We love our Twitter feed. We follow 2100 comedians on Twitter, plus have a few lists to keep track of the best of the best, so you can’t beat our feed when it comes to reading the funniest reactions to big group events. Last night, we watched the Academy Awards along with many of those 2100 comedian friends who posted on Twitter, and it definitely made the evening more interesting.
We can sum up the biggest moments of the Oscars pretty quickly: THEY FUCKED UP THE BEST PICTURE AWARD and every single person with access to Twitter ran for the same 3 jokes- why couldn’t this happen during the election, can we recheck ____ (insert favorite movie or actor who didn’t win something, ever) and Steve Harvey.
There were other flashpoints that everyone tweeted about- Halle Berry’s hair and Jeff Bridges’ beard, Judah Friedlander caught Jimmy Kimmel’s writers lifting a few jokes (or at least unaware that they had already been done and prominently), there was a massive divide on whether that bit bringing tour bus patrons into the Oscars was the funniest thing that’s ever happened, or really offensive, and while most comedians were tweeting that Kimmel did a tremendous job, a few weren’t happy about what they called cheap and easy jokes.
We chose some of our favorite tweets to share- these are the funniest tweets we saw with a few of the most controversial thrown in for good measure. If there was a Tweeter MVP, it might have to go to Mike Lawrence, who should have been writing for Kimmel.

The Musical Opening Number
I think they're accidentally airing the 1996 Grammys… #Oscars

Jimmy Kimmel’s Oscars Open
Kimmel just did my sitting ovation joke. Which i even wore as a hat on 30 rock 9 years ago. #Oscars
— Judah Friedlander (@JudahWorldChamp) February 27, 2017
There is no joy greater than watching Nicole Kidman attempt to dance.

It's great they dusted off that old Emerald City set from 'The Wiz' for the #Oscars. pic.twitter.com/6gkd6ndwaq

Anyone who groaned at that handjob joke can choke on a thousand dicks. #Oscars

#oscars @jimmykimmel is already crushing it. I feel bad for whoever is sitting behind Halle Berry's fro.
— Jeff Ross (@realjeffreyross) February 27, 2017
Kimmel did another old joke (not mine) about women losing weight for roles that fey & poehler did a fews ago on golden globes. #Oscars

The Awards
Suicide Squad winning an Oscar hurts me almost as much as saying the words "President Trump" #oscars
— Mike Lawrence (@TheMikeLawrence) February 27, 2017
Just saw Jeff Bridges and Casey Affleck climb into each others beards. #Oscars

Nichole Kidman claps like her hands are going to shatter into a million pieces.

PS I don't hate you if you liked La La Land– just think you're trash, etc. But still cute!!! Cute trash

Congrats to Hacksaw Ridge for becoming the worst movie to ever win an Oscar. #Oscars
— Joe List (@JoeListComedy) February 27, 2017
@JoeListComedy I stand corrected. Sort of. Suicide Squad is equally as bad

Thanking Mel Gibson is a bravest thing anyone's done tonight.

"We are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life"- Viola Davis not knowing what a doctor is #Oscars
— Mike Lawrence (@TheMikeLawrence) February 27, 2017
Viola Davis needed to take it down a notch or two. Looks like she was auditioning for next role. As an artist I like to only cry in my car.

The Tour Bus Bit
How funny! They tricked normal people. What a bunch of fucking idiots! Hahahahahahahahahah. They're so dumb and normal!
— Brooks Wheelan (@brookswheelan) February 27, 2017
I admire the people interested in Hollywood enough to take a Hollywood tour but OK to miss the Oscars. #Oscars
— Paul F. Tompkins (@PFTompkins) February 27, 2017
Letterman should get a residual check for this bit. #Oscars
— Kevin Brennan (@kevinbrennan666) February 27, 2017
One bad trend the past few years at the #oscars is for hollywood to bring in "regular" people to show how "down to earth" hollywood is.

"I like visiting intersections that have been seen on film but I'd rather eat glass than sit through a movie." #Oscars

Best Picture
Everybody in this airport lounge just went "Ugh!" when La La Land won… and not in a good way. #Oscars #SFOwantedMoonlight
— W. Kamau Bell (@wkamaubell) February 27, 2017
I haven't seen a showbiz fuckup like that since I showed up at 7:30 for a show that started at 7. #Oscars
— Todd Barry (@toddbarry) February 27, 2017
Don't y'all go blaming the old people for that one. They gave Warren Beatty the wrong envelope. It was probably Putin. #Moonlight #Oscars
— Official Wanda Sykes (@iamwandasykes) February 27, 2017
Despite his excuses, I think Warren Beatty was trying to be funny when he said the wrong picture, but it fell flat.
