Macaulay Culkin might be Home Alone, but he was certainly keeping busy on Sunday night! The 37-year-old former child star took to Twitter to hilariously live tweet the 2018 Oscars. The one catch – he didn’t actually watch the show.
It all started when Culkin wrote, “I will be live tweeting the Oscars tonight, but I won’t be watching them. WHA!?! That’s crazy! Question: Do you guys have any suggestions for what I should be doing instead of watching the show?”
He then slipped into a tuxedo and shared a series of photos of all the things he was doing instead of watching the annual awards show. These included: Making ramen, playing guitar, playing with toys, and painting his toenails.
He also made several hilarious comments about this year’s nominees, like, “BREAKING NEWS: Oh snap, @MargotRobbie just kneecapped all four other Best Actress nominees #Oscars #ITonya,” and “I don’t know… I thought the BEST costume was Black Panther’s cause he could deflect bullets. #WakandaForever #Oscars.”
Culkin even gave his girlfriend, Brenda Song, a shoutout, tweeting, “#Oscars PREDICTION: Best Song: @BrendaSong.”
The Home Alone actor also wasn’t afraid to call out several stars involved in scandals in the past year.
“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. #Oscars,” he tweeted.
He also shared a billboard with Spacey’s face on it, which read, “For your consideration. ‘I’ll do literally anything,’” adding, “#Oscars90 I heard there was a fourth billboard in that movie but it got cut out.”

Poster Comment:
When I work for State of Illinois, we were working Security at night for the original "Home Alone" set. I was paged for an icing complaint. So I go into the yard and get a truck. When I got to the scene, the cops were there since there had been an accident. I start to spread salt and wouldn't you know, a rock jams the auger. So I get out with a short steel bar and start working to clear the jam. One of the cops standing there watching said, "Not only do you have to know how to drive them, you have to know how to fix them." I got the jam cleared and spread the salt. It took and extra 15 or 20 minutes. But if I had to go back to the yard to switch trucks they would have been there a couple of hours longer.
