It’s not even January and already we’re getting excited about awards season - even more so than normal, now we know Hollywood superstars Anne Hathaway and James Franco are set to host the Oscars next year.

LOOK BACK AT LAST YEAR’S BEST AND WORST DRESSED!

The pair were announced as the show’s new presenters earlier today, and will be the youngest hosts in decades to step on to the famous, glittering stage.

James and Anne will take the golden reins from comedy duo Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, and it seems producers have high hopes for this year’s special ceremony.

'James Franco and Anne Hathaway personify the next generation of Hollywood icons - fresh, exciting and multi-talented,' producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer announced in a statement today.
