James Franco, who is set to host tonight’s Academy Awards with beauty Anne Hathaway, took home the prize for Lead Actor in 127 Hours.

While the actor was excited about his big win, he also talked to reporters backstage about getting ready for his hosting gig tonight!

“I’m feeling pretty good. They’ve been going on for 83 years. I am kind of joining a bigger apparatus, so it’s going to be pretty familiar in some ways but I think it’ll be fun. They’re telling us to relax, they’re not stretching us into some mold that we don’t fit.”

And despite all of the excitement brewing on the beach, it was a good thing that Jameson Irish Whiskey was on hand throughout the day to warm everyone up a tad!  Just too bad that mom-to-be Natalie Portman couldn't indulge in a cocktail.  She warmed up with a parka inside of the tented venue instead.
