'The critics were tough'
So what if her presentation as the host of the ‘83rd Annual Academy Awards’ alongside James Franco was criticised?
Actress Anne Hathaway is still very proud that she got the golden chance to host such a prestigious event. Hathaway says she felt “so much joy” while hosting the Oscars.
“The experience was so big. The bigness of it was so overwhelming. But at the same time I felt so much joy to be a part of movie history. You know, the critics were tough. They said ours was the worst show ever. I think that qualifies as tough,” she said.
However, the ‘Princess Diaries’’ star has not taken the criticism to heart. “I think about the Oscars as several different experiences. There was the critical reaction, which was awful.
Then there are those who have been coming up to me and saying, ‘I thought it was fantastic. I watched it with my family and we were entertained’. I am very grateful to those people.”
“And then there is my memory of it — which is, whether it was great or not, who knows? I still got to walk out of the Los Angeles’ Kodak Theatre and see those people and someday I’ll get to tell my grandchildren about it,” she added.
