Anne Hathaway jumped the insufferable shark last night...

Anyone else tired of her "wow, me" stuff? The return to the microphone to thank the manager of 14 years was the height of ego. She seems to believe she has accomplished something mighty in Les Miz. She's in the film for 12 minutes.

• I was expecting her to declare herself as a lesbian too when she did that.

  Stunt Queen

• [quote] She's in the film for 12 minutes. So fucking WHAT? She's an A-list star in a major film. Are Judi Dench and Beatrice Straight less deserving of Oscars too? Guess what OP? You're an insufferable twat. Seriously, you're spamming this site with Anne Hathaway posts. You are the one who's obsessed. F&F all new Anne Hathaway threads. Worse than Prancing Ponies and soap threads combined.

• Her speech was programmed to hit every Oscar voter button: 1) Humble me....Check 2) My mom played this part...check 3) tip hat to Oscar mighty (Sally) ....check 4) we created ART!....check She couldn't have been more false.

• F&F for OP. ENOUGH.

• Exactly what could she have said that you wouldn't criticize, r3.

• What would have been a more appropriate speech then, R4?

• [quote]She's an A-list star in a major film. She's not A-list. Most people have never heard of her.

• I remember when Anne first hit people talked about how more 'real' this one was. I was at the Trevor Project's Cracked Xmas and she auctioned herself off and seemed like such a fun girl. But all of them...the nice ones, the fake ones, the 'real' ones, the mean ones...they're all actors. It will always be about 'me me me me me' -- some of them just make eye contact with the schulbs and really mean it when they say thank you.

• r2, take your meds. She's just an actress. And a B+ one at that.

• OK, R2: F&F for you (even though you sound like a longtimer, and I almost never F&F those). You appear to have been here long enough to know when you lecture or dictate, DL does the opposite of your wishes.

• Get over it, fer Chrissake.

• r10, the spamming here is insane. You've got some nerve telling me I dictate when DL goes opposite my wishes when there are 6 troll posts about Anne Hathaway on DL right now. Point a finger at me and a finger gets pointed right back at you. But at least I'm not a troll.

• There aren't six troll posts. What are you writing about? But here's why I agree with OP. I'm an industry vet, and you can tell a certain desperation that creeps into an actor when he/she has given themselves the "whatever" it takes to win the medal mode. They don't understand how bald and shallow the hunger is. ("...a blunt instrument..." please) Particularly in Hollywood created star actresses, you see it every three years or so...(Zellwegger, Roberts, etc...) It's the "I must be anointed princess" theory, and all the publicists and all the media join in. It doesn't matter if there's any real talent or if the part deserves it. It's all about "isn't she our daughter, and she's done her time, and she's so sweet..." etc etc. The Golden Globes always falls for it, and the Oscars often do. It's also heavily dependent on how much $ the actors' films have made, and on that score, some people owe Hathaway some favors. I think her speech last night and her subsequent "OH, I have to thank my manager" hurt her Oscar chances. She just wasn't appealing.

• It's interesting why she's so desperate for one. She's only 30. This is only her second nomination. Is she so scared that this will be her only chance at the brass ring?

• Well she played Mary Poppins with an std, so she's okay with me.

• Meh, let her get one. Then she will probably be having lunch with Mercedes Ruehl and Mira Sorvino soon enough.

• Well, she mentioned that her mom was in Les Miz on stage, so maybe she knows how fleeting it all really can be...

• The look on Sally Field's face when she brought up "The Flying Nun" was priceless. She was NOT amused.

• Wait, who hasn't heard of Anne Hathaway? Just because you don't like her doesn't mean she isn't famous!

• [quote]It's interesting why she's so desperate for one. She's only 30. Jennifer Lawrence is 22 and about to win her first Oscar. As Best Actress. That's gotta burn a girl like Anne.

• Whoa. She really did mention the Flying Nun. What the? It just comes off as passive aggressive shade throwing - and desperate. It's so hard to keep giving her the benefit of the doubt.

• [quote]Wait, who hasn't heard of Anne Hathaway? Millions of people. She's not THAT famous. She's well-known, yes, but she's not Angelina Jolie or Oprah or Hillary Clinton. She's in the second tier of fame, not the first.

• [quote]Jennifer Lawrence is 22 and about to win her first Oscar Disturbing. She has virtually no acting ability. The Oscars like to award one pretty actress after another who isn't worthy (eg. Gwyneth Paltrow, Natalie Portman etc.)

• Ridiculous, R23. Jennifer Lawrence is already a previous Oscar nominee and she was great in SLP. Also, it's an award for the BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR, not a lifetime achievement award.

• I'm pretty sure MOST people who are even fairly acquainted with movies knows who Anne Hathaway is. The comparison to Hillary Clinton is just odd.

• R25, my point was that Anne Hathaway does not feature on the list of most prominent or recognized women in the world that comes out every year. Women like Angelina Jolie, The Queen of England, Oprah, Hillary Clinton & others DO.

• Anne Hathaway is an A-list actor. Certainly at the top of the heap of actresses around her age. Comparing her to the Queen of fucking England is the most ridiculous of straw man arguments since nobody else was comparing her to such! She's an American A-list actress. That's it!

• If you thought this speech was bad you should have seen her at the Critics Choice Awards when she used her acceptance speech to chastise whoever was doing the teleprompter for spelling her name incorrectly.

• R27, someone above (maybe you?) was saying that EVERYONE knows who she is. I was simply pointing out that there are far more famous women in the world than her.

