If The Artist winning Best Picture gets more people to go see it, then it has served a purpose. But, this is the wrong pick. #Oscars
WOW!!! The Artist Best Motion Picture of 2012! It’s true Welcome Back Silent Film! #Oscars
Yay! The Artist wins the Award for the best picture. A silent film that left me speechless! #Oscars
@theglamgangblog Best Motion Picture: The Artist. Next year the #Oscars will be held in France.
And the award for best picture goes to…The Artist! I guess this is another movie that I have to add to my must-see list! #Oscars
I’d write a joke about The Artist winning Best Picture, but it would just be redundant #oscars #tweetroast
The Artist is Best Picture?!? BOOOOOOOOOOO. Disagree. Goodnight. #Oscars
Essentially a flip book won 5 oscars. Including best picture. Really!? #oscars
Wow. The Artist! What an achievement for a silent film to win best picture in this day and age #Oscars
So The Artist wins Best Picture… Shocker! Lol, not. I couldn’t sit through it though I’m afraid. Just not my type of thing. #Oscars
Hurray for The Artist for Best Picture! Now I have to go see it 🙂 #oscars
& Afterall, ‘The Artist’ evening. Congrats for Best Picture #Oscar. Confession: I didn’t like it but have to watch it again now. #Oscars
thank god Hugo didn’t win best picture. #Oscars
Well it’s finally over with that anti-climatic win for best picture. Ugh, out of 9? #Oscars
Thank you Academy for at least getting the main one right. The Artist wins the Best Picture award. #Oscars
they used the soundtrack of Moneyball to announce best Picture nominees and did it win? NOO pffft #Oscars
Best Picture goes to the one movie I’ll probably never watch. I don’t do silent films #sorry #oscars
I don’t think “The Artist” deserved “Best Picture” #Oscars.
