The 85th Academy Awards

Sunday, Feb. 24 marks the 85th time Oscar will be in the spotlight in Hollywood. Follow the social media buzz about this event from red carpet to final goodbye.

  1. The main event:
  2. Nice of Seth Macfarlane to host the Oscars and bash the hell out of AMPAS for ignoring Ben Affleck.
  3. Ugh! FAIL! @channingtatum should not be dancing on the #Oscars unless he's doing Magic Mike moves!
  4. James Franco is giggling and pointing and wheezing and rolling on the floor. He's not watching the Oscars, though.
  5. Perfect. The only one who didn't overact their way into a nom. Very good start to the #oscars - #waltzforever
  6. It's only fitting that brave's director is wearing a kilt #Oscars
  7. RT @daveweigel: So Seth McFarlane gets to preside over "The Simpsons" losing an award. #Oscars
  8. @SethMacFarlane Has everyone forgotten about SHIRLEY TEMPLE AT THE AGE OF 6 YEARS, YOUNGEST NOM & WINNER???? #oscars
  9. Awkward acceptance speeches are great because then I don't feel like the only awkward person on this planet #Oscars
  10. The score to Jaws. Now THAT'S how you play someone off. #Oscars
  11. Getting tired of thinking that a giant shark is gonna come through the wall every time someone goes to long on their Oscar speech. #Oscars
  12. Apparently the key to being nominated for best costume design is to have your film set in the 19th Century. #Oscars
  13. And the winner for best makeup and hair is wearing...neon tights and a pashmina. Ok? Ok. #oscars
  14. If you'd told me someone could make an compelling Bond clip compilation I wouldn't have believed you. The #Oscars just proved me wrong #Fail