• [quote]someone above (maybe you?) was saying that EVERYONE knows who she is. My you must be VERY literal if you can't identify that that poster didn't mean, literally every single person in the world knows how Anne Hathaway is. She's very famous. She's A-list. Get over it. God, and I don't even LIKE AnnE Hathaway.

• "How gauche..."

• Okay, the references to the "Princess Diaries" and the gabbling during the "Best Picture" acceptance were slightly annoying, but she still only rated about one-third of a Paltrow on the Datalounge Annoying Actress Scale. Get a grip. She just isn't in the big leagues yet.

• She's beginning to rival Taylor Swifty's OH MY GOD I WON faces.

• She's always going on about the Princess Diaries but I never really hear anybody talk about that vis a vis her career or how it 'held her back.'

• The tide has officially turned after her speech last night. Many older AMPAS members, which is basically most of them, are furious that she shoved The Flying Nun in Sally Field's face. It's one thing for the actress herself to bring it up, but since it is such a sore point and embarassment for Field, it just smacked of cruelty and sadism on Hathaway's part. And don't defend her by saying she was paying homage. With homages like that, who needs enemies?

• [quote]Many older AMPAS members, which is basically most of them, are furious Link please. Evidence?

• Can Amy Adams now win, please?

• I thought Amy Adams was over. How did she get an Oscar nomination?

  Matthew%20Goode%2C%20%27Leap%20Year%27%20co-star

• I'm beginning to understand why every time I hear her talk, I want to slap the shit out of her. She's just so gosh-darned earnest while she's insulting people to make herself look good.

• It's well-known in Hollywood that actors don't like being reminded of embarrassing roles and movies from their past. That's why Sally Field look stunned last night when Ann started babbling about The Flying Nun. I'm surprised she didn't mention "Smokey and the Bandit" why she was at it.

• But what difference does it really make, R40? It's not like Sally Field is a failed B-movie actor. She's a Two-Time Oscar winner. When you've achieved that, you can laugh at your early mistakes.

• Why didn't Anne also mention Gidget while she was at it?

• [quote]She's not A-list. Most people have never heard of her. Oh, dear.

• Amy Adams over? She's on her 4th Oscar nomination, will probably be nominated next year. Plus she'll be Lois Lane in a little movie called Man of Steel this summer.

• She's definitely worse than Hitler. I'll give you that.

• Jennifer Lawrence will lose to Riva or Chastain.

• [quote]Millions of people. She's not THAT famous. She's well-known, yes, but she's not Angelina Jolie or Oprah or Hillary Clinton. Fine, you're right, the millions of people who missed the last decade of popular movies and award shows would be unfamiliar with Anne Hathaway.

• I heard she saws the heads off of gerbils. And that pixie cut from last night's awards? Oi vey!

• [quote]She's the biggest actress in the world right now Are you serious?

  Jennifer%20Lawrence

• [quote]She's on her 4th Oscar nomination, will probably be nominated next year. What will she be nominated for next year?

• [quote]Amy Adams over? She's on her 4th Oscar nomination Has it really been that many? I hadn't noticed. Probably because most Americans wouldn't know who she was if they tripped over her at the Supermarket.

• I think the amount of negative talk here about her is perfectly in proportion to the absurd public push that has happened. The talk has been for almost eight months non-stop about how she had the Oscar in the bag. It's profoundly insulting to the other actresses that gave arguably better performances, and that's why she's getting pushback here. The pro-Anne trolls need to get over it. When she is no longer declared the predetermined winner and doesn't appear so desperate in public and performance persona, then maybe there won't be so much noise, but for now, you Anne shills are just going to have to deal with the fact that we don't like her. We really, really don't.

• [quote]Has it really been that many? I hadn't noticed. Probably because most Americans wouldn't know who she was if they tripped over her at the Supermarket. Gotta love DL. If you recognize her you would be calling her a famewhore. If not, she gets a snippy little dismissive remark like this.

• [quote]What will she be nominated for next year? She's got another David O. Russell movie with Christian Bale plus the Janis Joplin biopic.

• "I think the amount of negative talk here about her is perfectly in proportion to the absurd public push that has happened." Yes, she's been all over the media for the last couple of months, promoting the hell out of "Les Miz". But she really did need to do that - it was a hell of a chancy project and she was the most famous person involved, and any studio would expect her to do a lot of publicity. And any studio would also push a "prestige" project like that for all the Oscars in the world, including one for the extremely famous person doing a supporting role. So hate if you're going to hate, but don't pretend that she's done anything unusual in publicizing her film and wanting an Oscar.

• As the resident DL essayist, I'm considering the title for my next piece to be: Ann Hathaway: How Dropping an E Made Us Low: The Anti-Love Story of America's Chicklet Toothed Princess.

• OP She was delightful. I like everything about her. It was a nice acceptance speech unlike when Gwyneth Paltrow gushed at the Oscars. I can't watch Paltrow with out thinking what a spoiled entitled brat.

• [quote]But she really did need to do that - it was a hell of a chancy project and she was the most famous person involved, and any studio would expect her to do a lot of publicity. That's arguable. I tend to think Russell Crowe is more famous.

• "Sally, I think about all the crones you've helped with your Boniva commercials and I'm amazed and inspired."

  Ann

• OP doesn't know what "jump the shark" means. And Hathaway is A-Lisf. Probably higher than Jolie. Hathaway was Cat Woman for chrissakes. What has Jolie done lately?

• R62, a Hollywood publicist would have considered both Crowe and Jackman to be has-beens before this film was released, Hathaway would be the hot property after her success in "Batman". So she would be asked, expected, to do some heavy lifting on the publicity front. And if they pushed her for an Oscar, that would be considered to be a good way to promote the film, and an appropriate "Thank you" to someone who'd done all the aspects of her job so well. So tell me, is Crowe still a has-been or not?

