Celebrities Social The Darnedest Things

This year’s ARIA Awards might not have dominated the ratings, but they definitely saw Twitter light up. Their shiny new ARIA emoji was in good company alongside a sea of social commentary on the new Game Of Thrones poster, the Captain America: Civil War trailer and Donald Trump's latest outburst.

It’s somewhat mystifying to me that we get a tour announcement from 5SOS televised but urban/comedy/country awards not. #ARIAs

I had no idea a comedy aria was a thing comedians aspire to or that Matt Okine was a feministette. I have my period. #ARIAs

In closing: I hope Courtney Barnett, Gang of Youths and Flight Facilities win everything all The Voice and X-Factor contestants lose. #ARIAs

Good luck to all #ARIAs nominees at Star Casino today! Also to the gambling addicts ruining their lives for others' profit in the next room.

#ARIAs... where they don't even televise the award for the bands that sell more tickets and albums and merch than any of the rest.

Congrats to Australian acts Royal Blood and Azaelia Banks (sic) on their overseas achievements in 2015. #ARIAs pic.twitter.com/Ru9SUi6jIY

CAPTAIN AMERICA

The trailer and poster for Captain America: Civil War also dropped, pitting the superhero soldier played by Chris Evans against fan favourite Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), forcing fans to choose sides. Maybe comparing their Twitter habits will help you choose a side.

Donald Trump

Keep on going, buddy. You’re quickly erasing Tony Abbott from the world’s radar.

Here’s what happened:

Donald Trump just mocked a New York Times reporter's physical disability https://t.co/2j9MQkiKug

Here’s how people reacted:

I heard donald trump was supposed to have a float of himself in the parade today but his head was far too big to fit down a new york street

How many people found out at Thanksgiving dinner that they have crazy relatives who are supporting Donald Trump?
