“Love and Other Drugs” star Anne Hathaway admits that Oscars criticism was “tough”

We’ve always had a soft spot for Anne Hathaway here at ShinyStyle – sweet, modest and down to earth, she’s just the right kind of star that we’d all love to be best friends with. Which is why hearing her speak out about how it felt to recieve so much criticism over her performance at the Oscars made us want to make her a cup of Horlicks and give her a big cuddle.

The lovely doe-eyed actress had to present the opening of the Oscars with heartthrob actor James Franco, and their back-and-forth banter was awkward to say the least (you can see the video here) – though we think that the actress did the best she could with the awful lines she was given, bless her, and was a real trooper about it, others have heavily criticised both the actress and the producers for her clumsy, not-particularly-funny presenting style. I suppose it’s a hard act to follow when Ricky Gervais is your predecessor..

Poor old Anne finally spoke out about her experiences at the Oscars on the Today show: “The critics were tough. They said we were the worst show ever. I think that qualifies as tough.” When asked if she’d do it again, the actress replied, “Maybe. Perhaps. No.” We’ll take that as a definite no, the poor duck.

Don’t worry Anne, we still love you!
