Anne Hathaway ‘Pretended’ to Be Happy Winning Oscar — But You Still Don’t Understand

“I tried to pretend that I was happy and I got called out on it, big time,” actress said of famously mocked acceptance speech

In perhaps the most Anne Hathaway move of all time, Anne Hathaway has found a genius way to perpetuate the constant discussion of her Oscar win by commenting on the questionable sincerity of her acceptance speech — by saying that, in fact, she was miserable when winning the Oscar she won.

Let us explain — or, actually, let us transcribe the acutely self-aware Hathaway in explaining what is crucial to our own understanding of art, commerce and awards: how she feels about it.

Hathaway is referring to the now-famous and largely derided exclamation she made in climbing the stairs of Hollywood’s Kodak Theater in 2013, when she won Best Supporting Actress for “Les Miserables.”

[...] I had to stand up in front of people and feel something I don’t feel which is uncomplicated happiness.

Uncomplicated happiness, as you see, means Anne was not free from the burden of her blighted sex worker character.

Hathaway will soon begin production on Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow’s “Ocean’s 8,” an all-female extension of the “Ocean’s Eleven” film franchise.
