VIDEO : James Franco Speaks Out on Backlash From Oscars Hosting Gig with Anne Hathaway

James Franco and Anne Hathaway were not a match made in heaven. The stars were ripped to shreds after co-hosting the 2011 Oscars, with Roger Ebert writing that Franco looked like " a deer-in-the-headlights " and The Hollywood Reporter's Tim Goodman arguing that the two actors were responsible for "one of the worst Oscar telecasts in history." Five years later, in the April 18, 2016 issue of New York, Franco reflected on the 83rd Annual Academy Awards. Franco said neither he nor Hathaway were entirely to blame for the poorly reviewed show. "I think one of the things that happens in film and television and performance-based things is that people will criticize the performers because they're the face of the piece." He continued saying, "We didn't write the script. In other cases, someone like Steve Martin or Chris Rock will probably have a bigger hand in the writing of the thing, but Anne and I did not."
