The meme Oscars! From best Oppenheimer gag, to most creative use of Scorsese falling asleep

By now you’ll know that Oppenheimer cleaned up at the 96th Academy Awards, winning seven gongs, while Emma Stone pulled off a minor surprise to win Best Actress.

But the ceremony was never going to be about the stunning outfits, Ryan Gosling performing I’m Just Ken, or even Wes Anderson winning his first Oscar.

Instead, of course, the whole entertainment comes down to jokes people on the internet have made about the ceremony. And there were some good ones.

Here is our list of alternative Oscars given to the ambition, creativity and - in some cases - endurance of those watching.

Best meme about the Best Picture

Well done to Andrew Green for this Oppenheimer-related meme. A busy night indeed.

Outstanding comment about how long the whole thing is taking

Well done to Cineworld - obviously you’ve seen enough films to pick a good meme.

Best crossover to Princess of Wales saga

The two most meme-worthy events of the past 24 hours combined. Matthew Fellows goes for a simple solution here and bonus points for using Natalie Portman, because why not?

Best comparison to a restaurant scenario

Hats off Adam here…

Best comparison between outfits and inanimate objects

Sostiene Natalia saw Barbie stars Billie Eilish and America Ferrera and instantly thought of these beach houses.

Best jibe about Scorsese falling asleep

Tweets by horrorbitvh

A once and future meme in waiting… The director may have only been momentarily resting his eyes, like he did during Eminem’s 2020 performance of Lose Yourself.

And finally... Most merciless trolling of Liza Koshy

Poor Liza. Apparently even Joe Biden is laughing after the trip.
