CELEB TWEETS

Oscars

* Nate Corddry (@imnatecorddry): Breaking: President Biden to slap Clint Eastwood during opening monologue.

* Zoë Rose Bryant (@ZoeRoseBryant): They may not all be your “personal picks,” but one thing I *do* love about this year’s acting winners quartet at the #Oscars is how they’re all actors who have been counted out - or shut out - at various points in their careers and came back against the odds to come out on top.

* Victor Shi (@Victorshi2020): Two years ago, Ke Huy Quan lost his health insurance after filming Everything Everywhere All At Once. Today, he just won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role. Everything Everywhere All At Once. Ke Huy Quan is an inspiration.
