I thought Anne did the best she could under the circumstances. She was very upbeat and genuinely excited. It's just that the chemistry from the two didn't work. I liked when she said "Used to be: You get naked, you get nominated!" Very funny line and should be amongst the best Oscar quotes.
I think that Ann Hathaway is really adorable and funny. James has already given up and his low/sulky energy really zaps the life out of the whole thing.
@@Leader23x I don't see much wrong with it, but the public, the media and even James himself turned on Anne and accused her of ruining this ceremony. So here I am giving James a critique.
Veronica Daisy- Logan Paul or ? I thought DT at first ... but you didn’t mention inferring that one of the wealthiest Black men in the country is ‘not smart’ upon his announcement that he opened a school and one day after the stabbing murder of an 18 year old girl, on a train platform, made national headlines (-no comment from DT on that of course)
OK I finally watched this. As an award host, Anne was absolutely 100% perfect in every way, Her style fits the celebratory atmosphere. She was a trooper for staying upbeat, and calm while trying to salvage one of the most dreaded situations an actor could be in - acting with a log. A guy who gave her less than zero. Blaming her for this is absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah I didn't even know this was a controversial performance from her until now, I thought that was the energy you're supposed to bring to a live award show with an enormous crowd... You need to bring enough enthusiasm to charge up the whole crowd, and she had to compensate for him sapping all the energy out of the occasion. If he was playing off her energy I think people wouldn't have had such an issue with her
how many folks are here after just reading the Entertainment Weekly article, "Writers spill on what went wrong with James Franco and Anne Hathaway's doomed 2011 Oscars gig"..?
The only awards I've ever seen without cringing at the hosts are when Tina and Amy hosted the Golden Globes and Ellen hosting the Oscars (well I cringed a bit at Ellen at some bits...)
Anne Hathaway isn't trying "too hard" she's trying period and it actually would come off better if she had someone opposite her that could match her energy. Unfortunately Franco is doing the least.
I’m so confused how everyone sees a problem with this I thought they did perfectly fine and worked well together…. Literally I’m so lost he isn’t disinterested
MattMexor I can perhaps see James Franco hosting the oscars if he actually tried but Anne Hathaway isn't known for comedy at all really, she seemed like a really odd choice
@Juan Suero no. If you did your homework on this, she told the Oscar's "no" when they told her who she'd be cohosting with. She told them "no," more than once. Then FRANCO, NOT the Oscar's begged her to co host with him, probably cuz he knew he'd fail up there all by himself! She knew it was a bad idea and STILL handled it professionally! While he didnt.
@@BrandonChaunceyOfficial I believe they were both making jest at the Oscars producers as they requested Anne and James specifically to host in order to appeal to younger demographics and audiences.
I think Anne is just performing. It’s far more entertaining that what James is doing. He can’t even look at her. She can hide that fact that she hates him and still look in his direction.
What’s screwed up is that Anne said no to doing this and James kept bugging her and bugging her and convinced her to do it with her. She said yes and gave 110% in the meetings, prep and rehearsal. And Franco never showed up to meetings and gave zero effort. And after it was done, she got 90% of the hate for it. James Franco seriously screwed over Anne Hathaway
The biggest problem is that the drugs they took are not in sync. He is obviously super high while she appears to have snorted all of Scarface's cocaine.
don't turn it into him being too cool for the oscars. he was nominated and he was happy but he couldn't pull off hosting, which is harder than it looks.
I respect Franco for not taking it so seriously. The jokes on the teleprompter are shit. He got high as fuck beforehand, just to get through it. however it wasn't fair on Anne though.
Hm. So she is rather perky, but I don't think this should have garnered her hate. Hosts of award shows are always scripted to be corny. It looked extra on her, but that's how hosts always behave. I think her being placed beside him and them having different styles in personality and humor just exacerbated exactly how perky she looks. Let's be honest though, Anne doesn't deserve the hate she gets. You can find her enthusiasm and perkiness annoying.. but to outright hate her for it? Come on. The bandwagon effect is truly real.
