Maybe it was the perma-grin, the squinty eyes or just the generally goofy vibe he gave off.

But whatever the reason, a lot of the online chatter this morning is centered around the fact that Oscar host James Franco looked high to many folks during last night's ceremony. We'll probably never know whether he was or wasn't, but that of course hasn't stopped people on the Interwebs from opining -- with supreme confidence -- on the subject.

Let's go to the tweets.
