James Franco and Anne Hathaway host the Oscars®

[simplybradrock]

They did a good job. Funny enough for an awards show. 

[GaybieBoy]

@ecysoul I agree, they were good hosts. But, that doesn't denote homophobia. Did you know that Anne Hathaway is a gay rights activist? I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate a close minded jerk calling everyone faggots. Btw, only a TRUE idiot would use such terrible grammar.

[volvol1]

I missed the show, but this clip seems embarassingly bad. Was it all this bad?

[FLOWER5358]

i think james and anne are the worst host but just so addorable

[benjamiy831]

Two of the most annoying people in the world on one stage. Wow...

[freak0bunny]

this was a traffic accident

[ChisaKad]

oh my gorsh.. james franco is getting old :O .. what the hell happened to him!?? :((

[voteforcanman]

@ChisaKad He aged you MO-ron. Vote for Can-Man!

[StagedoorDomina]

what in god's name were they thinking hiring these two? they do great in their respective films but they're clearly not comedians

[rhumbustification]

Anne: Over-acting. Franco: Under-acting. bleh.

[OrlaithMcC]

fuck all who say bad things about james

[OrlaithMcC]

fuck all who say bad things about james you fuckin bastards

[seoulbeatz89]

James franco stoned as shit

[StardustBeatle1039]

James Franco is just a mellow person. I thought he did a great job. :)

[thisawesomelife]

james was sooooo high lol

[MegaCreativekid]

this was sooooo badddddd

[TeenSpiritxx]

Anne is just amazing

[SoraSayWhat]

I felt bad for Hathaway. She really gave it her all, and was charming to boot, but Franco was just dead in the water.

[xxDisneyLoverMeeraxx]

Hes so cute!! <3

[TheXyzizzle]

Franco is such an amazing actor but hosting is such a different and difficult gig! Cut him some slack people!

[JewelsAdore]

I dont get what everyones talking about! He was ACTING! it was FUNNY! ha james franco is amazing and everyone loves him any guy who says he was a bad host must be jealous!

[bulchit48]

frankly, they were both lame

[bulchit48]

frankly, they were both lame asses

[vniguam]

I think its really nice... they were good hosts... not amazing... but alright

[Chiona33]

i have nothing against anne and james, but that was definitely not the right way to make the oscars younger and more attractive.

they should learn a lesson from the korean film awards. All i say is RAIN :)

[REBELLIC1OUS]

Awful. Simply awful. They seem so pretentious and ostentatious, this clearly needs abit of Ricky Gervais

[Nidarteh1337]

loved franco

[livlavluv23]

wut the hell is wrong with james franco? lol looks like he doesnt want to be there at all! put some concealer and get some eye drops damnit!!

[Jurakiryu]

Franco : what a loser .....

[Kadadj]

What would happen if someone bombed the Oscars

[wittyworldlee]

I watched it over and over just to see if I would stop cringing. I still cringe every time poor anne!

[TheConciseStatement]

@wittyworldlee

There was nothing wrong with Anne Hathaway. She was perfectly charming. James Franco fucked everything up for everyone.

[dodoshasha]

I think they both were amazing

[chris94kennedy]

i for one fucking love james franco.

[Gallifrey1991]

what a disaster this was

[laurence265]

0:23 never took much notice of how huge it is in there

[5tateOfEmergency]

franco obviously didnt sleep the night before, too nervous!

[ElisabethSwannRULES]

I thought this was quite good actually...

[Homzy09]

ricky gervais should host this

[str8ridah786]

this is what you get putting a stoner to host the oscars

[HFFDJKGHDSKJLFHASDJ]

this was oh so bad

[TheAlcavallaro]

franco looks stoned

[xofrancie]

I love Anne Hathaway's dress!! It's gorgeous! and she's so sweet, even if she wasn't the best host.

[xofrancie]

Maybe they weren't great Oscar hosts, but I still love them both dearly :)

[ashlygirl1234]

Anne could have done it on her own

[MsAmour2009]

overacting

[iTube543]

hahahaha anne hathaway....oh my god... hahahahah

[ytertyu]

two idiots ....

where is Steve Martin ??

[RonPawl]

they're both so awkward

[Schlieffen08]

Worst. Hosts. Ever

[ecysoul]

@Schlieffen08 fag.

