James Franco, Oscars 2011 host along with Anne Hathaway predicted he would fail at 83rd annual Academy Awards.
Don't say James Franco didn't warn you he would bomb at the Oscars.
The 83rd Annual Academy Awards may have attracted its second largest audience since 2007, but Anne Hathaway's co-host was panned by critics as being a soporific albatross around her neck who cared more about Tweeting the show than guiding it.
But in a prophetic move, the 32-year-old "Pineapple Express" actor predicted he might fail right before the Oscars kicked off.
Before he stepped out onto the Kodak Theater's stage on Sunday night, Franco uploaded one of the first of many real time videos on his Twitter account with the message, "These were my famous last words."
"Any last words for your fans before you go out?" a camera man asked the actor, who was dressed in a natty tux.
A nervous Franco decided not to put on a brave face.
"It might be bad, it might be bad," he said, breaking into a worried smile. "It might be horrible."
Meanwhile, Hathaway, who maintained a peppy personality throughout the evening, seemed impervious to criticism following the big night.
"Thank you very much everybody! This was AMAZING!" she tweeted. "I really enjoyed it =) #oscars"
The 28-year-old "Love & Other Drugs" actress also told Access Hollywood after the show that "the world is in love with James Franco."
"He's so original, he's doing his own thing and he doesn't care about what anyone thinks about him, I really look up to him," she said.

Though photos taken after the show featured Academy Award producers Don Mischer and Bruce Cohen cavorting happily with the Oscar hosts in the almost empty Kodak Theater, Franco did not stick around to party with the big wigs.
While Hathaway shot off to the Weinstein Oscar party, Franco took a flight back to New York.
"It was fun, have to get back to class," he wrote in red across a photo he tweeted of the airport.
Franco's rep could not be reached for comment.
