To anyone who watched the Oscars Sunday night, it was painfully obvious James Franco realized ten minutes in he’d made a horrible mistake which left Anne Hathaway to do all the heavy lifting. So it makes sense that by the end of the whole experience they fucking hate each other. Us Magazine reports:
“She had to provide all the energy — he was just phoning it in,” says a second insider. (“James seemed in his own little world,” during the Oscar telecast, says another source. “Producers were pissed.”)
In fact, as UsMagazine.com reported Monday, after the awards, Franco, 32, skipped his own party at L.A.’s The Writer’s Room.
“He went immediately back to NYC because he was pissed about how the show went,” adds a third source.
Jesus. What did James Franco think he signed up for in the first place? Because I’m pretty sure no one has ever watched the Oscars and gone, “My, God, that just flew by.” It’s universally hated every single time. That said, how hard is it for a trained actor to act interested for the two minutes it takes to announce a presenter? He literally stopped trying to the point where I’ve seen people more excited to get socks for Christmas and one of them was in a coma. The joy was palpable by comparison.

if i had to be on stage with her for three hours listening to her “wooo” everyone that came on, i’d be so annoyed, poor franco.
this was the oscars, not a pep rally.
Who is James Franco?! YES – I am serious! Who is he?
He’s apparently some guy that the producers of the Oscar telecast paired with Anne Hathaway as co-host. Beyond that your guess is as good as anyone’s.
This was supposed to get a “younger” audience. here is the problem none of the movies nominated are of the kind that a younger audience will see or star anyone they care about. Maybe if they did a lesbian film with Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato and get it nominated maybe the younger audience will watch. Or they will be still watching the Demi-Selena Sappho-love movie on bluray to care to tune in.
Only old ladies and gays guys even watch the oscars. A point that made by Chris Rock when he hosted the show.
I liked how Billy Crystal did a tribute to Bob Hope and she showed clips of him hosting the OSCARS. Hey everyone let’s watch and she how the Oscars SHOULD BE HOSTED.
Did anyone take a good look at his droopy eyes? His flat affect? His cavalier attitude? Prrreeeetty sure he was high as hell. Just sayin’
Am I the only one here that would only have sex with Hathaway because I can’t fucking stand that cunt bitch or her face?
Who’s James Franco?
Who watches 4 hours worth of autofellation?
No, because that makes no sense.
Maybe they should have hired a straight guy to co-host with Anne.
Ann Hathaway can show me her tits anytime.
Just thought I’d put that out there.
I’m with you, LJ! I would eat that until my tongue went on strike!
I totally enjoyed his lack of enthusiasm, it mirrored my own. melissa leo should win worst acceptance speech and natalie portman should win least deserved win. as should black swan. fuck aronofsky’s he’s lost it. and IMO it could all boil down to his casting portman. if not also not including an explicit scene of kunis’ tongue on portman’s twat. true grit was most deserving IMO though I didn’t watch all of king’s speech because the amount of fur being worn pissed me off and there was one other i didn’t see can’t remember what but true grit was fun. hooray for using thesuperficial for my anti-oscar rant!
this guy does not care. it was funny so everyone should hate each other for things to be funny now? how i love hate
This post is very small because this story is a very small and it lacks redeeming qualities like topical interest or reason for being! Just like the Oscars, which completely lack relevancy to anyone outside the motion picture industry.
I’ve been eagerly anticipating the next Batman since 2008. I am completely dumbfounded as to why Nolan picked such a dull, obnoxious, overrated, and ugly female to play the iconic role of Catwoman. I applaud Nolan on choosing not to do it with 3D though. None of us want her horse-face popping out at us in Imax 3D. *shudder*
I used to agree, till I figured it out. it’s quite simple really. she’s popular. she got popular for taking off her shirt and exposing those floppy saggy tits she “suddenly” got years back (and implants CAN look real over time). Therefore, she will bring popularity to this badly casted movie… especially if she takes her catwoman suit off.
“I applaud Nolan on choosing not to do it with 3D though. None of us want her horse-face popping out at us in Imax 3D. *shudder*”
HAHAHAHAHA. This whole post sounding exactly like something i would write. I actually had to double check to see if I had wirtten this before or not!
Ya right, who was the one who does barely take showers? James Franco or Robert Pattinson?
Justin Bieber.
first he’s a girl, now he never showers like a man…. lolz the haters love to make no sense at all.
then again, it makes no sense to hate a nice kid like Justin in a world that worships freaks like Anne, Gaga, Eminem, etc.
And that’s quite what it is. Any problems with that?
An anger management course wouldn’t harm her.
Or acting lesson course.
