James Franco, Anne Hathaway’s 2011 Oscars hosting gig was an ‘uncomfortable blind date,’ show writers say
Fox News
Oscar writers reflected on James Franco and Anne Hathaway's 2011 Oscars hosting gig, calling the ordeal an "uncomfortable blind date." At the time, the telecast was criticized for being cringe and lacking chemistry between the two performers.
"It was like the world's most uncomfortable blind date between the cool rocker stoner kid and the adorable theater camp cheerleader," writer David Wild told The Ringer on Wednesday of the pair's opening monologue in which the "Love & Other Drugs" star was subject to boasting from Franco for his best actor nomination for "127 Hours" while Hathaway was overlooked. Wild went on to recall a moment way back when that spurred friction between the co-hosts after Hathaway – just 28 and the youngest host ever at the time – tried to offer up advice to Franco.More Related News
