Tweetweek: The Oscars are Coming! The Oscars are Coming!
Saturday, February 25, 2017 at 5:31PM 
People get soooo crazy this time of year when Oscar anticipation (and predictable backlashes) reaches its peak. Seriously, people have lost their minds in the countdown to La La Land's triumph. One article this week even proclaimed it a fascist film. HAHAHA. Oh Oscar season. Never stop bringing the insanity.
So The Film Experience has no choice but to endorses this Tweet as TWEET OF THE WEEK -- it's such a perfect satirical jab at the madness. (More of the best tweets of the week, most of them Oscar focused, are after the jump...)
Just saw La La Land mugging an old lady in an alleyway.

I've tried to maintain a sense of irony about the takedowns, but "LA LA LAND is fascist propaganda" may be the development that breaks me.

Reminder that your "the Academy needs to nominate a superhero movie or no one will watch anymore" take is supported by no data whatsoever.

If I had to summarize my taste in movies in a few words it'd be "Nominated for Original Screenplay but not Picture" pic.twitter.com/GlOOIygorM

I rewatched MOULIN ROUGE again recently. An all-time underrated movie. A masterpiece. The Fury Road of musicals.

After watching LOGAN and JOHN WICK 2 (again) in the same day, I'm ready to not see anyone shot in or near the face for awhile.

Terrible Oscar decisions that no one talks about, #158: nominating 'Kiss the Girl' instead of 'Part of Your World' from THE LITTLE MERMAID.

OFF MOVIES --
ANOTHER WORLD DOES EXIST. IT'S JUST NOT AS FUN TO THINK ABOUT...
.@realDonaldTrump is trying to embargo the press. If you make movies, you know the only reason to do that is if your shit sucks.

Would like it if press stopped referring to bigots as "provocateurs," like they're Madonna in a cone bra in 1990 instead of fans of the KKK.

Barack Obama, La La Land, Twitter, politics

I woke up with a headache, two blemishes, and gas this morning.
I blame La La Land.
My final words on the La La Land "backlash": I watched Singin' in the Rain (two Oscar nominations, zero wins) on a plane yesterday. Masterpiece.
*plays Another Day of Sun to drown the noise of people whose favourite movie is not winning Best Picture*
I hope Ryan Gosling wins tomorrow to piss off all the haters. LA LA LAND is awesome.
I guess all Ryans stick together.
I love that tweet about the original screenplays.. so so true
Original Screenplays is, in fact, the truest tweet of the week.
Chris Rock was so right there's no Acting at the Oscars BOO Ryan and Emma sitting it out.
