A new promo from the 2011 Academy Awards has been released; it features actress Anne Hathaway doing a very weird mash-up of “Don’t Cry for me Argentina” from the musical Evita, and the rap classic Rump Shaker.
Puzzling.
Hathaway, who recently credited Spanish actress Penelope Cruz for “freeing her up mentally” to do the sex scenes in her last movie, “Love and Other Drugs,” is hosting the Oscars along side actor James Franco.
“I was watching a lot of her [P. Cruz’s] work while I was working on the movie,” Hathaway said. “Because doing nudity is a little nerve-wrecking, and I had to remind myself that plenty of actresses have done it before me and kept their dignity intact. She has done a ton of love scenes, and no one ever talks to her about it. It’s always in the service of the work.”