• It's not like DL has a pet hatred of this woman. Here are some other comments about her at the GG

  http://www.celebitchy.com/273939/anne_hathaway_in_white_chanel_at_the_golden_globes_lovely_or_annoying/#comments

• She was the butt of some pretty pointed jokes last night (even reporters in the press room were snarking on her on Twitter).

• Why was she mauling Amanda Seyfried throughout the producer's acceptance speech when Les Miz won best comedy/musical?

• [quote]What has Jolie done lately? Well, apart from the fact that Jolie is already an Oscar winner and multiple nominee, she's been a UN ambassador and is part of the most famous celebrity couple on the planet.

• Anne Hathaway's face is aesthetically difficult to look at. Her features are too bold for that tiny head of her's and that pixie haircut only accentuates them.

• I found r70's OK Cupid profile picture!

  http%3A//sportssmash.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/2_uglypeople.jpg

• R68 Because she brushed her aside about 5 seconds before. Anne has done that a couple of times during the last month. Then realizes people are watching.

• R71 that's pretty damn close to how Anne Hathaway looked to me last night.

• Jennifer Lawrence is getting read for filth by some outlets over the Streep joke. My favorite by Nikki Finke: This young gal already knows how Hollywood really works. “Harvey, thank you for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here today.” But she shouldn’t have taken Saint Streep’s name in vain. (“I beat Meryl…”) Commenter believes Jennifer was quoting the lines from The First Wives Club. Jeez, even I’m not old enough to remember that moldy oldie comedy from 1996

• [quote]I think her speech last night and her subsequent "OH, I have to thank my manager" hurt her Oscar chances. I think the general raving about her performance will hurt her too. The Academy likes to get contrary, which means they will inevitably wind up giving her an Oscar for some totally shit role, as a make good. They're all as bad as each other. I think she's really on thin ice for a deserved Oscar. It was a memorable performance, whether your loathe her big mouth or not.

• R42 Because Gidget doesn't bother Sally Field, The Flying Nun does. It's the role that she's ashamed she was forced to do.

• R34 Because Ann is the only one that brings it up or even cares. Anything that can give her a "ME ME ME" moment.

• What is so bad about The Flying Nun?

• Finke is an idiot. Lawrence even added the "What does it say?" just like Midler in the film. It was funny. The Harvey Weinstein jab was more outrageous, and got a bigger laugh.

• Anne thinks she's ascended from 'entertainment' to 'art'. Hence the Flying Nun analogy. Pretentious self regarding madam.

• [quote]OP doesn't know what "jump the shark" means. And Hathaway is A-Lisf. Probably higher than Jolie. Hathaway was Cat Woman for chrissakes. What has Jolie done lately? Whatever.

• I agree, she's a CUNT!

• I've not seen Les Miz but Anne's rendition of the Dream song sounded like a parody SNL skit. Does she really scream "HE TOOK MY CHILDHOOD IN HIS STRIDE!"?

• enough about this ugly, overrated bitch!

• R78 Sally hated the show because 1) the show was cheesy and she hated it 2) she was young and led to believe if she didn't do it, she'd never work again 3) it made her a laughing stock and would take her years to recover from the idea, both by the public and the industry, that that was all she could do.

• Oh and Ann knew all of the above in R85 and knew that Sally hates any mention of the show and still made the comment... making her a transparent cunt.

• It isn't just negative talk here....it is all over twitter too.

• I agree with R85. In interviews, Sally F. has opened up about about her disappointment over The Flying Nun decades after the fact, so that information has been out in the public for a while. I'm sure she has a sense of humor about it and can laugh at herself, but the real question is why did Anne bring it up at all? Anne and Sally F. are not equal peers. It's yet another instance of Anne's poor judgment from within whatever theater bubble she's in, or worse - it's a sadistic last grab for AA votes using free association "anchors": You don't rally want to cast your vote for The Flying Nun do you?! Here Anne just comes off like any jealous cutthroat bitch at a cocktail mixer throwing subliminal shade.

• R21, in that clip, when Anne singles out Sally for "being a vanguard against typecasting," is Helen Hunt's smirk one of, "God, is this bitch for real?" I noticed during that roundtable thing, she sat next to Hathaway and seemed to be annoyed by her.

• do you have a link to this round table thing r89?

• worse than any speech was anne trying to look humble with her sitting in the audience reaction shots. She was so bad at it, that any acting award should be snatched away immediately.

• She was just nervous, y'all. Give it a rest.

• why should we listen to you r92?

• I would LOVE to see Anne play Judy Garland in a biopic.

• it's been done r94....

• she's twee

• You're right R98 I forgot. There's a pap. shot of her on the street wearing animal gloves.

• ITA that the flying nun mention was a "mean girl" backhanded complement. It would be like someone unnecessarily mentioning that a nobel prize winner, "bless her heart," once worked the ho stroll to make a buck. What. A. Bitch.

