Two actors have been named to host The Oscars this year.

Actors James Franco and Anne Hathaway have been named co-hosts of the Academy Awards Broadcast on February 27th.

Both are currently starring in movies that some experts say could earn each an Oscar of their own.

The 32-year-old Franco is starring in the real-life drama "127 Hours," playing a man who cut off his own arm to free himself from being trapped in a canyon.

The 28-year-old Hathaway portrays a free-spirited woman who falls for a drug salesman in "Love and Other Drugs."