Anne Hathaway isn’t hate worthy. She’s obviously a very nice person. There are so many cynical people who hate there own lives that can’t help but hate on someone who is quite obviously loving life. I say good luck to her, I hope to see more of it from more people.
I love them both, but they're not a match to each other... They both great actors, Anne also have an amazing vocal (that scene from Les Miserables gave me gigantic goosebumps every time) and James IMO is also a very funny and sexy guy...
I remember this ceremony and I felt so bad for Anne throughout the night because I did feel she did a pretty good job herself but Franco gave her absolutely nothing. I don't think I remember a host being so disinterested. I mean the most memorable part of the night was Hathaway singing "On my own", which was both hilariously and sadly accurate.
Such a strange awkward duo. I just read from the writers of this particular show all the behind the scenes news of this and it confirms why it felt so awkward that night..... these two had absolutely no partnership and James never bothered trying. He was actually the one who talked her into this and yet she came full on board where as he never tried in rehearsals much or bothered trying to connect with Anne much. Always entertaining reading the background from show creators themselves.
I read a similar article that said that he barely even tried to show up for anything to go over material. They said every time they tried to get in touch with him, he was on a flight.
This is painfully bad to watch but everyone has to remember, the Oscars have a big team of writers who came up with all this garbage. There's a possibility James disliked the material so much he decided to deny the writers of any honor by not even attempting to play along, thus exposing how shitty the material really was.
"In the last week [before], when we really started focusing on the script for the live show and did a run-through. I said to the producer, 'I don't know why you hired me because you haven't given me anything. I just don't think this stuff's going to be good'." -Franco
+inb4inb4 He shouldn't have accepted to co-host this then. Making a fool of himself and killing the show for those that wanted to see it is not something to ''love''.
Abac Dervant With all due respect, if others can go on stage and say it's a ''very important night'', he can go up and act like he does not care at all.
+inb4inb4 Your opinion. I can't agree. If you don't care, don't accept to co-host the event / attend the event. Going there just to screw the experience for everyone that enjoys that particular event, is a douche move. I don't like the Oscars myself, but he is supposed to be a decent actor, able to perform at least at an average level when required. His level was under sea level.
I think the awkwardness comes from the timing / pauses between things. Anne did a great job staying upbeat and cheerful. James felt like he was at the MTV movie awards where he could do whatever and it doesn't matter.
Logan S "Pitch red' isn't a thing. People describe black things as being "black as pitch" because 'pitch' is another word for tar. Which isn't red. TMYK!
Johnny Depth Don't you mean "*You're* an idiot"? Lol If you're going to insult the intelligence of someone, at least do it in a intelligent way.. ya idiot.
I don't think it was bad at all?? It's like some people started calling it bad and everyone is joining? They are such opposites it is actually funny to look at! (The corny lines is part of every oscar hosting, it's part of the entertainment...'
Oh, come on. It was BAD. Not pilling on here. Has to make you cringe and feel bad for both of them. No chemistry here at all. I actually love Anne and James, but especially in James' case, this is not his forte. The squinting and low-key approach doesn't work in this setting.
Rita Parduzi So we're hating people because they're genuinely nice people who likes to please others now? Wow, this society is more fucked up than I thought. How about we just admit that we're bitter assholes and hate people for pathetic and petty reasons. Anne is amazing.
최이민 we're hating people who are boring with nothing to offer, yeah. nobody wants to be around someone who just agrees with everything they say. sry for wanting to build friendships with people who actually have a personality haha
Rita Parduzi You do realize that ''hate'' is a very strong word right? Maybe it's because you're on the internet, or you're just fucking dumb, but that is NEVER a reason enough to ''hate'' someone, dislike is even too much. People's personalities are different, who cares if she's a ''people pleaser'' that is a personality in itself, maybe not one that you like but a personality nonetheless, like I said.. how about you stop coming up with petty dumb excuses and just admit that you're a hateful dumb-ass. Next.
