Oscars Real Time with James Franco

Actor and Oscars co-host James Franco recorded a lot of the backstage action last night on his mobile.

When he came out for the opening with Anne Hathaway, you may have noticed him filming the audience on his phone.

He posted a collection of the photos and videos during the ceremony last night, under the name of Oscars Real Time, and they give an interesting glimpse to what goes on backstage at a big TV event like the Oscars.
