Anne Hathaway made it clear that her Knicks fandom doesn’t waver.
During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday, Hathaway prioritized another Knicks championship over winning a second Academy Award while playing a game called “Best Thing Ever.”
The game forced her to choose among two things to decide which is the best and which she would “get rid of forever.”
Fallon held one card that said, “Another Oscar Win” and a second card labeled, “Another Knicks Championship.
Hathaway, a New York City native and lifelong Knicks fan, put down the card with the Oscar trophy on it and didn’t say anything.
That’s when the live audience in Studio 6B at 30 Rockefeller Plaza applauded and cheered on Hathaway’s pick.
“The way my nervous system is reacting to that choice is really intense,” she said with a laugh.
The Knicks won four of five to beat the Spurs in the 2026 NBA Finals to win their first championship in 53 years.
Hathaway won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2013 for her performance as Fantine in “Les Misérables.”
Earlier in the show, Fallon gifted Hathaway a signed jersey from Knicks star OG Anunoby.
“Are you serious? Oh my god!” Hathaway said before putting the jersey on.
The Knicks gave Hathaway, who is pregnant, a basket of gifts for her baby, along with a card that read, “All my best” signed by Anunoby.
“I’m so excited about my jersey,” Hathaway said.
During an April appearance on “The Tonight Show,” Hathaway told Fallon that she considered wearing an Anunoby jersey on the show because “when I’m at the game, I want them to know that I know who they are and that they’re going to win.”
The next night, the Anunoby scored 29 points and the Knicks pulled off a historic win over the Hawks in a series-clinching Game 6 in the first round of the playoffs.
Many said Hathaway was their good luck charm.
Hathaway has been a fan of Anunoby since he nearly crashed into her and her son while they sat courtside during a game at Madison Square Garden in 2024.
