Beard Watch: The 2014 Academy Awards

Every year, I live tweet a bunch of award shows, mainly to check out who has the best beard. Comedians Jack Baker, Matt Drufke, and I started using #beardwatch on Twitter, last year or so, and this year, I decided to actually give away awards for different types of facial hair, except for mustaches, simply because there weren’t any worth mentioning. Now, we are by no means the first people to use #beardwatch, so I’m not laying claim to this, but we are the first people to use it exclusively for award shows… Don’t quote me on that. Here’s the results, through the power of my Twitter account.
