In our modern era, highly broadcasted television events are inevitably accompanied by a treasure trove of social media commentary. That was the case during last night’s Oscars, where the best comments provided almost as much entertainment as the show itself.
Many took shots at host Neil Patrick Harris:
Presenting awards is the opposite of funny #oscars

Also, much attention was paid to Matthew McConaughey’s “I’ve been living in my Lincoln” beard:

As for James here, he may be on to something:
Wait a minute… Affleck plays Batman and gives an award to a film starring a former Batman? CONSPIRACY! #Oscars2015

Unfortunately, “Best Picture” may have offended some of our feathery friends:
Ok Mr. Oscars how about I make movie call Manbird. Shoe is on the other feets now I can't even wear shoe.

Although the ratings for the Oscars were the lowest in 6 years, last night’s Twitter game was certainly on point.
