Best Oscar Tweets
Tuesday, March 6, 2018 at 8:00AM Live awards shows prompt sure-fire tweetstorms and usually well into the following day to. There were a lot of Oscar themed tweets to choose from Sunday night and on hangover day. We've curated several great ones for you but we should warn you that none will probably match Jordan Peele's twofer.
I just won an Oscar. WTF?!?

We've curated several great ones for you but we should warn you that none will probably match Jordan Peele's twofer above. Get Out will be hard to top but we'll love to see him try since he's brilliant.
After the jump some Dunkirk ribbing, Sally Kirkland's ballsy proclamation, Post Oscar crashing, and other random funny, thought-provoking or celebrity-laden tweets. So give it a look...
I call my ex Dunkirk because I haven't thought about him since summer

How Laurie and I would normally get ready for an award show!

She is going to look stunning in Siriano tonight. Congrats to my friend on your nomination. #lauriemetcalf #ladybird #oscars pic.twitter.com/PW4ndBaIs0

I still have an #Oscars worthy performance left in me -- one that allows me to chew up the scenery! #Anna #Oscars90 #Oscars2018 pic.twitter.com/NDWJcA4ifF

I am very much looking forward to Paul Thomas Anderson winning his first Academy Award for the 480-minute documentary “Maya and Tiffany Hanging Out on Our Patio.”

Hello darling followers. Please tell me that In Memoriam didn’t omit Dorothy Malone who WON A FREAKING OSCAR. I am old and I just missed it right?
— Farran Nehme (@selfstyledsiren) March 5, 2018
I will tell you one thing: Guillermo del Toro would NEVER have left off Dorothy Malone.

Seacrest called Janney’s performance “so moving” and Rancic called Harrelson’s performance “heart-wrenching.” Do these people not see the movies, not know what these words mean, or both?

James Ivory and Jordan Peele winning back to back Oscars is about as good a generational handoff as you can ask for

I heard somebody refer to “The Shape of Water” as “Grinding Nemo” and I’m never going to get over it.

When I produce the Oscars, the Best Actor and Supporting Actor Oscars will be given out at the non-televised gala and every Best Actress and Supporting Actress nominee will give a speech.

A movie written by a woman and a mexican immigrant abt a disabled woman, a black woman and a gay man fighting against monstrous straight white masculinity just won best picture #Oscars

This is the first year since '81 that Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress were over the age of 50. That's happened six times in the Actor/Supporting Actor categories in the same period.

Kumail Nanjiani would make a really great Oscars host for next, or any year.

"one of"...? It's THE WORST. Okay no, agreed. It's one of the worst because once the conversations die down the ohmygoditsoverforawholeyear sets in and that's rough stuff. The following week is always depression crash time for me. How about you?

I think my favourite is that one reaction shot of Jennifer Garner clapping and then... suddenly realizing something. It's haunting and I can't stop watching it.
I felt the same way about Harry Styles and Fionn Whitehead as that tweeter does about Lucas Hedges! They starred in a Best Picture nominee and multiple winner! The Academy always want younger blood watching, inviting Mr. Styles along would certainly have achieved that!

"If I didn't get nominated for Juno, I never will" -- That's what she was thinking!
Yeah, I am TOTALLY FINE with this Oscar season being over. It may not have been as mean as many of them but it was mean enough, especially if you really loved some of the films.
I'll be glad to retreat into watching old films for awhile and not thinking about the Oscars, though I'm not sure how successful that'll be, as I'm already hoping Amy Adams finally wins next year.
Dorothy Malone exclusion was inexplicable. Wanna know the next steps of Peele, Chalamet, Gerwin and Metcalf.
Actually I'm happier than many years. I really liked the show this year.
The grind of the season where they inexplicably choose the boring nominees, fixate on arbitrary "locks", get caught up in predicting rather than choosing and appreciating artistry, is over.
But this year it was sweetened by a good awards show. No sleazy guys making lame jokes, no smart actresses having to read stupid patter. I could really see how well spoken and thoughtful so many people were. That leaves me with a feeling of buoyancy.
I have scant doubt Sally Kirkland has another powerhouse performance in her - her work in ANNA is something that ought to be shown and taught in acting school!
OMG. Nanjiani is a GREAT idea for a host next year.
"Grinding Nemo" is just the smile I needed during this post-Oscars mood-crash.
I think Tobe Hooper was also left out of the In Memorium segment (Can anyone confirm?)
Rita Moreno as President.... oh, if that is true. I'd feel safer and more relaxed. Especially with that cabinet. Tiffany Haddish as the director of Homeland Security. I'd feel very safe knowing that our security is in the hands of someone that knows how to talk it and walk it.
Ryan Seacrest is so full of shit. E! is a shitty channel and there will be a special place in Hell for Seacrest.
Beanie Feldstein looks beautiful. I can't believe she's Jonah Hill's sister.
Dorothy Malone, Tobe Hooper, John Mahoney, Glen Campbell, Adam West, John Gavin, Nanette Fabray, John Hurt, Powers Boothe, Miguel Ferrer...
My high school students who know I used to be an entertainment writer have been asking me since yesterday the following series of questions.
Did you see The Shape of Water? Is it really about a woman [redacted] a fish monster?
To which I say: Yes, of course, and no, he's an amphibian.
THAT'S who she looks like!!! No wonder! Thank you thevoid99
Nanjiani was easily the funniest person of the night. He could be a great host!
Ryan Seacrest ? They just gave an Oscar to a raper !
P.T. Klugman - Shush! The Liberals don't mention that. Just like they don't mention that Oprah and Harvey are great friends, and that Harvey gave millions of dollars to the Democrats.
It's good to hear it's not only me who gets depressed after oscar night. It happens to me every year and I hate the feeling. What do you guys do to prevent it?
Ps: My favorite tweet is @Chris_Hanna, because I'd do that too!
