Film's biggest night returned tonight to the Los Angeles Dolby Theatre, where the best and brightest names in cinema gathered for the 95th annual Academy Awards. Jimmy Kimmel also returned to the Oscars stage as the ceremony's host, following his previous gigs in 2017 and 2018. Among the evening's nominees were Michelle Yeoh, Cate Blanchett, Paul Mescal, Austin Butler, Ana de Armas, and so many more. Other stars—like Florence Pugh, Salma Hayek, and Jessica Chastain—attended the occasion as presenters.
With a roomful of A-listers, it's no surprise that people had quite a few things to say online about the live televised show. Ahead, the 52 funniest Twitter reactions to the 2023 Oscars, from Angela Bassett's Oscars snub to the endless jokes about The Slap.
