Oscar night, for me, means popcorn, shushing those around me, and lots of tweeting. Here's a running list of what I've been posting myself or retweeting throughout the evening. Most recent tweets are at the top.

2/2 Critics should never confuse themselves as being part of the movie biz, rather than journalists covering it, even thru opinions. #Oscars

Retweeted by IBJ Arts
#oscars 'Nebraska'–the story of a fine actor at war with a condescending script and a directorial style that assumes quiet equals meaning.
