Alfonso Cuaron thanks the "wise guys at Warner Bros... Er, wise people" #Oscars #Gravity

— Andrea Morabito (@andreamorabito) March 3, 2014

Gravity had a budget of $100 Million to show science fiction. $100 million would fund 100 NIH grants for 4 years to do science fact. #Oscars

Please welcome the wickedly talented, one and only, Adele Dazeeb.
~ Actor John Travolta, introducing a woman named Idina Menzel

If anyone missed John Travolta butchering Idina Menzel's name, there's a vine you can watch on repeat until you die. https://t.co/EfdInBJWHw

As a friend of mine wrote on Facebook tonight, maybe "Adele Dazeem" is a Scientology call to the mother ship. #Oscars #JohnTravolta
— Russell Schaffer (@RussOnPolitics) March 3, 2014

I think John Travolta pronounced Idina Menzel's name in Japanese. #Oscars

Not only does he call her Adele Dazeem, but she's the "one and only" Adele Dazeem. So he was wrong twice.
— Scott Weinberg (@scottEweinberg) March 3, 2014

The big winner tonight is newcomer Adele Dazeem.

Ellen Degeneres just said Idina Menzel's name five times to atone for the assassination Travolta did upon it. #Oscars

Tension for Writer and Director of Twelve Years a Slave?

— Dave (@popguynyc) March 3, 2014

What happened between Ridley and McQueen? So much shade .... #Oscars
— sfpelosi (@sfpelosi) March 3, 2014

@popguynyc @SamuelAAdams neither thanked each other in their speeches
— Seb Moore (@seb_moore) March 3, 2014

And by the way, Director Steve McQueen is NOT an American

Earth to .@RollingStone come in please. Steve McQueen is not African-American. Come in please. https://t.co/SNQdHzuw7f
— Ｇｕｓ (@Gus_802) March 3, 2014

Steve McQueen is British, folks. RT @RollingStone: #12YearsASlave's #Oscar the first time a film by an African-American has won Best Picture

Beautifully said Cate Blanchett: "Women sell tickets. Women buy tickets. The world is round, people!" #SPEAKTRUTHTOPOWER #Oscars2014
— Karen Carpenter (@KCdirector) March 3, 2014

Best part of Blanchett's speech was the lukewarm applause when she thanked Woody Allen
— keithlaw (@keithlaw) March 3, 2014

Blanchett thanked Woody Allen, and people clapped. You people are sick. #Oscars2014
— Razor (@hale_razor) March 3, 2014

Cate Blanchett points out that audiences want to see stories about women. I agree, but I don't want them written & directed by Woody Allen.
— Tashia G. (@HipsAndHangers) March 3, 2014

My favorite part was when Cate Blanchett made a strong feminist statement then called herself ugly and thanked a sexual predator.
— Christine Nangle (@nanglish) March 3, 2014

Did Cate Blanchett just thank her agent, publicist and hair and make-up people? Get her off the stage. #Oscars
— Brendan Kelly (@brendanshowbiz) March 3, 2014

YES THANK GOD THOSE SPECIAL EFFECTS WIZARDS MADE HAG CATE BLANCHETT INTO A PASSABLE HUMAN BEING
— Lindy West (@thelindywest) March 3, 2014

Of course Cate Blanchett won Best Actress. In Blue Jasmine, she acted and acted and acted. You couldn’t miss it, there was so much acting
— davidfrum (@davidfrum) March 3, 2014

I love Cate Blanchett and she totally deserved the Oscar but her dress looks like it has key tags hanging all over it.
— Geoff Ninecow (@geoff9cow) March 3, 2014

Is Cate Blanchett wearing a dress full of fishing lures???? #Oscars2014 #Oscars

McConaughey's speech: No mention of HIV. Or people with AIDS. Or ACT UP. Just God God God, who the wingnuts say *sent* AIDS. #Oscars
