Anne Hathaway and James Franco are hosting the Oscars

It’s weird that at one point Anne Hathaway was considered a not-as-good version of Lindsay Lohan. Now Lindsay is such a cartoony punchline she should change her name because “Lindsay Lohan” is like “garbage men” or “Blackwater“. It conjures up a negative image that she’ll never escape.

Anyway, Hathaway and James Franco are hosting the Academy Awards this year, which is a little weird since they’ll both almost definitely be nominated for Outstanding Actor and Actress. Show producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer told Deadline…

James Franco and Anne Hathaway personify the next generation of Hollywood icons— fresh, exciting and multi-talented. We hope to create an Oscar broadcast that will both showcase their incredible talents and entertain the world on February 27. We are completely thrilled that James and Anne will be joining forces with our brilliant creative team to do just that.” 

Yes indeed. Woe be to you if you thought Franco couldn’t wear a tuxedo, stand upright and read a teleprompter. Talk about multi-talented! You could put the teleprompter in front of him, or to the right, even to the left, he don’t care, he’ll read those fuckers all night long baby! Blue font, green font, even the white, there’s no limit to his gifts. I think he might secretly be Superman.
