Sorry, I just needed to get that out of the way before I went any further with this post. I am fed up of people bitching about him being 'stoned' while hosting The Academy Awards. Just because he played 'freak' Daniel in Freaks and Geeks (so so hot in this let me add) and Sal the lovable drug dealer in stoner comedy Pineapple Express does not make him a man that is so consumed by marijuana addiction that he would turn up to the most prestigious event in his acting career so far high!. I have smoked a fair amount of weed in my lifetime and know that it would be tremendously difficult to accomplish anything he did that night while on anything except maybe Ritalin. Not only was he hosting the awards, he was actually nominated for best actor, while he is still studying for his masters ant NYU. On top of this he tweeted tweets, pics and live coverage of the show through out the night.
Despite all of this love I have for him and firm believe that he was not high, he was not a good host! Anne Hathaway was dreadful as well - though I really am not fond of her. The opening skits were good and if they could have continued that way through out the night they would have been fine. However nerves got the better of them and they stuttered and fluffed their way through. Highlight of the two of them has to have been Anne's Lanvin tuxedo which was incredible, and James breathing in Oprah's air which apparently Anne is so fond of. The two hosts were upstaged by the majority of award presenters, especially Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr who demonstrated what stage presence actually is. Maybe they should host next year, nothing could be as bad as this year.
Proof that James Franco is actually a devoted and hard working person is demonstrated below in the series of Esquire interviews conducted by James' brother Dave (who was almost cast as Edward Cullen).
