January 14, 2011 (Showbiz PR Wire): James Franco plans to "sing and dance" at the forthcoming Oscars.

The '127 Hours' actor - who is hosting the event on February 27 alongside 'Love & Other Drugs' star Anne Hathaway - has confirmed he may do more than just present the awards and wants to entertain as well.

He said: "You got Anne Hathaway, who is the youngest host ever, that is new. There might be some singing, there might be some dancing."

Apart from hosting the awards ceremony, Franco could win an award for Best Actor for his role in new film 127 Hours. And if he does, he said he already has a back-up plan in place his friend and publicist Barry Johnson will accept it for him.

James recently revealed he initially said no to hosting the Oscars because he was so surprised to be offered.

He said: "I was very, very surprised, and my initial reaction was 'No.' Then I thought about it and I thought, 'Well, why not? Because I'll look bad?' Well, I don't care.

"I'm happy to take the criticism. Even if it's 'The Worst Oscars Ever,' I don't care. It's one night of the year."

Francos 127 Hours releases in India on January 26th.
