Hathaway's "no matter what happens" comment is no doubt referring to the Academy's decision to go hostless for this year's ceremony. It came after the controversy surrounding Kevin Hart's hosting, with a string of old homophobic tweets from the star leading to his stepping down from the post.

In a recent interview, Hathaway told Peoplethat Franco had convinced her to take the gig, even though she'd already said no.

"Can I dish some tea?” she said. “I turned that gig down, and James is the one that convinced me to do it."