[GaybieBoy]

@ecysoul Homophobe.

[ecysoul]

@GaybieBoy they were funny hosts dude. go suck your self. idiot.

[frootloopsfan]

What if they acted bad on purpose as a way of being funny

[ahfaxthis]

I ONLY singed in to say this was the WORST PAIRING of IDOTS . FIRE SOMENE for this crap and who wrote this crap? OMG

[hayde108]

Anne was overacting a tad, but I think she's really cute and charming :3

[Adamclayton5]

James Franco = HIGH AS FUCK

[magicpeach2011]

Dear god. I mean I thought I hate hathaway before. but jeeesus.

Lol franco's grandma is stoned too.

[areposo]

i was looking for worst oscar hosts and this video came up

[krisbyeah]

Jude Law citing at 2:56. YAY.

[RobLangdonIsStupid]

Actually, Hathaway isn't to bad. Hell, at least she is TRYING. Franco, though, just doesn't care.

[naughtynaij92]

james franco is so stoned lol

[DAAREN5455]

hahahahhah i just saw marky mark!

[idolovepeonies]

Anne is so excited and seems not to believe what's happening and James is like 'yeah ok I ve experienced that many times before'......

[makaveliHaratua]

i dnt give a FFFFFFFFF,,, ahahah james franco is sexxxyyyy ! i dunno why i think it , i just do ,, ahaha and i rekon it was funny -.-

[ugoogly5000]

I don't get why everyone's so rude about James Franco, that's his personality, he shouldn't have to change the way he is just to pander to an audience.

[Nerdbil]

franco...didnt give a fuck haha

[kamyou70]

James franco role a sliff before he when on

[tsdf2]

Worst oscar hosts ever!

[susankohistany]

you all are complainers. I thought they were great

[t091293]

they are hilarious! they did an amazing job here, props for them!

[lonelygnome1]

Atleast Hathaway tried... Franco just gave up.

[MrSerpentish]

James Franco was doing so badly his grandmother was about to cry.

[popups46okay]

WELCOME TO YOUTUBE. PEOPLE ARE BAD COMMENTERS!

[FLOWER5358]

LOL THIS WAS SO BAD SO PAINFUL TO WATCH

[12345678953236]

Ποσο ΠΟΥΣΤΗΣ ΠΑΙΖΕΙ ΝΑ ΕΙΣΑΙ ΡΕ ΜΑΛΑΚΙΣΜΕΝΗ? JAMES FRANKITA!

[12345678953236]

ΠΟΣΟ ΠΟΥΣΤΗΣ ΠΑΙΖΕΙ ΝΑ ΕΙΣΑΙ ΡΕ ΜΑΛΑΚΑ?

[maddash24seven]

I know this phrase has been beat to death, but Franco seriously does look a bit red in the eyes.

[d10dawg]

the oscars are losing the classy touch that once symbolized it

[Lazerscythe]

I just saw Marky Mark.

[musiklover6783]

JF is probably shy or nervous, hell - maybe he's not a good host - but who cares? so what? to us girls/women - he's still one of the sexiest men alive. his smile make me go weak in the knees. dang!!!!

[Enemynarwhal]

I love how little James Franco clearly doesn't want to do this. He sort of cringes every time he has to tell some lame joke. I don't blame him, but unless he needed the money I don't see why he bothered.

[coolestcube]

um. The lines read by the pair are not in fact written by them but by SCRIPT-WRITERS. AH & JF are only taking on the (no doubt pressuring) responsibility of hosting the Oscars. Imbeciles.

[Shyreenify]

I have a 15 year old sister and all she did during this was shaking her head at the awkwardness. Younger generation my ass. Everyone can enjoy the oscars. You don't need to pull of "hip" for that. Please stick with the classiness.

[qwerty4397]

anne looks like she can't breathe...

[TheSonicSkier]

They were ok. Anne was better than James. They don't hold a candle to previous hosts though... Jackman, Martin and Baldwin were all better...

[KnIghTOfCyDoniAz4]

i actually think th unfunny wan is anne all the way. franc should have hosted with seth rogen or something. would have been amazing

[pwgirl92]

This Oscars was so terrible!!! I'm glad they have finally asked Billy Crystal back because he is just a great host!!!! I love the medley he does!!!

