8th (Mostly) Annual My Thoughts As I Had Them During The Oscars

For all but one of the last nine years I have been basically live tweeting the Oscars through my blog (even before Twitter existed!), but now, I actually do live tweet the Oscars and post the results here afterwards in this segment we call

MY THOUGHTS AS I HAD THEM DURING THE OSCARS!

You can follow along on Twitter during the Oscars next year with the hashtag (#MTAIHTDTO) or you can just wait a day and read them here.

So, with no further ado, the 8th (Mostly) Annual My Thoughts As I Had Them During the Oscars!

Calling out the racial issues in the first sentence.  Well done, NPH! #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO

Yep, if someone would pull a Kanye, it would probably be Eastwood. #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

As self congratulatory as that song was, thank goodness they had the Jack Black bit in the middle. #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

She'd better knock this presentation out of the park, because JK Simmons will win and he doesn't except any less than genius. #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

@joshuatoulouse damn... Accept* #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

"The Actor goes to... The Oscar goes to..." Oops. He's going to be pissed...  Did you see Whiplash!? #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

JK Simmons telling me to call my parents.  Will he pay for the international rates?  #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Way to set things up behind Rocket Raccoon while he's on camera.  #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Bradley Cooper is nominated for Guardians of the Galaxy right?  I heard he was playing someone good with guns.  #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Sweet, I had "Spanking Bench" in my Oscars Bingo sheet.  #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

By the way, is anyone else hoping for a HIMYM reunion!? #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

No joke here.  I just wanted to say, I love Wes Anderson.  #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

I love the face @ActuallyNPH makes after his puns.  "With her spoon, get it!?" #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

I also want to thank Wes.  I want to thank him for making amazing films.  #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Channing Tatum was in two of my Top Ten.  Both of them animated.  Not sure if that means anything.  Just saying.  #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

At least these people are diverse.  The winners won't be, but the "future of the Oscars" are!  #waittilnextyear? #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Oscar music apparently just means talk faster.  The #Oscars meanwhile, "Try and play him off again!" #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

In The Theory of Everything preview there they just cut around the Doctor Who joke.  Not cool, #Oscars. Not cool.  #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

We live in a world where Tegan and Sara and The Lonely Island have been part of the #Oscars and that is AWESOME.  #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

What a Scandal.  Arrested Development needs a new season.  #seewhatididthere #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

The Phone Call!? Wait a minute... Was JK Simmons foreshadowing!? #MTAIHTDTO #CallYourParents #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

He just pulled a Jennifer Lawrence!  #watchyourstep #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

I seriously love how everyone is basically ignoring the music playing them off.  #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Phones are the big winners today.  #CallYourParents #ThePhoneCall #CrisisHotline #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Hmm, Olivia Pope... Annalise...  ABC using the #Oscars to subtly advertise #ShondaLand #Scandal #HTGAWM #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Yes! @ActuallyNPH calling out the Academy for not nominating David Oyelowo! #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

A Whiplash joke inside of a Birdman joke!  Well done, @ActuallyNPH.  #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Nothing like delivering the line, "Acting is a noble profession," while wearing only tightie-whities. #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Come on, Miles. You're rushing.  Or maybe dragging... Either way, I'm sure JK Simmons wants you to #CallYourParents. #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Interstellar should have gotten a Best Picture nomination, but how does it not win here? American Sniper? For gun shot sounds? #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Every time I see Reese Witherspon now, I will think of that "With her spoon" joke. #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

I hope they get a picture of everyone who got a Lego Oscar.  #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

 

Someday, Meryl Streep won't get nominated for something.  That's the day the world ends.  #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

 

Patricia Arquette did her hair as if she was a single mother of two children and why not? Playing that won her an Oscar. #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Meryl Streep was okay not winning just to hear that speech.  Preach it, Patricia! #EqualRights #GenderEquality #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Hunger Games joke!! "The Peeta who won't throw paint on you..."  #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

He will however throw you bread if you're starving.  #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Here's where they should be showing scenes. I liked all of these nominated for Visual Effects better than the Best Picture films. #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Seriously, Interstellar was not just my fave of 2014, but one of my faves of all time.  #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

The presentation for Best Animated Short was just Pitch Perfect. #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Can't really think of an appropriate Wedding Ringer joke.  The movie did that itself.  #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

