The Best Twitter Accounts to Follow During the 2014 Oscars
By Lauren Mang February 25, 2014
I rarely follow celebrities on Twitter because of snooze-ville tweets like this. I much prefer to get my dose of daily news and commentary from journalists and other witty average Joes and Janes of the world. This Sunday, March 2, marks the 86th Annual Academy Awards, the day when fancy-pants celebs in grand gowns and suits descend upon Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre and pretend they’ve not disowned carbs for the past two months. (Unless you’re actress Julie Bowen at the Emmys.)
But unlike other awards shows, I actually watch the Oscars. Perhaps it’s the history behind it all, or the possibility of witnessing an awkward acceptance speech, or, gasp!, seeing a starlet trip while walking up the stairs. Either way, come Sunday, I will be parked on my couch, champagne in hand (iPhone in the other hand) watching, tweeting and constantly refreshing my feed to read the hilarious/snarky #Oscars tweets from my followers. Here are a few of my favorite Twitter accounts to follow during the Oscars.

Studio Sessions: Jennifer Leigh Harrison
Seattle artist Jennifer Leigh Harrison uses layers of paint and abstraction to explore what we carry beneath the surface.
Jennifer Leigh Harrison’s paintings are dense with movement. Color and texture gather into mosaic-like fields, as if they have been fractured and reformed. There are places in the work where a frenetic buzz seems trapped between the canvas and the first layer of paint. That energy runs through Patterns of Belonging, her current exhibition at…
ENHYPEN’s Jay Has K-Pop Stardom and a Seattle Heart
The Federal Way-raised singer talks hometown memories, Ivar’s clam chowder, and how it feels to perform in the place he grew up.
Long before he was performing in sold-out arenas around the world and representing brands like Prada, ENHYPEN’s Jay called the Puget Sound region home. Born Jay Park (not to be confused with the other famous K-pop star of the same name, who is also from Seattle) in Seattle and raised in nearby Federal Way before…
