Mean tweets in good fun

NOMINEES including Casey Affleck, Emma Stone and Natalie Portman read out rude messages about themselves in a special Mean Tweets segment of the Academy Awards ceremony.

The Hollywood stars read abusive messages that had been written about them on Twitter, with Stone reading: “Emma Stone looks like a crack whore in every role she plays.”

Affleck read: “Casey Affleck is the real life version of Billy Bob Thornton’s character in Sling Blade.” Mean Tweets is a popular segment of Kimmel’s late night talk show, when stars have to read cruel online criticisms.
