There is a chance Franco will be nominated for 127 Hours. Possibly might win too. This will just allow him backstage access to the envelope to insure his victory

An odd decision for the Oscars. No sir, I don't like it.

It does reek a little of "Hey, look at us! We're relevant!"

Well, this'll be the first time we'll have Oscar hosts under the age of 40.

Hey, it's the Hath.
Probably watch it for the Hath.

I really don't care about the Oscars either way (for all sorts of other reasons) but clearly this was a maneuver to try to appeal to a younger demo. No real mystery to it.

I don't think it'll work. If they want to attract younger viewers, they have to not be the Oscars. By and large, the movies that younger demo enjoys simply aren't Oscar nominees. At least not for the big awards.
I think it's a bad idea. Actors make bad presenters when all they have to do is introduce the nominees. This'll will be the first time that I can remember that a comic isn't the host...and I think it's a bad move.

The man is a class act and looks good in drag. I might actually check this out.

You may be right. But as for me I don't watch the Oscars anyway. I probably won't watch it with these two hosting it either, but at least they aren't going to make me watch it any LESS than I already do. |

Franco is awesome, but I don't watch award shows.

He was pretty good (and, in fact, pulled Hathaway on stage to sing briefly in the opening number), but then again, Jackman is a huge theater man, so he has experience playing it to the backrows and would seem a more natural fit then more straight ahead actors.

Is the MTV Movie Awards even that relevent anymore ? 
Franco is a funny dude and a talented improv actor, he'll do fine.
Hathaway is another story....
