Why was everyone so angry at Oscars 2013?

There were smiles from the winners at last night's Oscars, but this is a gala event built as much on fury and disappointment as it is celebration - as a wonderful GIF-wall capturing the expressions of history's losers captures in excruciating detail.

With the cameras trained on them stars must be careful to keep a lid on spasmodic facial reactions (or any movement at all - nobody wants a repeat of Meryl Streep's mistaken jump).

But fans can react with all the disgust they want when a preferred candidate misses out on a gong, or anything else sticks in their craw - and Twitter bore the brunt last night.
