The Hosts

Seems the Oscars tend to spice things up a bit every once in awhile with new hosts. Big recurring ones in recent times included Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg and Steve Martin, but every so often, they go out on a limb. Take David Letterman!

This year, as you probably know by now, it will be both James Franco and Anne Hathaway. First time in decades that any nominees themselves (Franco for 127 Hours, and Hathaway last year) will also be the hosts. We'll see how that goes... But I'm confident it will work. One of the Producers of the show this year is Bruce Cohen, who also happens to be one of the Producers of American Beauty. 'Nuff said.
