James Franco in drag: Oscar fail?
Oscar host/nominee James Franco channeled Marilyn Monroe (and Madonna) when he walked on stage in a fuschia gown and blond wig. It may have been a first for the Academy Awards, though not for Franco -- who has done this sort of thing before. More than once.
But, in the context of tonight's Oscar broadcast, was there really a point? Or was it just another naked (or thankfully not-naked) bid to woo "young, hip" viewers?

Is there a count somewhere on how many dress changes Ann Hathaway had? It had to have been at least 10.

His dressing in drag was totally out of context. Just a head shaker. And stupid. What was funny about it, however, was that he tried to act more manly to make up for being in drag. Lame.

I wish the poll had a "Whatever" option

Its true . . . somehow Franco appears way more masculine in this get up than ever before. Hathaway seemed to enjoy the "joke," tho.
