Live snarking Seth MacFarlane turning Oscarcast into extended Family Guy episode

My tweets and running commentary on Seth MacFarlane's turn hosting 2013 Academy Awards

  1. Am I the only one noticing the #Oscars red carpet sound going in and out? Sounds like Kimmel's unnecessary censorship bit.
  2. Celeb logrolling at its finest: RT @KChenoweth: I think Anne Hathaway may be #bestdressed! http://pic.twitter.com/0zktPVUeDa
  3. Wish I had Oprah money so I could pay some of these #Oscar stars & starlets to say something really awful (or honest!) about their co-stars!
  4. Alright Seth. Time to prove Ted wasn't a fluke. #Oscars
  5. "The quest to make Tommy Lee Jones laugh begins now." MacFarland with a joke that does, indeed make Jones laugh at #Oscars
  6. Hmm. Wish MacFarlane hadn't started with a quest to make Tommy lee Jones laugh and stuck with trying to entertain rest of us at #Oscars
  7. Said Django script was "loosely based on Mel Gibson's voice mails." ugh. Nice try Seth at #Oscars.
  8. Are actresses pretending to hate Seth MacFarlane's "We Saw Your Boobs" song or are they just channeling Twitter at #Oscars?
  9. So did Seth MacFarlane just outsource his dancing in #Oscars to Channing Tatum?
  10. MacFarlane stumbles delivering "Denzel made Nutty Professor movies" #Oscar joke. Think he flashed on Eddie Murphy & Denzel kicking his butt?
  11. For me, #Oscars opening a lot like Family Guy; some really funny parts surrounded by lots of stuff I wish he hadn't done...
  12. Weird to see #Oscars open with song about actresses boobs, MacFarlane making out with Sally Field and taking shots at Adele...
  13. That #Oscars opening felt like a Family Guy rorschach test; if you love MacFarlane's animated shows, you probably loved the opening.
  14. When even Paul Rudd and Melissa McCarthy have trouble being funny as presenters, you know its gonna be a long #Oscars.
  15. I made this joke when he won last year, but it still looks like Edgar Winter just won #Oscar for Life of Pi cinematography.
  16. @bsabatinelli Can't stand Family Guy. So I'll be complaining about MacFarlane's humor all night.
  17. Wow. This #Oscars band ain't messing around when they play you off! "Jaws" theme music until your mic gets cut!
  18. Jokes about George Clooney's great looks would go over better if he wasn't sporting a big ol's Paul Bunyan beard at #Oscars
  19. After the backlash to my George Clooney #Oscars beard joke, I am now officialy growing a big ol' Paul Bunyan beard myself!
