Anne Hathaway and James Franco as Oscar Hosts: So How Were They?

After watching the Oscars last night – I came away thinking it was quite possibly the most boring Oscars of all time. It’s pretty sad when the best speech of the night comes from Best Song winner Randy Newman (he was hilarious!).

As for Anne Hathaway and James Franco – I thought they were DREADFUL. James Franco looked miserable the whole time, and his jokes fell flat. Anne Hathaway just laughed, smiled and giggled her way through the whole night, and to be honest, she really just drove me nuts. The number where she sang – was embarrassing to watch.

I read an article this morning that said she was too energetic, and I think that sums it up perfectly. It was just annoying.

The Anne Hathaway Oscars reviews were mixed, just like the show. Yet the Anne Hathaway Oscars routine was judged by a different standard than that of James Franco. The majority of critics noted that the two couldn’t have been more different in their approaches. While Franco was laid back to the point of appearing stoned to bloggers, his co star was exuberant at nearly every opportunity. As such, while critics wonder if Franco was way too relaxed, the Anne Hathaway Oscars reactions center on whether she was too energetic.

Although the two performed as a duo in the pre-taped opening sketch, they didn’t have much to do together after that. For most of the night, Franco appeared invisible, leaving a lot of the work for his co-host.

Yet for all of the James Franco and Anne Hathaway Oscars complaints, they are still young and popular enough to brush it aside. But if the Academy casts another duo in the future, they will likely try to have a less mismatched one.

When Kirk Douglas took the stage it was really just uncomfortable to watch. While he’s absolutely a Hollywood legend, I just found the whole thing incredibly sad.

What was your opinion of the night?

BREAKING: Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” Video Premieres!

I’ll take a break from Oscar coverage to post this breaking news… Lady Gaga’s music video for “Born This Way”!

The music video was shot by fasion photographer Nick Knight.

“This is the manifesto of Mother Monster,” Gaga says, setting up the effects-heavy video. “Thus began the beginning of the new race. A race within the race of humanity, a race which bears no prejudice, no judgment, but boundless freedom.”

I don’t like the video at all. Is that Gaga on a cross? Is she calling herself Holy? I think the video is disturbing at the least. I think Lady Gaga is officially too full of herself. It’s a self-gratifying video – and I don’t care for it at all.

In my opinion she’s going too far… settle down, Gaga… you’re not THAT great.

Here are some pictures from the video – including this one, in which she’s made herself look almost identical to Madonna. Is this a stab at all the talk that her song is a ripoff of Madonna’s “Express Yourself”?
