Awww.... he was so shy back then. He often talked about overcoming his shyness in his earlier years, and it was really hard to believe if you see him now.
Just watched 'The Deuce' season finale tonight. Franco has come a long way. Amazing actor. Love seeing this tape of him at the beginning of his career.
He was absolutely OUTSTANDING in james dean omg like i dont know who the other nominees were in the category but i definitely know james deserved that win like such an incredible performance
I remember this, the first time I had heard of James Franco. He reminds me of Montgomery Clift here, the way he's talking, shy and kind of vulnerable. Awesome actor- really interesting career thus far!
OMG he is so cute! And such a brilliant actor! I've finished 11.22.63 and then watched "Why Him" right away and I was like "WHOAAAAA two extremely different James Francos!"
i've seen most of the films for oscars'11 and can say james deserves it because he did in fact have the most difficult role! he had to act by himself for like 93% of the film!! he made it exciting and so on and so forth....i'm not taking anything away from the other actors nominated because they all deserve the nom, but franco deserves the win!!! c'mon! :)
James Franco AKA Harry Osborn from Spiderman looks like he could be 16 or 17 year's old when he presented the awards at the time ,but anyway I enjoyed him as Harry Osborn as the green goblin from the Spiderman trilogy.
When Meryl Streep accepted her Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Movie or Miniseries for ANGELS IN AMERICA (2003) she said in her acceptance speech, "No one has put a better performance on film than Judy Davis in LIFE WITH JUDY GARLAND." High praise from the master, indeed. Too bad it wasn't a theatrical release. Davis would surely have won the Oscar.
@Gilch30 He's soft-spoken and intelligent. There are plenty of people who talk like that. You're exactly right; that's how he always talks. That doesn't mean he's always high.
He was so shy and adorable, you can totally see the difference between him then and now.
now is more crazy and stupid ,but best actor
666 upvotes yikes

What the f...what are you saying..I think it's the same now

He's so shy and quiet. ADORABLE. *.*
Wow. he’s stunning he looks so good
him then vs now LOL he's so energetic now
crazy how shy he was! he deserved that award job well done =)
How I miss the old days!!! This is when he wasn't cocky... So humble....
He's not cocky, he's used to fame. He was 23 here and not used to it.
I remember this, the first time I had heard of James Franco. He reminds me of Montgomery Clift here, the way he's talking, shy and kind of vulnerable. Awesome actor- really interesting career thus far!
It's like he's still JAMES :)
Better speech than 99% of the bloated Golden Globe winners will ever give.
Aww Marla
OMG he is so cute! And such a brilliant actor! I've finished 11.22.63 and then watched "Why Him" right away and I was like "WHOAAAAA two extremely different James Francos!"
Bro mogged entire Hollywood!!!
He did an EXCELLENT portrayal!
Now if you'll excuse me I have to die in Spiderman 3.
T De hahaha
HAHAHAHA
happy 44th birthday james edward franco !!!
Wow, he seems so shy here. I think he has definitely grown in confidence.
He was like James Dean at that time!
To think ten years later that shy young man would be hosting the Oscars!
When he said thanks to my teacher Robert Carnage I laughed because that's my acting teacher
fr!?!?
He is, huh? And you don't know how to spell your acting teachers name?
How is that funny!?
@@morganmoorehouse5006 well I have some teacher and idk how to spell their name
He's such an amazing actor!😘
So beautiful and sweet, I love❤ you James!
This is so cute ong
i've seen most of the films for oscars'11 and can say james deserves it because he did in fact have the most difficult role! he had to act by himself for like 93% of the film!! he made it exciting and so on and so forth....i'm not taking anything away from the other actors nominated because they all deserve the nom, but franco deserves the win!!! c'mon! :)
Now James won 2 golden globes for playing real life men and he was so good in James Dean and even looks like him both hotties
He's not married yet........YUS!!
I'm happy because I want to marry him.
Nothing beats a young James Franco... daaaaamn 😍
And look at him now 😎
he is good looking. i love his shyness here - so cute.
It s impossible to choice another actor for be james dean he look like him so much
I wasn't expecting him to be so quiet. I remember Dave Franco was shy once upon a time too.
James Franco AKA Harry Osborn from Spiderman looks like he could be 16 or 17 year's old when he presented the awards at the time ,but anyway I enjoyed him as Harry Osborn as the green goblin from the Spiderman trilogy.
He was absolutely brilliant in this. More like James Dean than Dean himself.
Awwwwwww, he's sooooo cute!!!!
Such a good actor
So Good - Harry
That was F***IN' spooky😁
James Franco is "Whispering Death!!"
Ughh u make mu heart melt
If possible.. I am more in love with James now! OMFG!
James dean!!
I loved this movie when it came out. I was in high school when I saw it and was impressed.
I love City by the Sea, my favorite James Franco film.
Awwww, such a cutie! Gotta love him!
Go Harry Osborn 🤘 WE LOVE YOU, Man 🤩
Look at the new one, so much difference!

He's got such a quiet voice
He is during spiderman filming in new york...!!!
awww he was soo cute!!!
i love this boy!!!! he's so handsome, and talented, but telling the speach he wasn't so good!!!
He wa so young and cutee
He was totally the same of James dean. It was identic
His face looks my dad seriously, it's 2002 and my dad get married in 1996 so it's 6 years because when my dad married his face looks really same.
You have a great future ahead of you Franco
He looks a bit like James Dean in there
Oh youth...
Man, I'm barely 21, and I can feel my youth running away.
You're still really young. I'm 24 and feel the same though lmao
i really want him to win for 127 hours
Eric Benet (Halle Berry's then partner) looks like he's in a bad mood about something.
"DENNIS QUAID WAS THERE!"
He's like "the now" james dean
Congratulations Harry Osborn!

James Franco kinda looks like James Dean

Lol at the end the dude from friends in the crowd idk why that was so weird to me.
Goodness he's so young lol..... Right, they better give him the oscar this yr! He so deserve it. 127 hrs is just GREAT!
oscar for franco!!! suree! no real competition in that secion for him!
tommy wiseau won back in 2002 too
@Gilch30 He's soft-spoken and intelligent. There are plenty of people who talk like that. You're exactly right; that's how he always talks. That doesn't mean he's always high.
