In an interview with Playboy magazine, James Franco has finally opened up about the Oscars and why he believes it did not go well.

“It’s hard to talk about because it’s like assigning blame, not a fun thing to do,” said the actor. “For three or four weeks we shot the promos and the little film that played in the opening. I said to the producer, ‘I don’t know why you hired me, because you haven’t given me anything. I just don’t think this stuff’s going to be good.’”

Franco was apparently not fond of the idea of dressing up like Marilyn Monroe saying, “I was so pissed about that I was deliberately going to fall onstage and hopefully my dress would fall off or something — they couldn’t blame that on me; I was in high heels.”

“I just didn’t want to fight anymore, even when they said, ‘You’ll come out as Marilyn Monroe. It’ll be funny.’ Me in drag is not funny,” argued Franco.

The millions of those watching at home seemed to have felt the same way.

Franco continues that although his performance came off as unenthusiastic that was not his intention saying, “I thought, ‘Okay Anne is going the enthusiastic route. I’ve been trained as an actor to respond to circumstances, to the people I’m working with, and not force anything.’ So I thought I would be the straight man and she could be the other, and that’s how I was trying to do those lines.”

The actor knew that the night would be a flop adding, “I felt kind of trapped in that material. I felt, This is not my boat. I’m just a passenger, but I’m going down and there’s no way out.”

James Franco and Anne Hathaway have moved on with their careers and to be honest who really remembers these ceremonies anyways?

Give it a few years and no one will even remember they hosted.