I looked this vid up because of all the jokes that were made in Franco's roast about him hosting the Oscars. It definitely wasn't great but he did his job ok, I don't see how it's even worth mentioning. If you think that the quality of this monologue/dialogue was bad, then blame the writers that came up with this inane, cliche rambling. It's not like Franco improvised it...
Yeah I didn't think it was that bad Not the funniest but ok Anne was like an excited child and James was like your drunk uncle who barely remembers the next of what you just said 🥴🍺
jjcmark1 I dunno why people gave him some bad reviews in his Oscar hosting. He was great! Would have been irritating as fucked seeing 2 hosts as hyped as Anne Hathaway, was cool having the 2 sides, one calm and "chilled out" lol
@@moe2366 nope, the oscars love black people. Black panther even got nominated for best picture this year. Kevin hart was going to be the host this year, he is black.

I have a theory that americans don't like her because she looks pure and innocent. It's unfortunate... American society today values the Kim Kardashians, Niki Minajs, sexual, shallow, attention seeking women. I think she is an amazing actrice with a great heart. Being a person who is down to earth and who has a good soul should never be underrated.
So I heard that they did not do well as hosts? Who the eff wrote their lines? Blame them. They were just reading and doing what they were supposed to. Who the eff threw lesbians in their script anyway. Awkward!!!?!
The trouble is that the two personalities don't work as a comedy duo. If Seth Rogen had been the one in the dress with Franco, it would have been hilarious!
You know, it might seem like this was Jame's fault. But really it was Anne who was bombing because she was too over the top, and I think James realized it and was like "Oh fuck, she's so corny." And then he panicked. You can tell while she's talking he's like "Oh no!"
I agree especially since he kept saying things like "wow" or making head nods at the end of her lines which were obviously supposed to be jokes and get laughs but fell flat. His attitude felt more like "fuck this." To me the worst was (and I'm paraphrasing here because I'm not going back to watch that disaster again), "It used to be you got naked, you got nominated. But not anymore, not anymore." Then silence. Even he could tell that was painful to get through.
The fact that they’d never worked together and had no chemistry sure didn’t help. Like if they did this again with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone it’d be amazing.

I think the awkwardness comes from the timing / pauses between things. Anne did a great job staying upbeat and cheerful. James felt like he was at the MTV movie awards where he could do whatever and it doesn't matter.
After watching the roast of James Franco, this is hilarious. I don't think he ever felt more paranoid in his life.
Anne was so great, and i don't know whats wrong with james i guess he's so nervous...i still love him
Nope, he was stoned lol
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Logan S "Pitch red' isn't a thing. People describe black things as being "black as pitch" because 'pitch' is another word for tar. Which isn't red. TMYK!
Logan S your an idiot and the people you talk to are idiots
Johnny Depth
Don't you mean "*You're* an idiot"? Lol If you're going to insult the intelligence of someone, at least do it in a intelligent way.. ya idiot.
where the hell are james franco's eyes?
IM LAUGHING SO HARDAYEDDJSJEKEK
rolling at the back of his head
They will arrive in 127 Hours
According to legends, if at any point James Franco ever fully opens his eyes the sun will shine for only 6 weeks more
Chui M Yeah you didn't steal that from the Roast of James Franco, eh.
Ironically this is the best opening ceremony, I loved it😂😂
She's screaming at him internally..."Give me something! ANYTHING!"
I don't think it was bad at all?? It's like some people started calling it bad and everyone is joining? They are such opposites it is actually funny to look at! (The corny lines is part of every oscar hosting, it's part of the entertainment...'
Hihi LalaBoo awesome point of view!
100
It was 143% cringe ..
No I can assure you, I watched this show on that very day and I cringed right at the beginning of their lines.
