According Showbizspy, Anne Hathaway has promised not to mock other celebrities at the Academy Awards.
“I can guarantee that if you’re looking for someone to call people out, we’re not your hosts, I think that humor is really difficult to pull off, and I’m not particularly adept at it. I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it.”
“Also, I don’t mean to sound overly serious, but I am the youngest host in history and I have no business being cynical or calling anyone out. I certainly haven’t earned the right to do that.”
“I initially had a knee-jerk reaction, which was ‘no.’ I just focused on all the ways it could go wrong,” she said
“But (show producer) Bruce Cohen was a bit craftier than I had realized because while I was hosting Saturday Night Live in November, while I was loving the idea of hosting something and doing the song-and-dance thing, Bruce came back and said, ‘We have James Franco.’
“James is so brave and so willing to make unconventional choices. All the ways I was worried about it going wrong, it wouldn’t go wrong in any of those ways. It could go wrong in entirely new ways.”
