Check Our Feed: Comedians React to Oscar Night on Twitter!
Don’t Like The People You Follow? Try Ours. Comedians We Follow Reacting to Sunday’s Academy Awards on Twitter.
We love the people we follow on Twitter. We follow more than 2,100 of the funniest people on the planet, and there’s no better time to follow every comedian than on Oscar Night! Especially when there’s no host! Fortunately, these comedians stepped up and filled in with plenty of jokes of their own. From the red carpet to the final Academy Award of the night, these comedians kept the punchlines going through the whole ceremony.
Watching the Academy Awards pre-show and red carpet entrances, the comics told Twitter how they felt about this year’s Oscar looks and what they were expecting during the 91st Academy Awards presentation.
You are about to watch a show celebrating the most useless people on the planet. They play make believe. In Shakespeare’s day they were treated like the drunk, useless narcissists they are & writers were celebrated. Writing & production is hard. Anyone including Ice T can act.

With no host this year, the Oscars decided to open the show with Queen performing with Adam Lambert. The comedians on Twitter had this to tweet about the opening act.
I didn’t know Adam Lambert was hosting the Oscars. #Oscar
— The Sklar Brothers (@SklarBrothers) February 25, 2019
Glenn Close and Allison Janney wooping it up to an American Idol tribute to Queen is why I can't stop eating candy.

The Oscars are so mad at Kevin Hart that they wouldn’t even let Jay HART talk when he won.

No host is a start. Now we just need no lights or cameras.

I don’t know why they wouldn’t let me host the #Oscars I never say anything offensive.

The no host thing really forces you to focus on what the #Oscars truly are – a contest.

It’s funny when they insert a clip from a movie in the In Memoriam montage after a photo of a director or editor, like “Their movie died, too”
— Paul F. Tompkins (@PFTompkins) February 25, 2019
That woman’s “I did my best” speech was great. They should have played her off with James Ingram’s Just Once and gone straight into the In Memoriam segment. (Google the damn lyrics)