[MrNick1537]

how stoned was franco haha

[prinilen]

seriously akward...

[Lyra5]

ehh...

[JesseMcCartney69]

I LOVE JAMES FRANCO! But he was not good here. Maybe he was nervous in front of all those people. I HATE ANNE! But she did good if Franco hadn't held her back.

[saadboy17]

@JesseMcCartney69 James Franco did terrible here. Anne Hathaway is actually pretty talented and all, she did put up a lively show but still...too amateur.

[MsAngelky]

@saadboy17 

james is not that terrible he is rather jerk.........!!!!!

my cute deaR

[renues]

This Fucking Sucks

[renues]

Gosh Franco SUCKS

[TwiFiveGirls101]

I didn't know what everyone was talking about before, yeah i can kinda see it. Anne was great and I love her one of my FAVORITE actress ever but Franco was not that good. I didn't watch the Oscars this year. But hey I hope Anne is great in some other new films.

[PforPZ]

"Where's the dad?" Oh, come on people. That joke is funny because it's a good question.

[neishy3]

I could punch Franco... This was the worst.

[rocky78964]

@neishy3 I mean common who wouldn't be like that when you are looking at someone else winning an Oscar when actually you should be winning...I think that James Franco behaved the way he should be, i mean he didn't get a fuck.. !!

[qwertymac]

shitty writing

[davidmrust]

Anne and 0:22

[KalcuttaPro]

dont think is was that bad? Franco was actually funny

[MsJustberocknroll]

I will always say that the best Oscar hosting EVER was Hugh Jackman in 2009 :D

[lllmrsdarcy4everlll]

This was horrible.

[Meggabear1988]

Her dress is absolutely beautiful

[AminAk514]

James is STONED!!

[greenday7891]

So damn high

[kingdavidtrialruns]

I promised myself before I started the video that I would, no matter what, finish watching it. I didn't make it past the two minute milestone.

[Messylin]

Can't bear these two - Franco's hipster self-absorption and Hathaway's cringe-worthy self-consciously sycophantic and dorky debutante are odious creations by both of them.

[pantehaTavassol]

Um...awkward...

[KayWildcat]

Wow.....this is painful.....I really want Hugh Jackman to host again. I remember the second the Oscars opened up at his year, I could feel the standard of class....and when I mean "class", I mean high class! It was fantastic! After that was when watching the Academy Awards became an official tradition in my house.....but simply with the span of 2 years.......I am heavily disappointed....

[99amitch]

haha this was hilarious. hathaway overacts everything she says and franco is just being natural.  personally i thought the contrast was really funny

[781Karen]

Watching this is more painful than a root canal! Ech!

Too bad too because they're both decent actors.

[railroadwino1]

I've heard so much shit about this Academy Awards that I looked it up. What was so bad about that?

[Mr123Gibson]

@railroadwino1 watch the other 82 and you'll see

[Invisiblefiyah]

@railroadwino1

i had the same question lawl

[IluvMJandBrunoMars]

Amazing dress

[MisterAaronRodriguez]

I'm sorry but you can't fuck with Hugh Jackman's opening song/dance when he hosted... you just can't.

[madclowntapia]

this is actually ... rather awesome quality...

[botticelligal]

Aww, I feel bad for them around the point when it's clear that no one's going to laugh very much.

[L0un9ePunk]

I don't get what anyone is so upset about



[thegrunger49]

James had some shrooms before the show! LOL

[parsifal3142]

Tried a few times, even watching through finger slits, couldn't get beyond 1:00

[theoraclespecialist]

Okay maybeee James and Anne were terrible but that doesn't mean that the 'youth' are incapable of hosting oscars. There is cameron diaz, sandra bullock, neil patrick harris who will be brilliant. I don't want stale old billy crystal into the mix.

[johnnyafairbanksak]

@theoraclespecialist You're too late, because next year...he's baaaaaaaccccckkkkk!!!

[satgunam8701b]

Hey Oscar Guys, do what you can to bring Eddie Murphy back as Host because this was so BAD!! Who were the casting team for this Oscars Ceremony....Poor Form!!!

