Could a Franco-Hathaway Oscars Be a Good Thing?

Movieline spewed some necessary skepticism following AMPAS’ announcement that James Franco and Anne Hathaway will host the Oscars this year. It’s kind of weird. Two super-young stars with (some) Oscar buzz this year? Confounding. But let’s remain open to the possibility that the surprise plan may be a good one.
