10:20pm Kinda felt Oprah deserved a better intro. Kinda…

11:29pm ” I have some impulses I have to tend to backstage…”
Tracey says
I missed the Oscars for the first time in as long as I can remember. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever missed them. To say “I’m bummed” is a gross understatement.
I feel so… un-relevant. I can hardly stand myself.
Le sigh. 🙁
Sara says
love this! I specifically left my phone in the basement because I knew I’d stay up all night reading tweets!!! but it would have been WAY more enjoyable than the actual show (which truth be told…I only made through the first hour it was too painful)…
Ali says
My most favorite of your tweets:
This is like the Spider-Man musical of awards shows.
