Anne Hathaway Picks Knicks Title Over a Second Oscar

Anne Hathaway chose the prospect of another New York Knicks championship over winning a second Oscar during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she also received a signed jersey and a baby basket from the team. Fallon posed the choice during a Wednesday interview. Hathaway hesitated, then picked another Knicks title, saying the decision was making her nervous system react intensely. The exchange revisited her well-known support for the team, but the interview did not establish any connection between Hathaway and the Knicks’ results. Fallon presented Hathaway with a jersey signed by Knicks player OG Anunoby. She put it on during the interview and wore it as she returned to her seat. The host then gave her a baby basket sent by the team, along with a card signed by Anunoby. Hathaway thanked Fallon and said she felt spoiled, before the conversation turned back to her film. Fallon said Hathaway had previously given the Knicks a pep talk on his show before a game, and that headlines later credited her with the team’s win.
