When Anne Hathaway and James Franco hosted the Academy Awards 10 years ago, it was met with a luke-warm reception.
Writers behind the 2011 Oscars ceremony have revealed the inside story behind what was regarded as “the worst Oscar telecasts in history”.
Wild revealed that Franco and Hathaway were not the first choice for co-hosts, with the producers initially keen for Justin Timberlake to take on the duty.
This month’s Oscars ceremony will be the third consecutive year that the awards show has no host.
