29 Best memes and Twitter reactions to the 2023 Oscars
And the Oscar for the best meme goes to...
She’s finally done it—Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh made history today as the first Asian woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress for her leading role in Everything Everywhere All At Once. And Yeoh’s not the only Asian to have stolen the spotlight at the 95th Academy Awards (we’re proud of you too, Ke Huy Quan)!
Amidst the glitz and glamour and much-deserved wins of the most prestigious awards in the US entertainment industry though, there were plenty of hilarious, questionable, and tear-jerking moments in between too. Of course, you can count on Twitterverse for further commentary. Ahead, we’ve catalogued some of the best Tweets and memes in reaction to the 95th Academy Awards.

Easter eggs
For the first time since I’ve attended the Oscars, there’s a box of snacks under every seat with a bottle of water, Hot Tamales, a pretzel and a note from Jimmy Kimmel. “Eat this. You’re hungry.” #Oscars2023 pic.twitter.com/NyrN3n04cc
