Lame looking

I just happened to stumble across a small portion of the Academy Awards last night.  I saw James Franco doing some presenting.  I immediately wondered who the host of the awards was this year.  Normally it is some sort of comedian although I think last year they went out of bounds and had Hugh Jackman host.

Well then I see Anne Hathaway come out and also present.  After a few minutes it becomes apparent that James and Anne are THE hosts of the show??  WTF?  I wonder whose bright idea that was?  They were pleasant enough but it certainly seemed like a totally underwhelming choice to host what is supposed to be THE big deal in Hollywood. I think in total I may have watched 11 minutes of the show.  I just don’t care about it.  Jimmy and Annie did nothing to change my feeling about that.  It was sort of like if you had Jessica Simpson do the Superbowl halftime show.

I heard some reviews of the broadcast this morning and they were pretty much all negative.  If the people that organize the awards thought they did a good job in the host selection department I would suggest the people doing the selecting are re-selected.

I thought Anne looked good.  James looked very creepy and harsh.  He looks older than his 32 or 33 years.