Oh, come on. It was BAD. Not pilling on here. Has to make you cringe and feel bad for both of them. No chemistry here at all. I actually love Anne and James, but especially in James' case, this is not his forte. The squinting and low-key approach doesn't work in this setting.
Franco looks stoned as fuck
Making it to the end is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life so far. And I'm a middle class Indian student.
😂😂😂
I dont understand what's so bad about Anne. Everyone's hating on her but she's never done anything wrong before. I don't get it.
because her whole personality revolves around pleasing others. she's a boring people-pleaser
Rita Parduzi So we're hating people because they're genuinely nice people who likes to please others now? Wow, this society is more fucked up than I thought. How about we just admit that we're bitter assholes and hate people for pathetic and petty reasons. Anne is amazing.
최이민 we're hating people who are boring with nothing to offer, yeah. nobody wants to be around someone who just agrees with everything they say. sry for wanting to build friendships with people who actually have a personality haha
Rita Parduzi You do realize that ''hate'' is a very strong word right? Maybe it's because you're on the internet, or you're just fucking dumb, but that is NEVER a reason enough to ''hate'' someone, dislike is even too much.
People's personalities are different, who cares if she's a ''people pleaser'' that is a personality in itself, maybe not one that you like but a personality nonetheless, like I said.. how about you stop coming up with petty dumb excuses and just admit that you're a hateful dumb-ass. Next.
Rita Parduzi yeah otherwise a prude
I looked this vid up because of all the jokes that were made in Franco's roast about him hosting the Oscars. It definitely wasn't great but he did his job ok, I don't see how it's even worth mentioning. If you think that the quality of this monologue/dialogue was bad, then blame the writers that came up with this inane, cliche rambling. It's not like Franco improvised it...
I'm probably the only one who found this totally funny 😂😂😂

Yeah but in an ironic way.
Yeah I didn't think it was that bad
Not the funniest but ok
Anne was like an excited child and James was like your drunk uncle who barely remembers the next of what you just said 🥴🍺
They giving Clown vibes
>>I'm probably the only one who found this totally funny
Literally the first thing they both say perfectly summarizes their chemistry lol
James Franco's roast brought me here. I kinda see why he was punished for this...
Yes
Yes
Yes
E I same
Just watched the Roast of James Franco, and this Oscar shit is HILARIOUS!!
same
jjcmark1 I dunno why people gave him some bad reviews in his Oscar hosting. He was great! Would have been irritating as fucked seeing 2 hosts as hyped as Anne Hathaway, was cool having the 2 sides, one calm and "chilled out" lol
I only have one question
Why hasn't Will Smith hosted the Oscars yet?
Because he's black
+Zonda _ I doubt it. Didn't Chris Rock host them this last time?
nigga please
Thats hot thats hot
@@moe2366 nope, the oscars love black people. Black panther even got nominated for best picture this year. Kevin hart was going to be the host this year, he is black.
I sort of liked it as a change for the Oscars and found Anne refreshing.
This had to be one of the most painful videos I have ever watched. That entire video was just plain awkward.
I honestly don't see what was so "bad" about Franco's performance, I think he was being his usual mellow self Logan S
...
watch the situation's roast of donald trump, hard to finish its so bad
It was so awkward and embarrassing that..............I just loved it
They really did something different
Seriously? This was what everybody was hating on? I mean it was not great but it wasn't bad either.
Watch the rest of the ceremony. He gets much, much, worse as it goes along. You can practically see him stop caring around the halfway mark.
dlweiss i've been looking for it. can't find it.
barnumeffect5 anyone know a link?
ahhh fuck it. franco is totally against this shit anyway
Bas Kollen qeliculadeasio
It takes real courage to watch this full
I actually think Franco was pretty funny, he was clearly just like "ah fuck it, its all a joke anyways"
I think Anne gives a fabulous speech. Who else agrees? Don't know why people say she's fake. She seems like a perfectionist.