[kraskata2012]

@satgunam8701b why murphy when jamie foxx is much more funnier

[ButtHaver1993]

I had to stop at 0:53. It was just too terrible lmao.

[hulliscorrupt]

Dear me, and people had to sit through this? Ugh, usually there's some line of demarcation between the script and the presenter's delivery.

That Franco bloke, whoever he is, is about as energetic and entertaining as a slug on rohipnol.

[lizzielonglegs]

Oh.. My.. God..

Wow.

[movietrailer]

What is this? This is like a really bad SNL opening monologue.

[rapmasterRH]

I had to stop at 01:30 so awkward

[youngsturr23]

as awkard as this it.. james franco is still hot :D

[BrownieWithCaramel]

they're both such amzing actors and i love the oscars and everything, but they're trying so hard to be "appealing to the younger generation" that it seems like kinda disney thing. gosh i was 13 when it airend and was like "damn the younger generation". i mean, weren't the oscars somehow classy once? but i think the earn respect just for being live on air in front of millions of people and just getting through their shit, don't they?

[MsScreenwriter101]

@BrownieWithCaramel I agree. It was kind of ridiculous that they've got a lot of flake for this Franco especially. He said himself that the writers didn't focus on the script 'til a week before. And it's kind of stupid that they were trying to go for the "younger demographic" considering that the younger demographic is consumed by the "Jersey Shore" and Facebook.

[ddffghij]

it seems like anne's faking the whole thing.... and james is like: remember the lines, remember the lines

[Zhirus1]

I love "0:21-0:23"

[Zhirus1]

This is like a Disney deram O.o can't really tell how I mean xD

[DangersGirl4Ev]

hahahaahahhahahah he's so serious or "stoned" like he said on david letterman. and she's soooo energetic!

[LG62194]

O.o

[XXXkisssssXXX]

If it was Ricky Gervais up there it would have been a night to remember

[JasleneSee]

james looked like he dare not look anne in the eyes O_O

[abahawas]

oscars is so fucking horrible... just put fuckin ricky gervais up there

[msdenise1234567]

it's so fake



[maleman6344]

Anne Hathaway is so annoying

[thisisthekari]

Um, maybe it's just me but I really preferred Hugh Jackman's opening A LOT more than this.

[NicolasUG445]

Damn Marl wahlbergs wife is hot af

[CptSpauIding]

Terrible hosts, but then again,who in hell thought they wouldn't be ? They're not comedians...

There's a shit load of genius funny people that could host it, and they choose those two ?

[waynelean8]

what movie were they in together?

[bluebrooklyn1]

it's not that he didn't want to be there or he was bored, it's that he supposed to act like that

[TheVeronlynne]

wtf is this

[weeoo86]

Every time James Franco starts giggling to himself I always imagine that he's thinking about the "Rainbow Bunchie".

(Look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about)

[EmperorTrollpatine]

soooooooo akward

[SuperKringlan]

@EmperorTrollpatine why?

[xforeverpeace17x]

@EmperorTrollpatine its sooooooooooo awkward when you can't spell awkward.

[MaranathaMaranatha]

Anne is sweet, beautiful and the dress is gorgeous

[DAHCLH23]

I can't even stand to watch this

[zhy88ify]

it's not james franco's fault!!!..blame the scriptwriters for creating lame lines...but i do love how he's acting so sarcastic..and i just have a feeling that he is not comfortable with anne's exaggerated energy..way to go franco!!

[borriskarlof]

zero comedic timing. lame jokes. stoned bozo. not a good combo for the oscars.

[Katanajoe7]

that was awkward

[ItsTheUniverse2011]

i truly believe they both did a lovely job (:

[ridemegirlrideme]

it is so obvious fanco just didnt wanna be there.he didnt even try to fake it.

[andysuke]

I don't really care if they did it well well or not... This guy is HOT!

[VasilikiJohnny]

Αγαπάω τον James Franco...

[MeaganG115]

he wasnt stoned. he said on an interview that he wasnt and people were giving him slack because he looked it. hes a serious dude, compared to anne hathaway he's like a brick wall. anyone would be cuz shes so AHHHH. and i think they tried to make him sarcastic. whatever i think they did a pretty good job.

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

james is soooooooooooo adorable!!!, and so sweet!

they are the worst of all .....