In this matter we don’t fool around behind anyone’s back. Our hands are squiky clean.
Since 4-3 years now.
Wow, I dont give any bleeping shit about who hated who in the end cause to be quiet honest both just fucked up yesterday’s Oscar. It was dull as shit, the winners were so predictable, the performances were awkward, the jokes werent even bleeping funny. Oh boy, they better get someone better for next year’s Oscar or people will laugh at this show again.
And that’s what you get when you refuse to communicate.
Sleeping lately at daytime. Surprised? Another proof that i’m just a mortal being.
Ya right, we’re going to sleep next to a tapped phone like it’s a teddy bear or something.
and that’s a marketing call.
To all the marketing call centers: I’m registered. Leave me alone!
tell me: WHO ISN’T?
Why didn’t they get Coco to host the Oscars? I’m starting to forget that guy.
And what happen to the old winning formula of established comedians hosting, such as David Letterman, Woopie, Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, Ill even take Robin Williams if all fails. Problem with R.W. he doesn’t know when to cease a long running joke. It becomes painful but he still gets laugh…
She did a great job hosting in spite of James Franco. I enjoyed her enthusiasm immensely and loved all her wardrobe changes.
You accidentally switched James and Anne’s names.
I call bullshit. Franco posted several video’s on his Twitter and they were laughing backstage the WHOLE SHOW. If she didn’t like him, why would they be kicking it backstage when they weren’t scheduled to be on? They have green rooms ya know.
How was Franco to know Nyquil wasn’t a new type of shooter?
Let’s talk about Anne Hathaway. What a weird girl is that.
These aren’t even his own words folks!
everyone i know loved the pairing and thought both were brilliant. james franco was hillarious and so was anne! it was a breath of fresh air to see the oscars like this! How the hell can you say James was phoning it in this is ridiculous! it’s the same thing everytime look at the golden globes there was a whole thing about how the producers were unhappy with ricky gervais and tom hanks and tim allen were pissed off with him! but the producers were pleased with his performance as host and everyone loved him tom and tim were having drinks with him afterwards they thought he was brilliant so it was all bullshit! it’s typical of the media to make up stories like this just to get people talking it’s pretty much all media bullshit!
One thing what you learn very well when you doing together sport on a high level is loyalty and trust. Dogs can learn from that.
anyone who expected james franco to act differently clearly does not now franco at all and has never watched any of his stuff. shut the fuck up about him, media.
agreed.
and everyone who is pretending Anne was funny, graceful, good, or anything positive clearly does not know her either and is just pretending she’s a cool person because the media brainwashes people into thinking that lie.
Franco was high as a kite! He was clearly drained by the effort it took to keep his eyes open…
Read about how James Franco dissed the commencement speech I gave when he graduated from UCLA…
http://kristinasherylwong.com/blog/2011/03/dear-james-franco-hell-hath-no-fury-like-a-wong-scorned/
This doesn’t surprise me at all. Anne was so enthusiastic, even as the night dragged on. While Franco looked like his eyes weren’t even open more than half the time. I mean I love his movies and respect him as an actor, but he could have used his ACTING skills to at least LOOK interested.
The two people JAMES FRANCO AND ANNE HATHAWAY..was horrible…lol…. the Oscars were corney,boring just sad, not funny at all..14 mins in I turned the channel….lol……I was wondering why they even picked the two people b/s they are not the type thats funny, humorous,at all…….This ocars was dry….lol…the music they picked was dull, their was nothing exciting about it at all…..the Oscars gets a booooooooooooooo…..The Oscars was terrible.
Most of the blame should be placed at the feet of Bruce Vilanch. He’s been writing for the Oscars’ for 22 years, almost as long as the show has sucked. Hathaway hand-farted her way thru those gawd awful lines with the same zeal she had on SNL. So, she dont know funny. Franco had to get jacked to not throw up on stage from the taste of V’s stale jokes.
This obnoxious, disturbingly untalented, spoiled diva just keeps proving more and more what a rude, classless BRAT she is. It’s like honey, in Hollywood, you can at least get by on looks if you ain’t got the talent. but you ain’t got talent OR looks, so at least have a frickin personality! she gets by on the charisma from her washed-away “good girl” image (I dont know why… she’s made it quite clear she is NOT a good girl at all and doesnt wanna be, so how stupid are her fans for that?) and popularity from taking her clothes off in every movie.
NO think about how easy it is for her to breath through her nose when her mouth is full.
You say half empty, I say totally full.
PS: She was wonderful.
Well, Jennifer, I totally think you are out to lunch. As fish said, she carried that show. She did not seem self-absorbed at all, was funny and graceful. YOU on the other had sound like a real lady. Classy!
