Is it her face? Her personality? Is she too perfect? Everyone wants to know why we hate Anne Hathaway. We want to know why they care so much.
Last time Anne Hathaway gave an acceptance speech after she won the best-supporting-actress Oscar for her performance in Les Misérables. Youd think she committed mass murder.
What began as the cult of Hathahaters two months ago has simmered, bubbled over, and formed a zeitgeist-seizing, rage-fueled movement against the actress, peaking with a series of think pieces examining what Hathaway has done to trigger such a response. As if its some major social or political question that must be answeredlike how to prevent the sequester or who should be the next popethese essays explore every facet of Annes very Anne-ness in an attempt to get to the root of the problem.
People are stronger in their convictions on the issue than they are on most platforms that determine presidential elections. Now a hatred has arisen thats typically reserved for celebrities who go on anti-Semitic rants (hello, Mr. Gibson) or hit their girlfriends (bonjour, Mr. Brown). Hathaway, by comparison, gave some speeches that were kind of annoying. Forget media frenzy. Its a media pile-on, and its out of control.
So what are we supposed to think about her?
Shes got this theater-kid thing where she adopts the mood of every situation shes in ... but wildly overcompensates every time, writes The Atlantic Wires Richard Lawson. CNN quotes an oratory expert who tells us that Hathaways just one of the people who just doesnt come off as sincere. The New Yorkers Sasha Weiss posits that its because the actress appears too happy.

lame article. this so-called hath-hate must not be all that or out of control because I certainly haven’t noticed any of it anywhere except for the allegations that this lame article makes.
Princess Diaries? I'll pass.
Not because she’s an Obama supporter and activist, surely:
Anne Hathaway pens pro-Obama op-ed - 11/5/12
Devil Wears Prada star Anne Hathaway explains why shes voting for President Barack Obama in an op-ed published Monday in the Advocate. She writes:

Interesting how you had a different take.
I thought for what Fantine suffered, she responded quite appropriately, given the lyric she was tasked to deliver.
For someone who is 450+ years old, Mrs. William Shakespeare looks pretty good!
Princess Diaries? Heather Matarazzo? She said they were friends. People decided to read more into that without any real evidence. Hathaway's brother is homosexual, so she doesn't feel uncomfortable with gays or lesbians.
Why do people hate her? She's become the successful "good girl" without being especially or appealingly good, the successful "top girl" or "head girl" without being particularly charismatic, a successful cover girl without being a great beauty.
She doesn't have the common touch that wins people over or the great personal magnetism that also appeals to people. She's doesn't come across as especially kind, or good-natured, or friendly. Not even wittily and cleverly mean. To the many haters, it apparently seems like she isn't that interested in other people in any way. Probably not a great actress either.
Maybe it's just jealousy, but there's a feeling that she got further than she earned or deserved. That can be something visceral that you feel in your gut rather than reason out. And yes, Hathaway-hatred or Anne-ophobia is one of those distractions that take people's minds off what's actually going on in the world.
Fey made my day, when he latest bombed. Even thirty rock got lousy ratings
right diaries not bride.
I keep wondering why she’s supposed to be a celebrity. SNL sucked during her tenure, nobody watched Thirty Rock, maybe one of her movies was a modest hit, I don’t know. But you certainly don’t hear about them anymore. Except Mean Girls, which I occasionally will hear referenced or quoted. But who remembers she had anything to do with it?
i know that, and you know that... but the silly people who love to loathe her do not know that... it will take a major role... not a supporting role... i think her performance in Les Miserables was raw and gritty... and i believe she earned her Oscar...
One never more describes one’s own true nature then when one is attempting to describe the nature of another.
Its because she has the same goopy haircut that Michelle Williams has. I can’t stand the look on either one of them.
by the time the awards shows started, he was often saying things on FB, like, "ugh--can we just skip the best supporting actress award?" because he knew she was going to win...
Hollywood liberal Anne Hathaway joined the #Occupy Wall Street goons yesterday during their march to shut down Wall Street and block traffic.
The 29-year-old, who is worth a reported $58 million, was pictured marching with protesters and sticking it to the man yesterday in The Big Apple.
Anne, whose films have made approximately a total of $3,202,600,000, tried to blend in with the crowd by wearing a black hooded jacket, grey hat and sunglasses. The Oscars hostess held up a sign in support of the campaign that read: Blackboards not bullets.
I have no idea who this woman is or why anyone would hate her. I have read nothing in this article to account for people hating her. Did she kill a couple of 13 month old babies? Probably not, but some thugs did kill one and I see no articles about how much they are hated. Our country is completely screwed, with nut cases abounding in our society, the nut cases being people who can hate a film actress simply because she exists and for no other reason. Sorry I clicked on this article, it is disgusting.
Did your friend tell you exactly why he hated her?
did he say why he hated her? is she a snot in real-life? (which wouldn’t surprise me as a lot of hollywood people are totally in love w/themselves.)
I love these threads. This is where I find out that what I previously though were middle aged and retired average guys are really globe trotting alpha-studs who kick SI swimsuit models out BEFORE breakfast and never, ever let them eat crackers in bed.
I think shes absolutely, drop-dead gorgeous . . . even though shes more than likely a libtard Hollyweirdo. She has the most incredible eyes and skin.
...I, on the other hand, would not know the woman if I fell over her...though, sadly, I haven’t had occasion recently to fall over lovely women...
