Lead Actress nominee Meryl Streep gets a roaring red carpet welcome:

Jimmy Kimmel popped on stage with Lara Spencer dressed pretty casually, telling Lara of the viciousness on social media.

He then left Lara to travel through one American couple’s television, reading them the riot act over their tweets. “Alright, which one of you tweeted give Jennifer Lawrence an Oscar for least supportive bra, or I’ll fire your stylist,” Kimmel asked the couple. The female viewer eating Cheetos fessed up, raising her hands up toward the “Mani-Cam.”