• It really does come down to "is that bitch for real?" I think she is. Real. Unfortunately. There are people who just have really bad timing, make out of place statements, display transparent childish humility and all out awkward prissy goofiness. I think Anne is one of those. Socially uncool. A bit of a loser, not so bright. Unbearable, but not mean in her hardy heart. Hart. She could survive a ten year abduction and marry and have twins soon after. What she said about Sally Field made me spit and yet I don't think she intended to be a bitch or disrespectful. She has zero finesse or insight. The princess diary movies, two mainstream big budget introducing "Anne" films are similar to her as the Gidget and the Flying Nun whatever they were on the TV for old Sally. She is a lot like Paltrow as many say. But she is more humble with even less self awareness. Fashion plate? Paltrow is way more elegant at the least. Better actress too. Better singer. Sally Field must be a better actress than Hathaway, but I refuse to sit long enough to judge. Anne was given the Oscar part, I guess? I love Les Miz, yes I do, but would never go see a film of it. Me and my man made out heavy at the play. Twice. Second time I cried. These collective experiences will get Anne her Oscar. Fantine makes people cry. Hathaway is kind of gauche, a word I am too young for but there isn't a better one. Nerd. Creepy. Obnoxious. Icky girly and not cool. Silk socks and no sex as we italian boys say. I know that all actors are self important but only a truly inadequate personality can attempt graciousness while exuding entitlement and superiority. I don't like the word bitch, but that chick is fucking dreadful and hideous in her awkwardness. Tough boy rolls his eyes. I agree with someone upthread - let Anne have her place with Zelwegger and Jennifer Hudson and Monique. She will win the supporting Oscar. This one and never another. She is not talented enough or insightful enough to do better. Her roles have been crazy bad. Jennifer Lawrence will also win the Oscar and we will hear the fiction of her beauty repeated as many times as the fiction of Hathaway's greatness. My ass is better than that statue. Give everything to Julianne Moore for Christ sake. That woman is a real actress.

• I think the Flying Nun comment was really just ignorant and stupid, not a mean girl comment. Remember, she's in a bubble, and thinks of Sally Field as inspiring, why not mention any old thing that contributes to the argument that Field has a large range?

• [quote]The princess diary movies, two mainstream big budget introducing "Anne" films are similar to her as the Gidget and the Flying Nun whatever they were on the TV for old Sally. Hathaway comparing her two PRINCESS DIARIES movies with Field's first two TV roles is not the same thing. GIDGET and THE FLYING NUN were fluff and made Field an industry joke. It took her years to get over that stigma, which she finally did with the telefilm SYBIL. And even then, she had to fight for the role. Whereas PRINCESS DIARIES and its sequel were major motion pictures and big hits, and put Hathaway on the map. I don't understand why she bitches about these movies. They have never been a millstone in her career, like GIDGET and THE FLYING NUN were to Field. She has worked various genres, even dramas not long after PRINCESS DIARIES. Nobody cares that she was in a Disney princess movie.

• um, you kind of missed and made my point. r103

• Reading this thread, I think its fascinating that the narcissism and vanity that used to thrill us in movie stars (Taylor, Monroe) is now completely off-putting to the culture at large. We know too much now, and we also know that an actor like Hathaway hasn't made that much of a contribution, so her self-importance feels strange and off-putting. In today's media age, when we can see them drinking their own kool-aid, they're ridiculous.

• I still don't understand why everyone considers The Flying Nun to be so awful. If Ann really wanted to be crass she could have mentioned Sally's Boniva commercials.

• Sally really blew Ann the kiss of death.

• Let's be honest -- the GGs are really the final callback for the Oscars. It's a chance to see who looks "presidential." Jennifer Laerence, Jessica Chastain passed. Ann failed. The moment she did that to Sally not only did I think "you've just lost the Oscar" but I also thought she was trying to steal Sally's 3 decade-old narrative. And Sally STILL has a better narrative with Lincoln: she is 20 years older than MTL AND she's 10 years older (11, really) than DDL. That is a triumph in itself! And her performance has been justly praised - she didn't just sit there feeling sorry for herself for 5 min. In a single take, she fought for her role and held her own opposite DDL. I think the SAG award will be hers. If SAG, especially the female members, doesn't celebrate Sally's triumph - promotion of which only behooves them and builds upon the longevity that has changed perceptions and been won by Meryl Streep and the women of SATC. Lastly would somebody please create a ,gif of Ann Hathaway getting mowed down by a truck? Pretty please?

• I would actually be a little surprised now if AH wins that Oscar.

• [quote]Let's be honest -- the GGs are really the final callback for the Oscars. It's a chance to see who looks "presidential." Jennifer Laerence, Jessica Chastain passed. Ann failed. ^^This Sally Hawkins won almost every best actress award from the critics for "Happy Go Lucky", when she won the globe, went on stage, looked anorexic and was soo nervous that Emma Thompson asked her if she needed help, she was toast. She failed to get an oscar nomination a couple of weeks later.

• R102, it was the height of arrogance to stand on stage with an award and to remind the beloved actress she bested of her most embarrassing moment in show business. Sally even said during the THR Roundtable that the lowest point of The Flying Nun was when she was talked into "flying" on stage at the Golden Globes and she said she was too young and inexperienced to say no - and that she just wanted to be respected. Why Ann Hathaway thinks starring in two big budget Disney movies about a princess was some hardship for a 17 year-old actress is beyond me. And right in front of Jodie Foster who proudly describes herself as "a Disney girl" and continued to make Disney films after she was nominated for an Oscar for Taxi Driver (her 2nd film with Scorsese). I mean, bitch please. And with Amy Adams in the same category who memorably played a Disney princess in Enchanted. Plus, her timing was all off anyway. The time to whine about Princess Diaries - if there ever was a time - would've been during Rachel Getting Married. She's already been nominated for a Best Actress Oscar! What's her beef? Ann is a social retard. Not to mention, Ann Hathaway is probably attached to a big screen remake of The Flying Nun. That's right in her wheelhouse. I would love to see it as long as her Sister Bertrille gets run over by a jumbo jet. They could call it One Day With The Flying Nun.

