The Best Tweets of Oscar Night
Monday, March 3, 2014 at 5:01PM And if Matthew McConaughey can be his own hero, I can include some of my own tweets, too! But I'll be sure to thank God as well because everything i have comes fro...
If only Bradley's arm was longer. Best photo ever. #oscars pic.twitter.com/C9U5NOtGap

I share the tweets primarily because Ellen DeGeneres made history last night with this selfie... which isn't really a selfie because Bradley Cooper took it ...although maybe not because that's a really wide view for a selfie. And there were other versions of this picture suggesting multiple cameras, like the one I tweeted below. a selfie that's not really a selfie that contains multitudes and all of our fantasies and dreams... and Lupita's brother.

FUN TWEETS after the jump. Enjoy them. Retweet them. Be glad we all live in a time when there are so many enjoyable clever people to play with each day on the internet. (It's the silver lining of twitter ruining television watching because who is even looking at the right screen anymore, amirite?)

On "Let it Go"
I guess I'm rooting for the song from "Frozen" because I never got super drunk and called my boyfriend crying while listening to the U2 song

RANDOMNESS
earlier i was highly disturbed to see some tweets in my timeline that weren’t Oscar related. Thankfully those people have died

I just want to be clear that Cate Blanchett once kissed both my cheeks so my cheeks have basically won every award on earth.

She makes everything sound so OFFICIAL. You're not a nominee until you've been read out by Viola Davis.

Haha these are all great. Love Meryl eating the pizza. She knows how to because of Julie & Julia, of course.
Ellen's "official" photo can't really be the photo Bradley took with the cellphone: everyone's eyes are looking in the wrong direction. And with that group, it's impossible to believe that they wouldn't have known how to train their eyes on the lens.
I've seen multiple shots of that scene from different angles. The most heartbreaking of them all is the one from behind. Liza so bravely/desperately/annoyingly/courageously tried to be included (insert whatever adjective best describes the sentiment you wish to project).
She took quite a few hits during the evening (no, I'm not referencing drugs). Regarding the failed attempt to get into the selfie, the great singer/actress maintained a sense of humor, telling the Wall Street Journal that “This picture explains why I never played basketball.”

Brad Pitt looks butch eating pizza- and thank God he cut his hair
That picture of Meryl is wonderful.
Though the pizza bit went on a little long during the telecast, no complaints about it are valid because THOSE PICTURES.
I feel bad for Liza. Maybe her best days are behind her, but she's much more talented and a bigger star than any of the cool kids in the photo. (Okay, maybe not Meryl.) She's crazy, but in a fun, fabulous way. In any interview I've seen, she receive jibes with good humor.
Why invite her and then only make her the butt of jokes? Really, the indignity of getting nothing more than a little wave from the audience before listening to Pink sing her mother's signature song.
You just know every stylist and designer in Hollywood saw that pizza and had a mini-stroke.
As a New Yorker, that looked like d list pizza
A special tribute to movies with protagonists
YES!
My absolute favorite post-Oscar post!
Omg the tweets in randomness were hilarious..especially the first one!!
