Franco and Hathaway to co-host Oscars

[Sunday, December 05, 2010]
James Franco and Anne Hathaway will co-host the 83rd Oscars.

The prestigious Academy Awards are due to take place on 27 February next year.

Hathaway was nominated for the best actress Oscar last year for her performance in Rachel Getting Married. Franco is being tipped to receive an Oscar nomination this year for his performance in Danny Boyle's gruelling film 127 Hours, musicrooms.net reports.

Oscars producer Don Mischer said: "What we have here are two really emerging talents who are very respected and are going to have, I think, magnificent careers.

"They deserve to be there, they've got the chops to be there, they want to be there, and I think that's going to make the audience really relate to them."
