The Funniest Twitter Reactions To The 2017 Oscars

The 2017 Oscars just wrapped up (full winners list here). Were you watching every moment, perhaps getting insanely blitzed thanks to a drinking game If so, you may not have been watching Twitter make jokes about celebrities reading mean tweets or Ryan Gosling inspiring a new meme or Hailee Steinfeld jokingly trying to steal an unaccompanied Oscar statuette or Matt Damon’s feud with Kimmel or all of those musical performances.

And Twitter even reacted amusingly to the inspiring moments, like Viola Davis and Mahershala Ali‘s speeches upon winning their first (and hopefully not last) Oscars. (We will, of course, have a separate reactions post to that insane Moonlight development.)

It started with people picking their favorite outfits during the pre-show:

Then things got rolling, and people noticed things sometimes look like other things:

La La Land surprisingly didn’t sweep this thing, leading to tweets like this earlier in the night:

— Connor Thompson (@cpethompson) February 27, 2017

And everyone made a variation of the joke that Viola Davis’ Oscar acceptance speech should win an Oscar next year, but only one guy thought of this brilliance *kisses fingertips*:

— Daniel D'Addario (@DPD_) February 27, 2017

And some people got tired of all the jokes about difficulties pronouncing nominees’ names:

And people got salty about white actors playing Asian characters or white saviors:

But most saved their salt (or their perhaps-ironic cheering) for Suicide Squad — sorry, Academy Award-Winning Film Suicide Squad™ — getting more Oscars than so many things.

"Suicide Squad" has more Oscars than "Carol," in case you needed a reason to take to the streets this evening. #Oscars

— Louis Virtel (@louisvirtel) February 27, 2017

Suicide Squad has officially won more Oscars than Michael B Jordan and Michael Regular Jordan COMBINED. #SMDH

— Steven Wilber (@WilberWithAnE) February 27, 2017

I can't believe every copy of every other movie is being burned and replaced with Suicide Squad. So dumb!

People seemed surprised when Hacksaw Ridge won the Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing:

— pourmecoffee (@pourmecoffee) February 27, 2017

I'm surprised that Mel Gibson allowed any sort of mixing.

So sad for the guy who spent a long weekend sound editing the birds into the engine for Sully

— Paul Gale (@ImPaulGale) February 27, 2017

But not as surprised as these tourists were:

— Justin Kirkland (@justinkirkland4) February 27, 2017

No one google Gary. Just leave it alone. Remember Ken Bone.

Nicole Kidman is passing around Purell to everyone in the front row right now #Oscars

— Matt Oswalt (@MattOswaltVA) February 27, 2017

And when Denzel didn’t win, some people were not here for that:

And John Legend’s excellent La La Land medley didn’t go unnoticed:

— Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) February 27, 2017

It'd be fun if J.K. Simmons came out and fired John Legend right now.

And the rest:

Ah to be making $500,000 per picture and a portion of the gross and still be fascinated by a $1 box of candy falling from the ceiling

The death montage starts. First, an American flag. The crowd gasps. It's too late. Banksy's already in the getaway car.

Yes, but how many people who voted for "La La Land" were trying to type "Bye Bye Man" #Oscars

— Daniel "Kibblesmith" (@kibblesmith) February 27, 2017

The guy that starts his Oscar speech with "this never gets old" is the very best LA has to offer

— Karen Kilgariff (@KarenKilgariff) February 27, 2017

The "In Memoriam" segment is just going to be all the people who've died since this thing started. #Oscars

— Bryan Donaldson (@TheNardvark) February 27, 2017

Just once I wish they'd do a montage with the theme, "Movies: Most of Them Stink." #Oscars

— Paul F. Tompkins (@PFTompkins) February 27, 2017

What an ending to the last Oscars ceremony ever