• Ann Hathaway wasn't even ALIVE during The Flying Nun! She wasn't even born until 1982!

• It's all right if Sally wants to diss The Flying Nun but it's not for other people to bring up or speak to. It's a bit like telling someone who asks if they look fat, "Yes." Only much worse.

• Hathaway is Hollywood's Tracy Flick.

• R111 Absolutely correct. For anyone to think that Ann didn't know exactly what she was doing has blinders on. As you mentioned, she sat there at the Round Table and listened to Sally talk about how the Flying Nun was one of the worst periods of her life. And everyone knows Sally doesn't like to talk about it or even have the name of the show mentioned. Ann is an idiot and no one ever brings up the Princess Diaries except for her.

• The only way I think they should give Ann Hathaway an Oscar is if they take one off the table and bludgeon her to death with it. She is insufferable.

• R113 Well, Sally really doesn't diss The Flying Nun because she really doesn't even talk about it.

• Sally and Anne don't deserve to be respected because they think too highly of themselves. There's a question of self-respect and then there's loving yourself to the extent where you feel certain things are below your participation and wanting to play 'light' only when it makes you seem heroic or admirable. These are the worst kind of insipid narcissistic women. I was disgusted by Sally Field's behavior at Shirley Mclaine's AFI when she said "I haven't worked with a lot of legendary women - well HELL, there AREN'T many legendary women." Sally and Anne are just instruments of the emotionally manipulative schmaltz that showcases the worst of Hollywood, the films of which they aspire to participate in because they think it makes them look good and important. They are NOT comedic actresses. They are tragic and consumed with self regard in their quest to be validated and accepted by men. They know nothing and they think nothing.

  http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D-W6eZf93TRs

• Yeah exactly R117. Sitting there next to Speilberg and DDL...I'm surprised Sally didn't lunge at her and plunge a fork into her.

• No ones even mentioned her other cringe worthy moment: WHO is SHE to stand up there and describe all the creatives involved in Les Mis as "geeks and misfits"? Hugh Jackman is a misfit? Russell Crowe? Working Title? You could tell that producer was completely over her.

• R56,you know what would be amusing (except Sally Field would have too much class): if Sally wins the Oscar (and I am starting to fervently hope she will) and says something like, (to Hathaway): "well, Anne - I guess this means they don't like you. They really, really, don't like you"! (hee-hee!)

  Going to hell as I type this

• R120 Ann, along with her thinking so highly of herself, suffers from a severe case of "tries to hard to be cool and fit in and fails miserably.

• R121 Oh GOD... that would be hysterical. I'd sit through Les Mis again if she'd do that.

• Anne better practice her loser face if she hasn't already.

• R124 She'll deserve an Oscar if she's successfully able to pull off a "happy" face if anyone else's name is called but hers.

• Now that would impress me R125. She may make a fan of me yet. I know what it's like to want something so bad that you can't hide it even if you're trying, and you drive everyone around you nuts. One of the best things that happened was me not getting that thing, though it sure didn't seem like it at the time. Happened in my twenties. I don't hate AH, I just have only seen this type of unself aware naked desperation in teenagers and people in their early twenties. They get a pass somewhat as their peers are going through the same things. Then stuff happens and you grow up fast and become a better, more bearable person hopefully, and with some perspective. Anne is what, 30?

• I've never been a fan of her acting (too self-conscious, try too hard) but as a person she seemed like a nice change of pace from some of the other more idiotic starlets around. When she was nominated for Best Actress, they had former winners salute the nominees. Shirley MacLaine did Anne's tribute. You could tell that Hathaway was so honored, moved and just blown away by the fact that MacLaine was giving her praise. It was a very sweet moment. But that was before she was a STAR.

• [quote] I know what it's like to want something so bad that you can't hide it even if you're trying, and you drive everyone around you nuts. One of the best things that happened was me not getting that thing, though it sure didn't seem like it at the time. Happened in my twenties. What was it if I might ask?

• I loved The Flying Nun! I am not aware that Sally Field is "embarrassed" about her early iconic success, and if she is, she's being silly. I met Sandy Duncan after seeing her in a play a few years ago. Her bio was extensive and included pre-fame church and amateur credits, it was really cute. After our introduction, I fake scolded her for having omitted "Million Dollar Duck", a great Disney movie opposite Dean Jones, and she gasped. "No, I didn't! Why it's right here (grabbing my program).....What? I can't believe I forgot it, I love that movie!" She owned all of her credits, and something tells me Sally is fine when people say they enjoyed The Flying Nun.

• Is there a transcript of her acceptance speech? I tried to watch it and just can't.

• R128, The thing I lost out on was just a certain man's love, which is fine now because that was a poweless feeling. I tried to be vague with the language because I see that same torturous desperation in AH. It comes through in her statements taken as a whole. I think that she thinks that if she does not get this Oscar, she may go crazy or maybe she has not imagined beyond that because it's too scary. At least if you die, maybe you get to surrender right? People like AH are more fascinating to watch off screen.

• R130 Transcript of Ann's Speech: ME ME ME ME ME ME take a dig at Sally Field and at the same time relate it back to ME ME ME ME ME ME. And then wait to jump on the Microphone again when it's not my turn and: ME ME ME ME ME ME ME

• R131 Well problem is if Ann loses that's all we're going to hear about 3 years from now. She'll be all over the press giving interviews about how it was the worst period of time in her life... how it nearly destroyed her... she couldn't get out of bed... and then she realized the importance of blah blah blah and she became so enlightened.. blah blah blah.

