Azerbaijan, Republic of -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Nov 30, 2010 -- On Monday Oscar telecast producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer announced that James Franco and Anne Hathaway will cohost the 83rd Academy Awards.

James Franco and Anne Hathaway personify the next generation of Hollywood icons -- fresh, exciting and multi-talented. We hope to create an Oscar broadcast that will both showcase their incredible talents and entertain the world on February 27," Oscar telecast producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer said.

Though Cohen and Mischer praised Franco and Hathaway, people still believe that is a little bit strange selection and doubt will Franco and Hathaway raise the rate of 83rd annual Academy Awards ceremony?

The doubt is quiet reasonable. First of all, Most of Academy Awards ceremony were hosted by comedians, such as Steve Martin, Ellen DeGeneres, Chris Rock, Jon Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal, David Letterman. The only exception was 2008 Oscar ceremony hosted by Hugh Jackman. With these comedians' help the ceremonies filled with laughters, the rate was also satisfied producers. For example audience of the 82nd annual Academy Awards ceremony hosted by Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin raised 14% to 36 millions peoples. Franco and Hathaway seldom play comedy, could they make audience burst into laugh? If not, the rate will be in a critical point.

Secondly, although Franco and Hathaway are lack of experience thogh they have made previous appearances on the Oscars. Hathaway joined host Hugh Jackman for a song-and-dance number two years ago, and Franco, who has shown off his hosting skills on Saturday Night Live, has appeared as a presenter. Academy Awards ceremony is one of the most important entertainment award, it will attract millions of people from all over the world. So, it is debatable that will Franco and Hathway give a great academy ceremony.

Furthermore, the possiblity of the two to win Oscar award will dropped. Because it is rare that the host also win the award, AMPAS will try to avoid the awkward situation. Critics believe that Franco is a shoe-in for his incredible work in'127 Hours' and Hathaway is a dark horse contender for Love and Other Drugs.

Franco and Hathaway are not comedian and short of experience, but it is the reasons that will attract audience enjoy a different 83rd Academy Awards ceremony on February 27. Though critics and doubts appears, we still wish the ceremony could be resplendent.