This was one of the best set designs they ever had. Beautiful.
I love Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman’s friendship
Even Anne said it was bad just watch her on jimmy Fallon
yeah!!!! she did ...
I had a harder time sitting through this than 12 years a slave.

2011: God, no moment in Oscar history can be as awkward as this!
2017: Hold my beer
HAHAHA
2022 hold my jacket
2022 hold my slap
Lol what happened in 2017 again? 2022 clearly wiped the floor with it!
@@reflectsonlife They announced the wrong best picture winner
I honestly don't see what was so "bad" about Franco's performance, I think he was being his usual mellow self
I have a theory that americans don't like her because she looks pure and innocent. It's unfortunate... American society today values the Kim Kardashians, Niki Minajs, sexual, shallow, attention seeking women. I think she is an amazing actrice with a great heart. Being a person who is down to earth and who has a good soul should never be underrated.
Bruna Jermann First of all Anne hath is super hot. Second nikki is trash.
Bruna Jermann also "american society" doesn't value it. The illuminati controlled Hollywood Babylon machine "values" it.
+Bruna Jermann sweet theory bro
I love her as an actress, and I'm American!
+Vault Boy How can you be so sure? Some people are just born pure and innocent... have you seen her hurting a baby or smth?
Seeing this after 10 years actually it's not that bad🤣🤣
At 2:38 Celine Dion wasn't even smiling at a mother's comment.
HAHAHAHAHA WOW!! She looks so scary
jinhyun rose lb
Her and James Franco are both Aries. It's starting to make sense
Love her
So I heard that they did not do well as hosts? Who the eff wrote their lines? Blame them. They were just reading and doing what they were supposed to. Who the eff threw lesbians in their script anyway. Awkward!!!?!
The lesbian part was my favorite D:
Yeah the lesbian part..... just cringe.
Honestly, the lesbian part was probably the funniest for the both of them
The trouble is that the two personalities don't work as a comedy duo. If Seth Rogen had been the one in the dress with Franco, it would have been hilarious!
Anne was great! I wouldn't mind if she came back to host, but pair her with a seasoned comedian or stage actor 🥰🥰🥰
You know, it might seem like this was Jame's fault. But really it was Anne who was bombing because she was too over the top, and I think James realized it and was like "Oh fuck, she's so corny." And then he panicked. You can tell while she's talking he's like "Oh no!"
Lol I agree.. Completely.
I agree especially since he kept saying things like "wow" or making head nods at the end of her lines which were obviously supposed to be jokes and get laughs but fell flat. His attitude felt more like "fuck this." To me the worst was (and I'm paraphrasing here because I'm not going back to watch that disaster again), "It used to be you got naked, you got nominated. But not anymore, not anymore." Then silence. Even he could tell that was painful to get through.
That's just his face. He always looks like he has Dwayne Johnson's dick stuck in his ass.
You think they didn't practice 10-20 times before doing this? He knew what she'd be like.
Hector Giron, that's how he goes by nowadays.
The Oscars NEED Ricky Gervais.
or Frankie Boyle to roast them all
AND THE ACADEMY AWARD FOR THE BEST CRINGE WORTHY DUO GOES TO...
Sathish Hazza ..... ohh... its Sathish and Hazza...
congratulations
aany hatway moviu
Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway
This is like that one time for school plays where you were paired up with the person you hate
Anne is funny, she would be awesome if she had someone else as her co-host.
the academy awkwards
I searched "Oscar fail" and this was the second video to come up
The fact that they’d never worked together and had no chemistry sure didn’t help.
Like if they did this again with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone it’d be amazing.
James did weed and Anne did coke that's why they were so awkward
Honestly, James is just keeping it real.
Jennifer Lawrence before she was JLaw @1:41
City Unseen YES SOMEONE NOTICED
I feel like rewatching this, I keep on thinking to myself "Why are they so many awkward silences?"
