Because 'La La Land' is either the best movie ever or the worst.
I have no interest in watching the Oscars or any other awards show. I've also never seen and likely never will see most of the movies that are nominated for Oscars, and I'm totally cool with that.
That said, pretty much any major entertainment event I don't care about is way better on Twitter than it is in real life. Plus, the Oscars are important enough that Twitter threw a meaningless little statue emoji at the end of #Oscars, and those automatic little fake emojis are enough to get pretty much everyone to tweet about anything.
So while people were throwing Oscar viewing parties, I sat on my couch and saw everything I needed to see on my phone. Here are the 15 things I learned by doing nothing but scrolling through the #Oscars hashtag on Sunday evening.
Michael Strahan Interviewing the Rock Would Probably be the Biggest Red Carpet Interview Ever
I didn't even know Michael Strahan was at the Oscars, but apparently he's interviewing actors on the red carpet before the actual event. He must've been a better football player than morning talk show host, but Twitter seems to think he's doing either a great job or a terrible job depending on who you ask.

(i love michael strahan)
Not many people can make Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson look like a regular sized person, but apparently Michael Strahan is one of them. #Oscars

I guess the Rock is also there and being interviewed, which makes me realize that Strahan chatting with the Rock about movies is the conversation I never knew I needed to see. I'm no expert on the size of actors or entertainment reporters, but I'm guessing the two of them combined would probably be among the biggest (in sheer size and athleticism) Hollywood entertainment interviews to ever take place outside of the ESPYs and whatever other meaningless sports award shows there are.
