Anne Hathaway & James Franco To Host The 83rd Oscars Ceremony
Apart from the obivious x amount days until Christmas you know the year is ending when talk of who’ll win as well as present the oscars starts to appear in the press. Today this years hosts were annouced and Oscar telecast producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer decided to choose some new bloodinstead of the old hands by going for Anne Hathaway with James Franco.
The annoucement did shock a few people in the industry with some experienced actors many assumed would take up the usual hosting role but with Hugh Jackman last years host now about to dawn the old side breezers ad titanium claws to play Wolverine the organisers had to look elsewhere. the 82nd awards Steve Martin & Alec Baldwin did a great job at this years awards but this time they wont be doing it, so like any industry they want to promote the new actors and thus Hathaway and Franco got the job. Both have been involved in presenting individual awards but now they have the task of hosting it will up the ratings a bit too possibly making th awards more exciting to watch. Its also pretty much guaranteed James to be nominated for Best Actor for his role as Aron Ralston in Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours, so it’ll be interesting to see how things will go.
Here’s the offical statement fom Deadline post:
