Okay – so she didn’t really put it that way, but wasn’t she the worst Oscar host ever? She was awful!! Here’s more from her interview – with Interview.

In interview Magazine, Anne opens up about the hosting gig:

“You know, it’s not like I’d had this big dream to do this thing, and it’s not like I had a set of skills I’d been honing for years and years that I was going to showcase on this night. To me, it seemed like such a random opportunity, and such potential for fun, that I really was enjoying myself completely. It’s actually been very nice because the critical reaction was what it was, but since then . . . Like, just today, I was sitting, having lunch, and a really nice Canadian couple on vacation with their daughter came up and made a point of saying, “We just loved you at the Oscars.” It’s been so amazing and lovely, the feedback that I’ve been getting even months after the show. But then the other side of it was that I was obviously a little bummed out by the critical response because you work so hard at that. What I never appreciated about any of the hosts was just how much time and work goes into this huge production. Almost immediately afterwards, I went to Africa for the first time with an initiative that I work with called The Girl Effect, and I just realized that all these feelings that I was having, maybe even the negative ones, were a privilege to be had, and that good, bad, middling, whatever the Oscars were . . . I mean, I met a woman on this trip who got married at the age of 5.”

On getting ready for Catwoman:

“I actually had this moment when I convinced one of the assistant directors on the London portion of the film to get a cat with me, the idea being that we were going to get a kitten from a rescue shelter, and he was going to live with me, and I was going to observe it, and when I left London I was going to give it to her. Then, thankfully, her husband pointed out that that was a terrible idea on so many levels, not least of which being that it would probably be really confusing to the cat. So I turned to YouTube instead and got a National Geographic video on cats… I am still cat-less. My man is allergic to cats, so that decision is made for me.”

On being from Jersey:

“I think JWoww is amazing. I love JWoww. She’s intense. See, JWoww to me is proper Jersey because she will scrap for a friend…. My best friend got married this past weekend in Barcelona, and I was one of her bridesmaids. She’s one of my best friends from Jersey, and this guy was messing with her, and I was totally like, “Who am I punching?” She was like, “No one. You’re not going to punch anyone. And I was like, “Fair enough, but if a fight breaks out, who do you want me to swing at?”

“I wanted to be in New York. My feeling about growing up in New Jersey was, “How come I’m not in New York?” That being said, I’m older and I have a better worldview now, and so I think I grew up in an incredibly privileged position. The town I grew up in is beautiful. I got a great education, and I’m very grateful for it. But it’s not a place I wanted to stay. I left when I was 16, just to follow my dreams . . .”

Anne Hathaway does not like the paparazzi, let this be clear. In a bit on last night’s ‘Conan’, Anne says she likes to vent her frustration with the paparazzi by rapping – “in the style of Lil Wayne”.

That was awkward.

Deadline.com is reporting that Amy Adams has passed on the opportunity of starring as a journalist who sleeps with rock star Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise) in ‘Rock of Ages’. Like Anne Hathaway before her, Adams had a scheduling conflict.

Adams will be busy with the new Superman movie, ‘Man of Steel’ in which she’s playing Lois Lane.

‘Rock of Ages’ will open June 1, 2012.

Anne Hathaway went geek chic at the premiere of her new animated movie, ‘Rio’. The actress paired thick-rimmed glasses with a fringed purple Gucci dress at the Hollywood premiere this weekend.

Not sure how I feel about the glasses. What do you think? Love them or hate them?

Maybe this is why the awards looked so awkward! A source tells Us Weekly that Anne Hathaway and James Franco grew to “hate each other” as they rehearsed to host the Oscars Feb. 27.

“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 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.

Franco’s rep responds, “This is absolutely not true,” while Hathaway’s rep says, “Anne had a wonderful experience with him.”

Still, fans should expect a new MC in 2012. Insiders say both Hugh Jackman and Billy Crystal want the gig again.

Interesting!

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?
