James Franco Missed Own Party -- Was He Too Embarrassed After Bombing At The Oscars?

He runs back to Yale after what might be the worst hosting gig ever!

Apparently the Oscars isn’t the only event James Franco is awful at hosting!

James, 32, threw a high-profile post-Oscars party at Los Angeles’ Supper Club on Feb. 28, to celebrate his co-hosting of the 83rd Academy Awards with Anne Hathaway. But he didn’t even show up to his own party!

James tweeted a picture of himself quickly after the awards, drinking a Bloody Mary with the caption “Goodbye L.A.” A bit later, he posted another snapshot looking out an airplane window, which read, “It was fun! Have to get back to class.”

Yet James had a valid reason to miss Monday morning’s meeting — he’s currently pursuing a doctorate of English at Yale University — and should have stayed in L.A. to celebrate. But he’s probably too embarrassed by his awful performance, as he and Anne were universally panned for their terrible hosting skills.

One person who did manage to make the Moet & Chandon sponsored bash was Lindsay Lohan, who arrived with her brother but quickly made a beeline to the back of the venue. There, she spent the night chain smoking and chatting with Chris Zylka, soon to be seen in The Amazing Spider-Man.

We guess it’s easier to hide at college than face the reviews in L.A.!

Bonnie Says: Anne Hathaway & James Franco Totally Bombed At The Oscars!

Go take a long walk off a short pier you stupid vapid disgusting airhead hollyWEIRD life website. Here is a man with a brain who is a highly paid actor yet he still is committed to going to YALE none-the-less to earn his English degree!!! And not turn into the next ridiculous Charlie-spoiled entitled ape s**t crazy-Sheen. He is not one of those vapid egomaniac egotistical celebs that THINK the world revolves around them. He obviously has more going for him than to sit around and pander to that vapid clueless over-exposed and under-talented plastic surgery lovin’ looney lot. Good for him I say, so what if it was more understated than hosts of the past. At least James Franco can spell, do higher level math, is not a borderline retard, and has brain cells that he is not drinking and drugging away. ONLY IN HOLLYWIERD WOULD SOMEONE GET PUT DOWN FOR DOING THE RESPONSIBLE THING AND GOING BACK TO COLLEGE CLASSES–TO YALE AT THAT– SO HE COULD STUDY FOR HIS EXAMS AND GO TO CLASS!!! UNBELIEVABLE!! Oh well, considering half of those morons, (including the the person who wrote the “news” article above), never even graduated from high school, it does not surprise me where their priorities are.

i don’t know WHAT you guys are bitching about. people at popeater thought they were great, and tmz had a fair review. they were funny, fresh, and young. i highly doubt that you could do half as good a job as them, so stfu.

Hiding at college? Are you crazy? He’s committed to getting his degree. You HL should be applauding him for keeping up with his schedule, not trashing him for not attending Oscar parties. Seriously, HL, you need to grow up!

I agree with you 100%! he’s being mature and going back to his studies! i love james franco… stop bashing on him HL!

They are just jealous because they never made it out of middle school let alone college, let alone YALE!!! The only thing the “writer” of this website is qualified to do is party hard and burn up what little low IQ-ed brain cells he or she was born with, and mop the floors at Yale where Mr. Franco attends.