Someone is jealous
@jennifer AGREED!!!!
i’m with you jennifer
right on mean tina! I agree
He is talented and funny and she is the exact opposite of those things.
Charlie Sheen would have hosted, but the ceremony wasn’t in his octagon.
They wanted safe and thats what they got. No excitement, just a totally boring show with presenters that were out of their league. Their decision to use young talent was a big mistake since they have no experience with a huge award production. The producers should have went with the tried and true. Yes Charlie Sheen would have had them talking till next year..
I’d fucking eat a $60 pay per view to watch Sheen demand an oscar for every actor alive or dead that appeared in Apocalypse Now…with strippers and a bong at his side. But, oh-no – instead I get to watch Frank James go through the motions like he’s laying on a used twill couch working on his sixth jerk-off of the day with his one good arm. And speaking of jerking off, I HAD PLANNED to give Hathaway a go and we were gonna do some CRAXZY SHIT, but Javier Frankson has gone and fucked that up for me. FUCK YOU JESSE JAMES FRANCOPHONE! WHEREVER YOU ARE….FUCK YOU!
My entire judgment about the Oscars can be summed up as this:
I did not see a single movie that was nominated for anything. The oscars could not be less relevant or poignant to me.
Full of WIN.
Ha!
Man this woman is white as hell with huge eyes and sagging tits. Why the hell is she Catwoman again?
since hosting the oscars aren’t a part of his prelims (yeah, maybe i do know something about grad school ), then wouldn’t it be his own fault for doing it.
Plus, if you stare at this pic a couple of seconds, her face looks like it was painted by the Rev. Howard Finster.
Ms. Hathaway, I believe you know Ms. Berry?
LOL. The fact that you just wrote that Anne has “sagging tits” proves how little you know about what real women look like. Of course, your knowledge on breasts is probably extremely limited, since the only ones you’ve ever seen are on porn stars. Because the majority of real breasts look like Anne’s. Gravity affects everything smart one, and that includes boobs. Without the help of perky boob genes or a good push-up bra, breasts are going to sag as long as you’re upright. If you don’t believe me, you can continue to live on in your ignorance, and maybe one day you’ll meet a girl dumb and drunk enough to actually sleep with you, and you’ll get to see them in real life!!
Melissa apparently has saggy tits too. Judging by her reaction, I’d say she’s fat as well.
No, Melissa is right. All breasts look like hers and the bigger they are the more they “sag.” Unless they are bags of saline, they rest a few inches below the collar bone. Funny thing is, you are the exact opposite of your log in name. And, you seem like a prick who gets off on insulting women. Bitter about the amount of rejection you suffer on a daily basis? Or dare I say since you’re on a celebrity gossip site that you may be gay and only wish you had the same parts as Hathaway and the rest of us women? Anyway, Hathaway’s breasts are the norm. And you are an ignorant pig. :)
That post goes to Mr.IntelligentFella and Michael. I’d also like to know where exactly do you think he breasts are supposed to be? Directly ON her collar bone? They are right where they are supposed to be. You may be disappointed not everyone has fake boobs that are placed just below their chin but I think more women are disappointed your parents didn’t abort both of you.
^This. and while small boobs are the best, her big tits keep disappearing in some of her outfits and small ones just dont fit her wide frame.
MY thoughts exactly! I keep hearing this guy’s name and I’m like “who?” Why was this nobody chosen to host the Oscars anyway? At least people have heard of Anne Hathaway!
Right, Anne did an amazing JOB the problem WAS JAMES Franco! Did this twerp even READ the article? Honestly!
Like in ALL her movies, she was painfully awkward, obnoxious, highly untalented and is getting to be nicely self-absorbed. She has no class or grace at all (you obviously have no idea what funny or graceful mean…). Jennifer is spot on!
I give him props for not giving a @%&. Who cares any ways? People with lives & things to do don’t sit on thier @$$ for four hours and watch the friggin Oscars…
It’ just SO uninteresting.
If he didn’t care he shouldn’t have taken the job.
This.
“James seemed in his own little world,” during the Oscar telecast, says another source”
Yep,you really need an insider to figure this one out
he was high as a kite!
DING DING DING! WE HAVE A WINNER!
LMAO no…. oh wait, you meant Anne was a dude, never mind, you’re right after all :)
EXACTAMUNDO! You could tell. puffy eyes. red as hell. he was re-enacting pineapple express between Hathaway doing all the work.
go fuck a gorilla, Beeks!
I laughed too.
Not funny at all. He hardly looked recognizable as himself.
HAHAHAAHA
Exactly!
she never looks better except as a caricature, because then her obnoxiously and unattractively huge facial features have a reason to be so big.
