The Best Tweets of Oscar Night
Monday, March 3, 2014 at 5:01PM
NATHANIEL R in Benedict Cumberbatch, Frozen, Idina Menzel, John Travolta, Matthew McConaughey, Oscar Ceremonies, Twitter, religiosity

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?)

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.
