The commentary on social media during Sunday’s Academy Awards broadcast was often more entertaining than the show itself.
Here are some of the funniest Oscar tweets. Think of them as notes from the peanut gallery:
“Shhhh. I’m live tweeting from directly under Sandra Bullocks chair.” — Rainn Wilson (rainnwilson), actor.
“Looks like a Young Victoria sweep.” — David Wain (davidwain), comedian.
“Shortest Oscar story in history: ( ! > $ )” — Roger Ebert (ebertchicago), film critic.
“Jeff Bridges is quickly closing in on Matthew McConaughey for ‘best actor who has become a character from an early movie.’ ” — Bill Simmons (sportsguy33), ESPN columnist.
“Oscars Fun Fact — Samuel L. Jackson spends 40 percent of his yearly income on Kangol hats …” — Eric Stangel (EricStangel), “Late Show With David Letterman” writer-producer.
“Oprah’s about to tell everyone in the audience there’s an Oscar under their seat.” — Foster Kamer (weareyourfek), blogger.
“James Cameron is going into his own hurt locker right now.” — Paul Scheer (paulscheer), comedian.
