!!!!

[Mazmorrero2]

@tanjakofol I'm from Mexico and I could see the Oscars.

[chu6466]

this year's oscars was BORING.

except for the hosts james franco and anna hathaway. they did a good job!

[xXRubella666Xx]

@chu6466 I atually thought they were the worst part. They actually made me cringe. I like them both and I watched the Oscars for the first time because of them, so it was pretty disappointing when James wouldn't talk and Anne Hathaway had to make awkward jokes to fill the silences.

[Br1tishman]

@chu6466 NO! think you've got it the other way round. James looked high (even though I love him as an actor) and Anne hathaway was too cheesy

[9Baara]

the oscar sicked this year

[ZedBazinga]

@9Baara did it sick?

[joeysn7hvn]

Viewing of the awards tied to nobody going to the movies ? Bad economy.Relentless snowstorms in the upper states, hampered travel.
