Even before Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway pulled a Steve Harvey with the Best Picture Oscar, social media was well on its way to ‘trolling’ the Oscars in an epic fashion.
Like this glimmer of brilliance from The Onion:
Large Mirror Brought Out Onto Oscars Stage Gets Resounding 6-Minute Standing Ovation https://t.co/UsEWkl681s pic.twitter.com/6TlvukzILm

Nothing illustrates the massive egos of Hollywood like a giant mirror; add to that the joke of them giving themselves a six-minute standing ovation and it’s INTERNET magic.
Or at least it’s pretty damn funny.

It really was one of the best out there which says SO MUCH about the joke Hollywood has become.
Isn't that really what the Oscars is anyway?

Yup.
You're great! No You are! Oh stop!…No Don't Stop!

You’re great, no YOU’RE great … no no, you’re great.
Ha!
All Oscar attendees will go home with a complimentary ivory tower.

And then they’ll hide their ivory tower behind a giant wall while telling the rest of us how mean walls are.
