The Gaga/Billy Porter picture from tonight NEEDS to happen. And it will be perfect.
Y’all saw Billy, right?
Billy. Porter. Is. A. Star. And. We. Must. Learn. To. Appreciate. Him. As. He. Deserves. To. Be. Appreciated.
In other news, this is my #Oscars thread. News followers, be warned. Also, though, new followers tonight be warned: In the morning, I’ll be at the Supreme Court bright and early tweeting about that. I contain multitudes. 😘
gays rn: i guess we have the tonys?
The #Oscars get so real so quickly!
Regina or Rachel. Or Amy, bc, it’s deserved!
Regina King was so incredible in this film, another example of Barry Jenkins’ mastery and James Baldwin’s everliving and everlasting genius.
Well, she made me cry, if you want to know where I’m starting from tonight.
I actually loved aspected of it, but I’m not sure I understand how VICE is a Best Picture nominee. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, if you have no idea what you’re saying, nor do we. That’s that.
Melissa McCarthy. That’s all.
Ruth Carter is the first black person to win the Oscar for costume design. apnews.com/9e816c52e4e04f…
Production design is another landmark: “Hannah Beachler is the first African-American ever nominated for the award in production design. She helped create the cinematic world of Wakanda.” npr.org/2019/02/22/696…
Was NOT expecting to see the Supreme Court until the morning, tbh. 🏛 
Here was the court on the snow day (for federal employees OTHER THAN the Supreme Court) last week. Justice Ginsburg read her opinion in this case from the bench that morning: buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
THIS INTRODUCTION. 👀
“THE DIVINE MISS M.”
And I passed out.
And I passed out.
It’s no bathhouse, but I guess it’ll do.
FAV IT, YOU COWARDS.
Keegan-Michael Key just descended from the sky as Mary Poppins to introduce Bette Midler singing at the #Oscars.
I need to keep that memory front and center for a while.

What is happening?!
Richard E. Grant.
Grant winning would help me to ignore some of this Bohemian stuff happening.
I mean, sure. Mahershala Ali is great. But, for this?
Go watch Can You Ever Forgive Me? It’s an incredible portrait of queer lives of a type that we almost never get to see in films, let alone Oscar-nominated ones.
Speaking of queer icons. Laura Dern.
Spider-Verse was so good — a complete delight and so well done.

“Weekends” was better, but OK.
The documentary shorts were all really great. I thought “End Game” was the best one, but honestly, all five were so compelling.
Diego Luna and @chefjoseandres on stage together, introducing ROMA. OK, that’s definitely another DC reference!
SPOILER, SARAH!
HERE. WE. GO.
Kudos to them. This is impressive.
Just give Gaga her Oscar now.
They literally just got up from their seats, walked up to the stage, and sang out at the #Oscars. They did that.
WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED.
This is NOT the Oscar-winning live-action short film. I refuse to believe it.
Oh. God. Green Book?
Spike Lee with a speech and look aimed at keeping your attention. Discussing the history of slavery in America and fast-forwarding to the 2020 election, Lee ends with: “Let’s do the right thing!” Laughing, he adds, “You know I had to get that in there!”
Don’t play that Titanic score! I’m in a delicate place!
Wu and Boseman are 🔥💯🔥
Break the internet.
Oscar winner Lady Gaga.

So, something nice happened.
Zoe and I have strong feelings about the shorts. Always.
“Truth is especially precious these days,” Barbra Streisand says, to applause, in introducing BlacKkKlansman.
Interesting award presentation decision with Oldman, yes?
I like Rami’s work so much. This just feels so weird. Sigh.
A lot of beautiful stuff in there. And yet, sigh.
Rep. John Lewis is introducing Green Book, along with Amandla Stenberg, best known for her role as Rue in The Hunger Games.
🚨 WE ARE AT LEADING ACTRESS.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow wow. Wowodichfjdjfmv.
Olivia Colman was incredible, don’t get me wrong. Glenn Close is inimitable, Melissa McCarthy is so much better than anyone still gives her credit for, and Lady Gaga well, she got her Oscar, but did so well.
Olivia to Glenn: “This is not how I wanted it to be.

[Note: I haven’t seen Roma, btw, though I know it’s going to be very good! I was going to go last night, but E Street wasn’t playing it late any more, and I want to see it on the big screen — not on Netflix.]
Don’t worry. It’s a mistake.
Where is Warren Beatty?! Where is Faye Dunaway?! I NEED YOU NOW!
You know guys, the idea of CRASH and GREEN BOOK hanging out together in the Worst Best Picture Winners section of #Oscars heaven, kinda makes me smile.
And, that’s that on that.
The evening news was talking about “enormous blind spots,” and it turned out it was about how dangerous tall-sitting trucks can be if kids are around — and not the #Oscars.
