Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Anne Hathaway’s pert nipples caused a stir on twitter with #annehathawaysnipples trending during the awards.

Harry Styles came out in favour of Jennifer Lawrence, tweeting “Jennifer Lawrence needs to win tonight” (could she be his next romantic target?) which was retweeted 86,380 times. A backlash then erupted after claims were made that “Harry Styles made Jennifer Lawrence famous.”

There was a lot of gushing from fans about Ben Affleck’s acceptance speech when he said that his marriage to Jennifer Garner was “work but the best kind of work”. And it seemed nobody wanted to slate record- breaker Daniel Day-Lewis. Zooey Deschanel and Ed Sheeran were among celebrities tweeting congratulations to the British actor.

Anne Hathaway's stylist should be fired for not forcing her to wear pasties! HELLO NIPPLES!!! #Oscars

‏@bleustreak

If you were offended by either Seth MacFarlane's jokes or Anne Hathaway's nipples, then you are a pathetic waste of life.

Anne Hathaway's nipples are wearing a lobster bib by Prada.

@katfish

Whenever you are feeling embarrassed, just remember Jennifer Lawrence tripped on national tv and lives in the age of Internet memes.

@LauraCraik

Jennifer Lawrence: women love her, men fancy her, she trips endearingly on stairs, rocks Dior Haute Couture & pronounces it funny. Job done

@Harry_Styles

Jennifer Lawrence needs to win an Oscar tonight..

@cuurlybooy

“harry styles made jennifer lawrence famous” and im obama's white child

@Savan_Kotecha

Am I the only one who thinks Ben Affleck's gonna be in a lot of trouble at home for telling the world his marriage is “A LOT of work”?!

@fortunefunny

I never thought I'd see the day when Ben Affleck was cooler than Matt Damon.

@omid9

Well done Ben Affleck for mentioning the “friends in Iran in a terrible circumstance”. This my friends is class. Bravo #Argo

@mckenna_brown

Is it weird that I want to be a part of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's marriage?

‏@ZooeyDeschanel

Daniel Day Lewis is making some solid jokes!

‏@BurkhartBrandon

Daniel Day-Lewis is so Method, he actually had his face photoshopped on every five dollar bill in his wallet. #Oscar2013

‏@joelmchale

Okay, I grudgingly admit Daniel Day-Lewis made the right decision to star in “Lincoln” instead of “Piranha 3DD”

‏@rkylesmith

Life of Pi has won exactly 3.141596 awards tonight.

@gregpinelo

“Life of Pi” is actually an allegory about Obama and the Republicans. A nice guy trapped on a boat with a wild, nearly extinct animal.

‏@videogum

How many years do you think it will be until The Life of Pi is completely forgotten? Two years or three whole years?
