Although Anne Hathaway has been lauded all awards season, she knows that the blogs are rife with criticism about her polarizing personality.
So-called “Hathahaters” snarked at her carefully crafted persona during her run around the awards show circuit.
As the Daily Beast noted, her faux surprise during her Golden Globes speech inspired a flurry of tweets at 19,685 per minute. A sample: “Can’t watch the Golden Globes anymore b/c Anne Hathaway called her award a ‘weapon of self doubt’ and I threw my pizza at the TV and shattered it.”
The actress — now an Oscar winner for her turn as Fantine in “Les Miserables” — supplied more ammunition to her detractors when she whispered “it came true” before an awed acceptance speech on Sunday.
After winning her Best Supporting Actress Oscar, Hathaway admitted she’s not immune to the criticism.
“It does get to me,” she told Us Weekly. “But you have to remember in life that there’s a positive to every negative and a negative to every positive.”
“The miracle of the universe is that, as far as they know, there’s 51 percent matter versus 49 percent anti-matter — things tip in the scale of the positive,” she added. “So that is what I focus on.”
The “Princess Diaries” star told the publication she tries to brush off the backlash.
“I live my life with love,” she said. “I live my life with compassion. I live my life hoping the best for absolutely everyone, no matter how they feel about me. And when you live that way, it’s amazing how beautiful every day can be.”
Us Weekly also reported today that Hathaway practiced her Oscar speech to be more likable.
“She was very aware that she had been the butt of everyone’s jokes,” the source said.
