he probably should have been paying more attention to acting and presenting (since he was shit)

Yeah, his backstage tweeting was easily the highlight of his hosting. He was pretty crappy.

You'd think a star such as him could afford a phone with a decent camera.

wtf w/ that skyscraper aspect ratio? what kind of record like that?!

Well this confirms everything I previously thought about James Franco.

1 - He's an idiot. Viz., he works in film and doesn't understand that landscape vs. portrait isn't a choice when it comes to video.

2 - He's self-involved. Viz., he's that jackass that feels the need to turn the camera toward himself when filming something worth seeing. Ok, you were there. Great. James Franco, we know you were there. Millions of people watched you being there. You really needed to turn the cell phone camera toward yourself to let us know that it was you, James Franco, hosting the Oscars? You're a self-involved idiot.

3 - I feel like he's going to molest me. Viz., even without the facial hair this guy just gives off creepy vibes. Really scummy. Taking a cell phone video of hosting the Oscars? I wonder if he then made the whole audience call him Daddy.

4 - He's a self-involved idiot. We've been over this, but it bears repeating.
