Let’s face it, the whole concept of The Acadamy Awards aka Oscars felt already outdated before a global pandemic hit everyone. But since then, it’s more like watching an absurd comedy show, that’s far too unrealistic to be a real thing. Still, there’s hope: even the people attending and working within the business aren’t taking it too serious anymore, which brought us some really nice Tweets. Enjoy!

If you told me as a 16 year old while listening to “I Wanna Fuck You Like an Animal” that during a future pandemic Trent Reznor would win an Oscar for a Disney movie I would say “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHG FUTURE MAN GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY CAR I’M VERY HIGH!!”
