Heh. Well that Twitter user was quite excited about the “revelation.”
Filmmaker and actor Tyler Perry presented at the Academy Awards Sunday night. His famous character, the female Madea, was nowhere to be found.
So THIS is what Tyler Perry looks like! I always hear about his films, but never knew his face. #Oscars pic.twitter.com/SqsbramLR2

Patton Oswalt praised the move.
Tyler Perry dressed as a man is a braver choice than Jared Leto made in DALLAS BUYER'S CLUB. #Oscars
