Potential Oscar Nominee James Franco Gets 'D' in Acting Class

James Franco will be in the thick of the Oscar race this year thanks to his performance in 127 Hours, but that doesn't mean everyone thinks he's a good actor. At the premiere of Howl last night, Franco revealed he got a 'D' in a recent acting class at NYU, though he isn't sure how that happened. "I did the work, I did well in everything else," he told Roger Friedman. Maybe his teacher saw Flyboys. [Showbiz411]