• "Wait, who hasn't heard of Anne Hathaway? Just because you don't like her doesn't mean she isn't famous!" William Shakespeare's wife?

• [quote] I see that same torturous desperation in AH....I think that she thinks that if she does not get this Oscar, she may go crazy or maybe she has not imagined beyond that because it's too scary. At least if you die, maybe you get to surrender right? That is one of the most hilarious bouts of projection I've ever read.

  MARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• I think distinction to be made here, with the Flying Nun, is that Sally isn't embarrassed at all with having done it, and has a great sense of humor about herself...but that she didn't like that this role put her in the position of not being taken seriously in the industry. These are two different things, and I understand both perspective. I honestly think that Anne, as much as I am annoyed by her, meant nothing but respect for Sally when saying all that. She was referring to the struggle of coming out of being known for a light comedic role, and somehow launching a career as a serious actress out of it, against the oddes - in a time when women had far LESS power than they do now in this still very misogynistic industry. Now, what's really annoying about Anne here is the fact that she would even compare herself to Field in the first place. This is a different time altogether, and there is no comparison at all for Anne to cling to, in her fame grab. As many had mentioned in this thread already, her struggle to go from a Disney Princess to a serious young actress wasn't much of a struggle at all...it just took a little bit of luck and patience, and she is honestly talented. I thought she was marvelous in Rachel Getting Married, playing a young rich girl who has issues with her family and herself. Hello? It's her in a nutshell. But yeah, this performance of Fantine can't be award worthy, when it's really a short sale, and requires one note - self pity - from the character.

  R102

• R133, In my example of lost love, there was eventually freedom in acceptance; the person didn't love me enough or whatever, the end. In a case like Anne's, she has year after year of staying on that wheel, making movies and chasing that idol. So there is no cut and dry reality to face, which IMO can forestall maturity. So in this case, AH losing the thing she covets may not present the opportunity for maximum growth; here, if she gets the award, she may find that her emotional problems aren't solved and it's not a great enough source of narcissistic supply, and perhaps nothing is.

• I hereby 'oh dear' myself for my typos, good lord.

  R136

• She should do like Joaquin Pheonix did -act like you don't want it and they will give it to you anyway. It worked for George C Scott and Marlon Brando....

• R136 Well, to add to that, Sally, by her own accounts also admits she hated it because she knew it wasn't something she wanted to do or should have done but was convinced to do it for fear she'd never work again.. she was also miserable while filming it (I believe she's referenced that she gained a large amount of weight while filming because she hated the role so much). So, that coupled with the struggle she had after, is why she hates that show. I don't think she even utters the title of it.

• She's got a handful of days to grow some whiskers and create a bizarre alternate persona - that sings hip hop!

• Just watched the whole speech for the first time. It's so cringeworthy. She tries a couple of jokes and bombs badly.

• R142 And sadly you know she rehearsed those jokes for daaaaaaays. Her people must really hate her as much as everyone else does to not tell her.

• Well R135 I admit it's projection so it's no big deal. I don't know if I'm right, I'm just explaining what interest AH holds - I want to see what happens next. So what.

  R131

• There's an interview with several of the ladies on another thread and Sally says she HATED doing The Flying Nun- that she got fat from eating out of despair - she's very funny talking about it, but she has nothing good to say about the experience. Re Anne - she was praising Field and didn't compare herself to Fiekd at all. That said, her grab of the microphone later was obnoxious. I hope that kills off her Oscar chances.

• Watching the Golden Globes completely I'm starting to think Les Miserables sponsored the Golden Globe Awards.

• R144, I don't think you need to defend yourself at all. You expressed yourself very well and though I'm sure it's quite the same as Ann's raw ambition, it's the wanting it so badly that you're talking about and the way it distorts one's behavior. I thought it was well said and added an interesting dimension but Ann Hathaway has ALWAYS been cringe worthy and obnoxious. Did you see her host the Oscars?

• R145 I would disagree and say she totally compared herself to field... at best she related Field's experience to her own imagined, non-existent one, which is completely insulting to what Field actually had to go through.

• R136, you're wrong about The Flying Nun and the impact it had on Sally's career. I said before, it's okay if she wants to pick at the scab or stick her finger in the wound but it's misguided for someone else to think they can stand up in front of all of Hollywood and reference it. Ann could use about 5 - 7 years in group therapy.

• [quote]You expressed yourself very well and though I'm sure it's quite the same as Ann's raw ambition... It should be "...not quite the same..."

  R147

• AnnE is truly insufferable. From Jane Fonda's blog: [quote]At the CAA party on Friday I hugged and congratulated Anne Hathaway who recently did a magnificent job emceeing the Women’s Media Center gala in NY and wowed everyone with her intelligence. She told Robert Deniro about One Billion Rising that will take place around the world this coming Valentine’s Day, Feb 14th. She said, “Robert, one billion women in the world are rape or beaten in their life times. One billion people, women and the men who love them, will rise up to dance, sing, strike,raise their voices to say “enough.” Join us. You don’t have to do a fancy dance, just get out there somewhere and sway your hips and rise with us.” He had that funny, bemused, crooked smile of his, but seemed open to the idea. Even Fonda wanted Sally to win (as an Academy member I hope it means she will vote for her): [quote]After the show we went to the HBO post-Globes party where we sat with Jeff Daniels and Sam Waterson. I love and admire them them both so much and so many friends came by to chat: Michael J. Fox and his wife and son, Sally Field who is one of my dearest friends and who I wish had won Best Actress, Jeremy Irons, P. Diddy and many others.

• Gawd, I can just imagine Hathaway panting desperately in front of Stanley and Iris.

