Oscars '11 @ A Glance

The Oscars are over for another year... I thought the telecast was pretty good Hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway didn't do too badly--all things considered Franco did seem a bit more uneasy than  did Hathaway And the banter seemed a bit forced at times. I thought Anne's song about Hugh Jackass was amusing.


I thought the film spoofs worked pretty well...Franco in ballet mode...

Was it a bad idea to have actors host? No, it was spectacularly bad, writes THR's Tim Goodman, who says Franco and Hathaway failed to provide any spark. What other Critics said about the show....
