Cancel the Oscars and just make it a Queen concert

— Ben Domenech (@bdomenech) February 25, 2019

Can't wait for Adam Lambert's monologue

— Richard Lawson (@rilaws) February 25, 2019

2019 oscars begins with 50% of Queen playing their two most overrated songs. Gonna be a long night.

Twitter poked fun at the fact that the Oscars didn't have a host. But some said they liked the event without one.

I love Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph and Tina Fey so much. Why *couldn't* they have just been made the hosts? Lame @TheAcademy, lame.

Maya Rudolph: "Just a quick update, in case you're confused. There is no host tonight, there won't be a popular movie category, and Mexico is not paying for the wall." pic.twitter.com/gGrcav407q

Maybe they'll "not host" all evening https://t.co/DvVlhQYIYU

The Oscars needs a host. Not working for me without .

— andrew dallos (@adallos) February 25, 2019

We're nearly an hour into this show and I don't miss an Oscars host whatsoever. The focus has been on the films, where it should be.

— Frank Pallotta (@frankpallotta) February 25, 2019

This no host thing is working

— Kyle Blaine (@kyletblaine) February 25, 2019

maybe hosting the oscars is, as Gore Vidal said of commercialism, "to do well that which should not be done at all"

— Alexandra Petri (@petridishes) February 25, 2019

"This is fine, but it would be so much better if it were interspersed with a host doing multiple unfunny, overlong bits."

— McKay Coppins (@mckaycoppins) February 25, 2019

There's never gonna be a host again is there

— James Hamblin (@jameshamblin) February 25, 2019

This hostless Oscars is like the part of The Office where Michael Scott left and they hadn't hired a new boss yet and it turned out everybody worked better without a boss at all.

they dubbed Freddie Mercury's voice into every singing sequence, please never forget this

— Dylan Scott (@dylanlscott) February 25, 2019

I like him as an actor, but we will look back upon Rami Malek's Oscar for BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY with extraordinary bemusement.

— Sean Fennessey (@SeanFennessey) February 25, 2019

Rami Malek wins. He's really had a crazy couple of years.

We'll look back in 10 years and say, "Wait...he didn't sing? And the other guy did? How...?"

I like Rami's work so much. This just feels so weird. Sigh.