The two best animated films, Lego Movie and Book of Life, aren't even nominated. Put an * next to this winner.  #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Your name comes up when you call Discover. She would know it's her twin and her twin should know she works at Discover! #Plothole #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Did they elect her in response to how white the nominees are this year? #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO #OscarsSoWhite
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

This is the closest The Interview could come to the #Oscars.  #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

The next Indiana Jones and Princess Leia? #ChrisPratt and #FelicityJones #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Grand Budapest Hotel won't win Best Picture, but it will walk away with the most #Oscars. #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

How is #ThankWes not trending? So many people thanking Wes.  #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Idris Elba for The Doctor!  Or James Bond!  Either way, I just need more Idris Elba in my life. #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Even though it was 8 in my Top Ten, this is a deserved win for Cinematography.  #LongTakes #Birdman #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

HR Giger impacted a generation. His creations will live forever.  #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO #InMemoriam
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

I'm glad the song moved off of the #InMemoriam to after. We don't need anything other than the images and the instrumental music #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

I'll be honest. The frantic cuts of Whiplash aren't really to my taste. Boyhood is a masterpiece of editing. #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Seriously, shot over 12 years, and edited so seamlessly. That's impressive. Whiplash really surprised me there. #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

The only thing whiter than this year's Oscar nominees? NYC according to Friends. Oh, hey, Jennifer Aniston. Awkward... #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

The documentary on Edward Snowden wins Best Documentary, tomorrow we'll be snowed in... Coincidence?  I think not! #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

I don't like the treason joke to be honest. We need more journalists willing to tell us the truth whatever the cost. #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

I didn't think there would be a song I liked more than Everything is Awesome. Then I saw Selma. #handsupdontshoot #Glory #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

David Oyelowo looks just like I did after I heard the song in the end credits of Selma. #intears #Glory #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

#GlonGazingo and #AdeleDazeem together at last! #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Who are John Stevens and Lonnie Lynn and why are Common and John Legend accepting their awards? #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars #GLORY
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Selma is now because the struggle for justice is now... We live in the most incarcerated country in the world... #Preach #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

The #Oscars are alive... with the Sound of Music. #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Lady Gaga or Carrie Underwood?  Vote now!  #JulieAndrewsorNoOne #Oscars #SoundOfMusic #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Seven of the Eight Best Picture nominees might need to remember these at the end of the night.  #AFewofMyFavoriteThings #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Okay, that was actually pretty good.  Lady Gaga has a great voice.  Julie Amdrews didn't give Carrie Underwood any hugs. #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

He is my favorite composer working right now, not going to lie. And not just because his name is fun to say. #Desplat #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

That should seal it for Birdman for Best Picture. It's between it and Boyhood and they were against each other here. #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

"Everyone, look under your seat... You get an Oscar! You get an Oscar!" #Oprah #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

"Stay weird, stay different."  Amen.  Some great speeches tonight.  Be true to yourself.  #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Should have gone with a Batman joke there, @ActuallyNPH. #Batfleck #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Alfonso Cuaron last year. Alejandro G. Inarritu this year. Here's to Guillermo del Toro next year! #CrimsonPeak? #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

If you're ready to go to bed, Julianne Moore, Michael Keaton, and Birdman.  There you go.  Now you know.  #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Eddie Redmayne wouldn't shock me, but it feels like Birdman's night. #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO #BestActor
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Eddie Redmayne was the most deserving of the nominees.  David Oyelowo deserved it though.  #BestActor #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Way to pick a scene that showcases Rosamind Pike's greatness as well as Ben Affleck getting totally outacted. #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Can I pretend she won this for Big Lebowski? #BestActress #JulianneMoore #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

"Has anyone told you how much you look like Matt Damon."  But you're a better actor... #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Magic tricks are always good. Too bad Now You See It was 2013. Would have made that bit work even better. #Oscars #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

I'm happy for Inarritu, but the movie lacked strong well rounded female characters. Kept it from being my top movie of the year. #MTAIHTDTO
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Good speech to end it.  "Our immigrant nation."  #MTAIHTDTO #Oscars
— Joshua Toulouse (@joshuatoulouse) February 23, 2015

Until Next Time, There you have it!  My thoughts as I had them during the Oscars!  We'll do it again next year!  In case you missed it, make sure to check out my Top Ten Films of 2014 here!
