It's been a busy week plus with SAG Awards, political caucus craziness, Grease Live! and continuing Oscar conversations so here's a brief collection of some favorite tweets from the past week plus, kicking off the very important news that Mad Max Fury Road's Oscar-nominated maestro George Miller has been named the jury president of the venerable Cannes Film Festival this May. That's one more feather in his cap in a very big season for the director.

I almost hope THE BIG SHORT wins an editing award this season because I'd love to see a chainsaw walk onstage & give an acceptance speech.

If your social conscience awakened only after seeing the 2016 Oscar nominations for acting, put the mic down.