• R147 - No I did not see that AA show. People said that it brought to mind that Rob Lowe Disney intro abomination. Was it really that bad? But I think I will tune in this year.

  R144

• I remember reading somewhere that Hathaway was raped when she was in college. This was an article prior to her Princess Diary movie.

• R154 Never heard of that before. I think if it were to have happened she'd certainly have talked about it much more.

• At least she shows her tits in her movies.

• You're getting a little too caught up in the character of "Anne", R155 and forgetting she's an actual human being. Sick.

• The behavior of Hathaway and her ilk (Kate WInslet, I'm looking at you) makes you realize just how classy someone like Amy Adams is.

• I saw that this morning. Buh bye Academy Award.

• If AnnE had been raped she would be shouting it from the rooftops in her quest for the Oscar.

• R157 I'm not getting caught up in anything. All I said was that if that happened to her, she'd have talked about it more. If it was brought up once before her first major film came out, you don't think she would have brought it up again at least once after? And if there's a "character" of Anne she's made that character up so she can't fault anyone if that's all they see. Spare me.

• R157 Go clutch your pearls. Such righteous comments from someone posting about her flashing her tits.

• The only time I've ever felt AnnE was authentic was during the Oscars where she was nominated for the junkie movie. I don't recall which Oscar winner spoke to her from the stage but AnnE seemed genuine at the time.

• Go clutch my pearls? I'm sorry, your eldergay dismissals can suck my huge cock. And you should be THANKFUL Ms. Hathaway shows her tits on camera in so many movies. At least there's one woman willing to give you a nipple, since we know your mom reserved hers for real boys.

• hahaha. R164 has a HUGE (internet) cock. And you can have Anne's nipple. Being the fag you are, you don't have better tastes, it's cool.

• Oh Lord. Anyone who is pathetic enough to resort to shouting on an internet board that he has a huge cock... doesn't.

• And how would you know my tastes, R165?

  Brandon

• R166 - it's huge and it's yours. Come get it.

• BTW - TEAM AMY ADAMS This Les Mis shit was unwarchable. Turned it off after 15 minutes.

  Brandon

• New Thread Suggestion : NAME ANNE HATHAWAY'S RAPE BABY

  Brandon

• The other nominees in that category don't seem to have a blanketing campaign going on. Makes me want to read their recent interviews.

• Amy Adams is also pretty boring, but she actually looked good last night. She fixed her hair.

• R172 I'm not an Amy fan, never have been... but I like her much better than that insufferable Ann. I'm also starting to like Amy a little more after her Roundtable appearance. She was finally not boring.

• R170 First you take issues with the whole rape discussion and bitching that people forget she's a "actual" human being? And now you want to name her rape baby? Lame. And stupid. Why the hell do we need to play a game? Everyone knows she wouldn't name her kid anything but ANNE.

• Amy is boring because she doesn't give a shit about fame. She does good work in good movies and otherwise keeps to herself. I have no problem with that.

• RI74, my apologies. I thought I was participating in friendly snark. And I kind of LOVE you because that's EXACTLY what I was going to say re: rape baby's name!!!

  Brandon

• R176 The fact that you only "kind of" love me shows you don't have better tastes.

• I wonder if these nominees self medicate with something to prevent that humiliating, televised tearful upset. Xanax? Can't mix that with alcohol though.

  Sean Young

• R174 Or Fannetine... you know, just to remind us.

• Hey OP, one question: Is it the shark that's insufferable or Anne?

• OP sounds like Adam Shulman after the honeymoon.

• The husband is boring, too.

• Playbill on line reporting that Hathaway in talks to do a remake of The Taming of the Shrew.

  I guess the Garland bio pic is DOA.

• Amy Adams may be quiet now but she did a pretty spectacular hustle for her JUNEBUG nomination tour. Granted she needed to work like that because nobody knew who she was and it was a small movie. Hathaway needs to relax because she has the PR machine, stardom, prior nomination, etc. I agree with R158 about Kate Winslet too. I forgot Adams was even nominated but after reading this thread I hope she wins. Why not? This is like her 4th (?) nomination. Besides it would be hilarious to see Anne's reaction to 'And the Oscar goes to AAAmy Adams.'

• DID I MENTION I WAS RAPED!!!!

  AnnE

• The Best Actor and Actress awards should always be presented like this, if only so Sophia Loren can own it.

• R70, I've been saying this about Anne for years. She's like a prettier version of Chelsea Clinton, who has the same problem. But Anne is still weird-looking. Would it not be funny if Anne didn't win Oscar night and threw a tantrum and ran out of the theater?

• I don't think she's weird looking. I watched The Devil Wears Prada (again) last night. Sometimes she looked beautiful, sometimes not. She can be ... striking. Which is more important than beautiful when you're an actress. Bette Davis, Meryl Streep...not classically beautiful. Some people have a "relationship" with the camera. Sorry, I'm tired and not being very articulate.

• Eddie Murphy threw and tantrum and left, why not Anne? I sincerely hope Anne doesn't win. She will mature and grow more as a person. Right now she is ugly. Her behavior, her character, her personality. Ugly. She needs some character building defeat. She needs public humiliation. She will be insufferable if she wins. Obnoxious. She really will not know how to handle it. She already can't handle it and she's only nominated. I understand this is like being elected prom Queen your senior year. It's the pinnacle in her line of work. But it is not the cure for cancer. It's something to aspire to. It's something she should thing about in a different context. Right now she is an ass. As bad as Kate Winslet & Natalie Portman were Anne Hathaway is worse.

