Anne Hathaway pokes fun at her terrible Oscars gig with perfect Instagram caption
No one remembers Anne Hathaway's terrible Oscars hosting gig better than Anne Hathaway.
The Academy Award-winning actress hosted with James Franco in 2011, and was widely panned by critics and audiences for it.
However, self-aware queen Hathaway posted the perfect Oscars throwback, poking fun at her own hosting gig ahead of Sunday's ceremony.
"No matter what happens with today's show, just remember, it's already been worse," she captioned her Instagram post. "Happy Oscars!"
Hathaway's "no matter what happens" comment is no doubt referring to the Academy's decision to go hostless for this year's ceremony. It came after the controversy surrounding Kevin Hart's hosting, with a string of old homophobic tweets from the star leading to his stepping down from the post.
In a recent interview, Hathaway told People that Franco had convinced her to take the gig, even though she'd already said no.
"Can I dish some tea?” she said. “I turned that gig down, and James is the one that convinced me to do it."
