Oscars 2013 are coming closer, so you can’t help but wonder how Seth MacFarlane — who’s hosting — feels about them so far. Regardless, Anne Hathaway had some (indirect) advice for him.<\/p>\n

If you remember, the “Les Miserables” star co-hosted the gig with James Franco the year before last. And suffice to say, it didn’t go splendidly. (Though in all fairness, Franco seemed . . . well there are a few words for how he seemed.)<\/p>\n

Thus, Anne Hathaway has reportedly said that you shouldn’t trust anyone who tells you rehearsals are going well.<\/p>\n

“Everybody was just being very positive around me, so nobody was giving me any notes,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “I watched a clip [afterward] and as soon as I saw it, I saw my mistake. It made me really angry with myself that I didn’t watch any tapes of rehearsal before I went on — because it was such an easy fix.”<\/p>\n

So watch the tapes, Seth MacFarlane! Or at the very least, just do the Gangnam Style sketch from “Saturday Night Live” if it starts to go south.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
