Mar 5, 2018  •  Post A Comment

“Home Alone” star Macaulay Culkin, who’s 37 now and described by The New York Post’s Page Six as a “former actor,” live tweeted the Oscars on Sunday, offering a running critique of the ceremony that was generally unflattering.

But he also said he wasn’t watching the show.

“I will be live tweeting the Oscars tonight, but I won’t be watching them. WHA!?! That’s crazy,” Culkin said at the start of his tweetstorm. “Question: Do you guys have any suggestions for what I should be doing instead of watching the show?”

The Post notes that Culkin then “proceeded to tweet a series of photos of various activities in which he’d partaken instead of watching Hollywood’s biggest night, including painting his toenails, cooking ramen and playing old-school video games, all while clad in a tuxedo.”

  • “EXCLUSIVE: I heard Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein were going to come disguised as a very tall man in a long trench coat but they got busted by security. … Casey Affleck couldn’t make it cause he was stuck in the 1950s.”
  • “WOW. @jimmykimmel is #SoBrave for hosting the show in his native dialect. I bet Jimmy Kimmel’s humor is so dry tonight it could easily be a #VaginaMonologue.”
  • “James Franco is a disaster. Artists? #CallMeRogen #OrGoldberg #Imnotpicky … The Disaster Artist was the worst harry potter movie this year.”
  • “I’m bummed this is the FOURTH year in a row I was left out of the In Memoriam #Oscars #NotDeadYet.”

He invoked Kevin Spacey’s image for the following tweet …
