Social Roundup: Oscars, Brits, and Leonard Nimoy
This week saw extreme highs and lows in the entertainment and film world. The week kicked off with the lavish Oscars ceremony, which saw many of the Potter stars tweeting along and sharing their thoughts on everything – from the speeches to winners, equal rights and to more mundane elements!
This time tomorrow, a lot of people will have a new ornament to put on their mantelpiece

I wonder if anyone will have to breast pump at the Oscars

Passed by @JohnStamos's place, but he wasn't in. Apparently attending the Oscar's was more important… #FullHouse pic.twitter.com/V0CGc0Ktcp

So glad that Birdman won. Now that everyone's been thanked three times I won't have to memorize the credits. Everything was awesome. #Oscars

Emma also expressed her gratitude to Steve Carell, for his #HeForShe support at the Oscars:
And Tom Felton did the good deed of the week:
7 houses later we found her home. Bitter sweet goodbyes. Her name was Prudence x #benicetodogs #iloveherido #dereksays A photo posted by Tom Felton (@t22felton) on
Meanwhile, Matt Lewis proudly showed off a new car:
But the lads at @globalautocare have hooked me up with some new wheels so I really can't complain. M1 then, is it? pic.twitter.com/lHA19GOHyH

The Brit Awards took place in the UK, and for one singer things did not go so well. J.K. Rowling tweeted her support for pop icon, Madonna, together with a necessary amendment:
Are you the sort of person who gloats when they see a woman fall, or the kind that celebrates a magnificent recovery? #TeamMadonna

tweet changed to reflect @chrisrankin's valid point that I appeared to be calling Madonna camp. Very Percy Weasleyish of him 🙂
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) February 27, 2015
@jk_rowling yes!!! I am so smiley about the fact that you are a Madonna fan, Jo!! #blondepower ?

Finally, for many, the week ended on a sad note, with the death of Star Trek icon, Leonard Nimoy.
RIP Leonard Nimoy pic.twitter.com/uIcnvI8wNN

Very sad to hear about Leonard Nimoy had the pleasure of spending a few days with him! Such a nice, humble man #RIPLeonardNimoy
