Terrence Howard Oscars 2015: Twitter Thinks 'War Machine' Actor Was High Or Overacting
Terrence Howard sent Twitter abuzz when he introduced John Legend and Common before they performed the Oscar-winning song “Glory” from “Selma” at the 87th Academy Awards at Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California Sunday night. Howard’s impassioned speech was so heartfelt-- or overacted-- that not even accidentally knocking into his microphone could stop the “Empire” star from interrupting his words. While many netizens were quick to remark on the performance, others were focused on Howard.
Some people compared him to War Machine, his character from “Iron Man.”
Others remarked how Howard was replaced by Don Cheadle in future movies.
Haha! Im so done with ex War Machine jokes for Terrence Howard! Too soon!

— Brooke Preston (@bigu) February 23, 2015So wonderful to see #TerrenceHoward squirm and sweat onstage. Now, if only he never worked in Hollywood again #abuser #Oscars2015

So what happened to Terrence Howard up there? Teleprompter mishap? Forgot his glasses? Nerves? A John Travolta moment? #Oscars #DishNation
— kellierasberry (@kellierasberry) February 23, 2015The theory that Terrence Howard's teleprompter went out...now all of a sudden I'm re-thinking the fake cry as a legit option #thanksgiving
— Jen Andrews (@tbtljen) February 23, 2015Some took as far as saying Howard might have been high.
What was more of a struggle? MLK driving black voter rights or Terrence Howard trying to get though his speech while high as hell? #SMTA
— Anna Tsyplakova (@CreativOptimist) February 23, 2015How is no one discussing Terrence Howard being high AF and crying on stage and knocking into the microphone #notoverit
