Calm and Centered

The au natural honesty of Spirit Award winner James Franco‘s press tent q & a was highly appealing. I described a similar vibe on 1.30 after Franco’s appearance at the Santa Barbara Film Festival: “Zen and relaxed and articulate in a kind of shoulder-shrugging way…didn’t try to turn on the charm or win anyone over…’I'm easy, I’ll talk, sure…no worries.’”

Notice the tent material rippling and buckling from the almost gale-force winds. It was by far the chilliest, most assaultive, least physically pleasant Spirit Awards ceremony ever.

  2. I’m convinced, he’s a calm and centered person. And, sure, cool and thoughtful.

    But I wish he had thought more about doing his job at the Oscars. Even if it meant “acting” like he was excited to be there, and playing the role of a show host that does more than dryly recite his lines.

    I guess, much like the (completely opposite) Ricky Gervais problem, I mostly blame the person who decided to hire him for the job.
