The producers of the 83rd Academy Awards have chosen a pair of young actors to amuse a theatre full of the Hollywood elite and millions of viewers worldwide.
Thirty-two-year-old James Franco and 28-year-old Anne Hathaway will co-host the Oscars in February.
“James Franco and Anne Hathaway personify the next generation of Hollywood icons – fresh, exciting and multi-talented,” producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer said in a press release on Monday.
“We hope to create an Oscar broadcast that will both showcase their incredible talents and entertain the world on February 27. We are completely thrilled that James and Anne will be joining forces with our brilliant creative team to do just that.”
Both have a good chance of being nominated for awards themselves – Franco for the survival drama 127 Hours and Hathaway for Love and Other Drugs.
The Academy Awards will broadcast live from the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles on February 27.
