Hellow it's time for a weekly quite random round up of tweets that amused us. This week's edition features Star Wars (always those wars in the stars), Leonardo DiCaprio and his bear, and a return to Room which just keeps giving us more... both from multiple viewings and Brie & Jacob on the campaign trail.
But first let's begin by noting that this tweet is exactly what I've been saying about Saoirse Ronan and the Oscar race. I've long thought she could actually win the Oscar (though the internet keeps telling me it's Brie Larson locked up). But this... this is FYC gold. (more after the jump)
"I am from the Bronx, as I'm sure you can tell... Saoirse from the Block, they call me." This is how Oscar campaigns are won. #NYFCC

The Force Never Hibernates
It would probably be frightening to map out hte world brain and see how much of it percentage wise was thinking about Star Wars at any given moment. Also check out Vera Farmiga Big-remake ready skills...
The Force is definitely with me. pic.twitter.com/rL6oMcrgKI

Miscellania
Because all topics deserve 149 characters. Twitter recently announced they'll change character limits to something astronomical like 1000 which basically means they'll stop being themselves and become a frankentstein monster of Tumblr/Facebook. At which point we'll be saved a LOT of time since it will be boring. We go there precisely for its amuse-bounce. How can they not realize this? Was Twitter raised without mirrors. Does it have no concept of the self?

Keep fantasizing about an awards show where the men had to show up in sleeveless/halter/off the shoulder. And I could go in pants.

Re: Christian Bale in THE BIG SHORT. Does this mean glass eyes are the new prosthetic nose of Oscar bait? pic.twitter.com/Bb2hh44VdQ

And the award for most editing, most male performance, most wig, most fake tan, most yelling, loudest music, all go to...THE BIG SHORT!

We don't need an origin story of Cruella de Vil. We need the origin story of the gay dalmatian who sacrifices himself for Cruella's glamor.

The nerve of DiCaprio to try to attract awards attention by collaborating with leading artists on compelling projects. What a jerk.
