Ah! The Oscars! The awards ceremony that means absolutely piss-all to anyone apart from those who make posters for films and rental DVDs. Having ‘Oscar Winner’ on your blurb makes you look like you know what you’re doing, even if you won the award for providing the best prosthetic ears or something.
Anyway, Tinseltown is getting all excited in preparation for the event as are, presumably, the various cocaine dealers in the vicinity.
But who will present the awards? Well, you’ll be thrilled to learn that it is none-other than Anne Hathaway and James Franco! You know? Those two. They uh… umm… their names are familiar aren’t they? Are they in that vampire show? No?
Well, Hathaway and Franco will be the two actors (we know that much for certain – that they’re actors) who got the official co-hosting nod from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
However, it could be tricky as Hathaway may also be on the voting ballots for her role in Love and Other Drugs. Franco might be up for an award for his turn in 127 Hours.
Unless, of course, this is a clarion call to those in the industry – get the hosting gig and you’re definitely not winning shit. That said, loads of hosts may have won Oscars, even though they were presenting the show. We wouldn’t know and don’t really care.
We’re just relaying this information to you in the grasping hope that you might find it even remotely interesting. You don’t do you? Damn.
One thing is for certain – this pairing will be better than last years. Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were pretty rubbish when they hosted the event. At least Hathaway and Franco are really good looking, so if all else fails, they can simply stand there looking attractive.
The Oscars happens on February 27th, so expect loads of rubbish sites and magazines to fill your eyes of people in swanky dresses and gowns.
