Oscar hosting was 'pure joy': Anne Hathaway

Washington, March 1 (ANI): Actress Anne Hathaway says hosting the Academy Awards with James Franco last night was "pure joy".

She found the experience "pure joy from beginning to end".

Although her performance with co-host Franco was blasted, the 'Love and Other Drugs' actress revealed she loved the experience of working with him at the Hollywood bash.

"I had a blast. I kept waiting to become nervous. Everyone kept asking me, 'Are you nervous?'The whole ride from beginning to end was joy, pure joy," the Contactmusic quoted her as telling Oprah Winfrey.

It was "fun to play off [James] with our two different energies," she added. (ANI)
