W4F Tweets the Oscars: 2013 Edition
February 25, 2013 by S David Acuff
Filed under /Editorials, /Festivals, /Headlines
Critics and Movie lovers agree 100%…
“It was the best Academy Awards ever!” and “It was the absolute worst Academy Awards ever!”
So there’s that.
If you didn’t get to see it you missed quite a bit of action: Singing and Dancing, James Tiberius Kirk, A Song about Boobs, J. Law tripping up the stairs, J. Law recovering beautifully, VFX Guys getting played off the stage as they’re just about to ask for money for their broke FX house, More singing and dancing, Lincoln Assassination joke (too soon?), Captain Von Trapp and the Von Trapp Family Singers (almost), More singing, more dancing, about a half a billion tributes, a Chicago Musical resurgence tribute, a 007 tribute, a J. Law tribute tribute, Russell Crowe singing on key….over all a high powered and successfully glamorous evening. Or a complete, over-rated, over-hyped waste of screen real estate. Again, depending on who you ask.
But W4F tweeted all the action, fast and furiously, and while we are currently icing our digits from the 4-hour type-fest, here for your reading pleasure, we present to you the results of an iconic evening…
Imagining Stewie and Ted pumping up Seth MacFarlane backstage with some sort of Gladiator speech, only more poop jokes #oscars #w4f
