Anne Hathaway More Likable Than James Franco at Oscars, Research Survey Shows

A national survey of 241 viewers conducted by San Francisco Bay Area’s Q & A Research found that 36 percent of those surveyed gave Hathaway a very good to excellent rating to just 19 percent for Franco. 

 

Half of viewers (51 percent) want her back as host, while 26 percent wish to see Franco return.

 

A third of those surveyed (34 percent) voiced that this year’s presentation was worse than previous broadcasts of the event.

 

Franco admitted his performance was lackluster in a recent interview with David Letterman. “Maybe I had low energy,” he said. “I honestly played those lines as well as I could.”
