Oscars 2015: Celebrities Take Over Social Media on Big Day

It’s the big show, and celebrities spent the day primping, celebrating, snarking and trying desperately to avoid the uncharacteristic L.A. rain — and then they posted all about it on Twitter and Instagram. THR compiled the best of the best on social media for #Oscars2015.

Lena Dunham and Reese Witherspoon joined the list of celebrities who expressed their support of the #AskHerMore campaign, which beseeches red-carpet interviewers to ask women more substantial questions than what they are wearing.

Ask her about the causes she supports, not her support garments #oscars #AskHerMore: http://t.co/RdjPR3k6pB

?? this movement #AskHerMore..have you heard of it? It’s meant to inspire reporters to ask creative questions on the red carpet. I love the Oscars AND fashion like many of you – & am excited to share #WhoAmIWearing later tonight. 

Zoe Saldana acknowledged the team effort that prepping for the Oscars takes and Witherspoon gushed about her date.

It takes a #village. Thank you team! Petra Flannery @MakeupByVera @mararoszak #Oscars2015 #RedCarpet http://t.co/k6gXLM3Qcg

Aisha Tyler was extremely active throughout the awards show, tweeting her admiration for Julianne Moore, chastising Graham Moore for making her cry with his moving acceptance speech, comparing various celebrities to food she would like to eat, and much more.

Oh dear lord. Every time you see Eddie Murphy in public an angel gets a red leather suit. #Oscars2015

Shonda Rhimes and Seth Myers both took to Twitter when Julie Andrews presented.

Losing an Oscar in a category that Julie Andrews presents is as good as winning an Oscar in any other category

That was not okay. I mean, Idina is there. She is right there. RIGHT THERE. And oh dear God, Julie had to hear that. #Oscars2015
