As much competition as there is at the Academy Awards, Oscar night on Twitter is far more cacophonous.
Social network traffic soars during the Oscars, as viewers (and bloggers) compare notes on the broadcast. The Academy Awards might be "movie's biggest night," but it's also social media's.
Multitasking co-host James Franco tweeted videos and pics from backstage. Mark Ruffalo, nominated for best supporting actor in The Kids Are All Right, even tweeted his acceptance speeches hours before the ceremony, listing his thank-you's since he didn't expect to win.
But Twitter is ultimately for the onlookers, outsiders and comedians. Here are 10 of the best Oscar tweets from Sunday night:
