Actor
James
Franco,
who
is
now
rehearsing
to
host
the
83rd
Annual
Academy
Awards,
may
use
a
few
jokes
written
by
Ricky
Gervais
at
the
Oscar
awards,
which
is
to
be
held
on
this
Sunday.
According
to
E!
Online,
the
British
comic
has
written
a
sample
monologue
for
the
127
Hours
star
and
it
includes
many
jokes.
In
an
interview
to
E!
Online,
James
Franco
spoke
about
Ricky
Gervais'
sample
monologue
and
said,
"He
did
his
award
show
and
he
bombed.
Why
is
he
trying
to
get
in
on
ours?" He
further
said,
"Horrible.
His
lines
weren't
good
on
the
Golden
Globes."
Ricky
Gervais,
who
recently
made
a
big
headline
for
poking
fun
at
the
guest
in
Golden
Globe
Awards
show,
was
said
to
have
written
jokes
for
James
Franco
and
most
of
them
were
poking
fun
at
the
comic
himself.
After
reading
the
jokes,
Franco
felt
that
Gervais
was
a
little
bit
funny.
He
said
"I'll
use
some
of
these
lines.
Thanks,
Ricky."
However,
James
Franco,
whose
name
is
also
nominated
for
Oscars
in
Best
Actor
category,
will
host
the
Oscar
Awards
with
actress
Anne
Hathaway
on
Sunday
and
Italian
fashion
brand
Gucci,
which
has
been
dressing
Franco
for
two
years,
has
designed
different
types
of
suits
for
the
show
this
year
too.
