Hilarious tweets flood internet as photo of Andrew Garfield checking his phone during Oscars 2022 goes viral

In a series of memes, a photo of Andrew Garfield checking his phone during the 2022 Oscars went viral on Twitter. Fans claimed that the actor was checking his phone following Will Smith and Chris Rock's onstage encounter.

Although it has not been confirmed, some say that Garfield was texting his fellow Hollywood stars, discussing the entire scene between Smith and Rock. Reactions from other stars were also quick to go viral on Twitter:

Undeniably, the 2022 Oscars turned out to be more exciting and shocking than expected. A night with the stars wouldn't be memorable without any theatrics, and this year's Oscars staged the best drama the Dolby Theatre has seen in decades.

The event drew some of Hollywood's greatest faces for a night of triumph, joy, and celebration. However, while things seemed to be in order at the 94th Academy Awards, little did the beloved celebrities know that it was just the calm before the storm.

Yes, this storm is all about Will Smith's fists landing on Chris Rock's face. The King Richard actor Will Smith and presenter Chris Rock's sudden altercation on the Dolby Theatre stage became the most talked-about event of the night after Smith took offense to a joke Rock made about Jada Pinkett Smith.

Reportedly, Smith did not take it well when presenter Chris Rock joked about his wife's hairstyle, leading to the dramatic encounter. The two rocked the steady flow of the event with their unexpected onstage encounter moments before Smith emerged victorious after winning the Best Actor in a Leading Role for King Richard.

However, that did not stop the audience, celebrities, and the rest of the internet from reacting to the incident.
