If James Franco Was Stoned at the Oscars, Donald Glover is Cool With That

The world has used this week to get their licks in on James Franco following his sleepy performance as Oscar co-host, but not Donald Glover. “It was pretty funny to watch somebody as high as Franco [host the Oscars],” the Community star joked to Vulture . “Was he not? Was he not high? Can you watch and be like, ‘That dude was totally sober!’ When they called his name out he literally gave the thumbs-up.” Whether Franco was addled or not — absolutely not , according to his reps — Glover plans on following in his perceived footsteps as host of the mtvU Woodie Awards at SXSW later this month. “If I’m not high [at the Woodies], it’ll be a problem.” [ Vulture ]

What it Really Means When Michael Cera Runs

“Michael Cera runs. He runs in Superbad , escaping the police with his friend Jonah Hill, and he runs in Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist , after a derelict played by Andy Samberg verbally assaults him on the steps of downtown Manhattan’s Grace Church. For all his running, never once is Cera chasing anybody. (The closest he comes is in Juno : just after crossing the finish line and failing to locate Juno in the stands, he runs to the hospital where Juno is giving birth.) He is never the pursuer. But then again, he is rarely the pursued. In Nick and Norah , nobody chases after him when he runs away, and in Youth in Revolt he is pursued only by a phantom, an id he cannot vanquish and is not sure he wants to. That is the essence of his running: a contest with himself, a test to see if he can become a man — if he can, to use the term of art, man up .” Now you know. [ The Believer via Looker ]
