Are You On James’ List?: James Franco is planning on continuing his Oscar night in the wee hours of the following morning. The nominee and host for film’s biggest night revealed his party plans to Canada’s eTalk, via The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m a partner in a bar that’s opening up, and the after-after-after-after-party is going to be at my new bar,” James told eTalk. “It’s at a secret location. And that’s what I’m looking forward to because I’m going to be singing there at the bar. I’ll be singing at the Oscars, but there will be a private performance at my new bar.” Adding, “It’s called the Writer’s Room… It’s in LA. That’s all I can say because I can’t fit everybody. Everybody at the Governors Ball will not fit into my new bar, but it’ll be going down.”