• Mo'nique copped a serious diva attitude after her Oscar win and now NO ONE wants to work with her. Maybe the same will happen to Anne.

• THE INSUFFERABLE SHARK!!! I'D WATCH IT!

• I predict that AnnE will will an Oscar this year, which will provoke even more pretentious and precious behavior from her. But once you get to the top the only way forward is down. Hollywood gets sick of everyone and they will get sick of her (she's making it easy, too).

• E130, you owe me, but here goes: [quote]Blurg. Um, thanks for that word, Tina. Um... oh, my gosh, this is happening. Uh... uh, to the Hollywood Foreign Press, thank you so much for (inhale) having me in this room... full of extraordinary artists that have... changed my life with their work. Um, thank you for this lovely blunt object that I will forevermore use as a weapon against self doubt. Um... and thank you for putting me... my work... in this category with great and gutsy actresses... Amy, Nicole, Helen, and Sally. Sally... um, I have to thank you so much for being a vanguard against typecasting (smirk from Helen Hunt) because as the girl who started out as the Princess of Genovia, I can't tell you how encouraging it was to know that THE FLYING NUN grew up to be NORMA RAE (uneasy smile on Sally) and grew up to be Mama Gump and grew up to be Mary Todd Lincoln, so thank you so much. (audience claps, Sally blows Anne kiss, but I like to think it was a kiss of death, haha). Um... I... okay, I'll wrap it up... Um, I just want to thank my mother, who I saw perform this role when I was eight. I want to thank the creators of the show, Working Title, and Universal for making an unapologetic, sincere, live sung-through musical. I'm sure that was an easy decision. Um... and I have to thank our cast, who are fearless and impossibly talented. Our crew, who deserve this special award for pretending they liked live singing at 7am. And, um, who Hugh Jackman, my friend, you were brilliant in this role, I love you! Tom Hooper, I will not damage your reputation as an aloof Englishman by telling everyone that when I was crying on set you were crying right along with me. I won't tell anyone that. Your secret is totally safe with me. Thank you, thank you so much for everything you gave me. To my family who are everything to me, and my husband, honey, you make everyday better than the last and thank you for the best strings of yesterdays I have ever had. I love you! Thank you Hollywood Foreign Press!

• I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

• Oh, most acceptance speeches are a window into a session with their therapist. Almost all of 'em make me puke.

• ANNE HATHAWAY DOESN'T POOP. SHE HAD THAT REMOVED.

• Aside from the ridiculous basic premise of THE FLYING NUN, the show was actually quite good -- well written and very well acted by all involved.

• That was supposed to be for R130, btw.

  R193

• Aw, that wasn't so bad.

• ANNE HATHAWAY DOESN'T LIKE RAPE JOKES. SHE LOVES THEM.

• It sounds pretty fakerooo

• Anne has no jobs lined up. Will she just stay at home with her Oscar from now on?

• ANNE HATHAWAY THINKS HER FRIEND JEFF IS GAY BUT SHE'S NOT SURE. SHE'S BAD WITH NAMES.

• ANNE HATHAWAY IS A RAPE SURVIVOR. THE VICTIM, HOWEVER, DIDNT MAKE IT.

• I really like her.

  Julie

• All this analysis over her. Here’s what I believe: bitch is fake. No better than the rest of them. I totally believe the rumors about her and Bale fucking, and other gossip that said she’s stepped out before. Smoke = fire. Whenever I see her being so over the top I immediately think, she’s hiding something. And her people and all their pap ops and planted stories are helping her hide it. Remember the last obnoxious Oscar campaign? Portman. What was going on in her life at that same time that was a big story: her pregnancy. And what later became the focus of so much gossip and speculation that hasn’t abated even to this day? I see parallels. We’ll be in for some surprises when this is over and people around AnnE start to talk.

• Both the Flying Nun and Gidget are on Antenna TV. I can see why she might have had problems getting typecast afterwards, but you can see she has that "it" factor even then. While the shows aren't high art, they are better than the tween shows that populate the Disney channel now. One thing I noticed about Gidget is Peter Duel. He has a small part, but he had a charisma and comedic timing that elevated him from being the generic brother-in-law. He had a lot of potential. Repeats of Alias Smith and Jones and noticing how Ben Murphy's jeans fit were early signs that I did not at the time understand.

• People bitch about soap threads and Golden Girls threads, and yet Anne threads must outnumber them at least 5:1 these days.

  Michelle%20Williams

• At least we're not stalking her like they do on the Harry Styles and Frank Ocean threads.

• Oh come on! AnnE looked like a big tampon in that dress at the Globes.

  Squirt some Ketchup on lil' Annie

• Yeah, when they played her version of IDAD to cover her walk to the mic and that flat note on "...he took my childhood in his STRIDE" rang out it sounded really bum.

• [quote] Anne Hateaway: Robert, one billion women in the world are rape or beaten in their life times. She doesn't even include the millions of women raped AFTER their life times. So biased. So entitled. So uncommitted. And those victims can't dance and sing and shake their maracas like Anne's precious LIVE victims. What a cunt.

• Sorry, but what's with the rape comments? There's a reference I'm not getting....

• That gasping and gurgling sound everone's hearing in the Hollywood Hills right now is the death rattle of Anne Hathaway's Oscar hopes after her disastrous Golden Globes speech insulting Sally Field. There is an unwritten code of conduct amongst actors that you can, of course, stab someone in the back until the cows come home if it will give you a leg up, but it is done behind the scenes. You, however, never publicly embarass another actor in front of a worldwide auduence like Anne knowingly did to Sally "The Flying Nun" Field. It was shocking to industry veterans, even in this town of low standards.
