As they did during the first presidential debate, Hollywood’s best and brightest weighed in early and often on social media during Sunday night’s second showdown between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, offering up hot takes, fact checks and plenty of witty jokes.

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore — who called the last debate for Trump — was apparently less enthused by what he saw Sunday night:

@joe_warmington stupid again @MMFlint

Moore also fact-checked the Republican candidate, though he conceded that he may have picked up some support with his performance:

Trump’s comment that Hillary’s “heart is filled with hate” was one of his biggest lies. Say what u will, I think her heart is full of love. — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) October 10, 2016 

The crash & burn of Donald Trump didn’t happen tonight. He didn’t lose a single vote, maybe gained some. She again was the smart 1. And kind

— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) October 10, 2016

In fact, most celebrities fixated on Trump’s performance, with many, including actors John Cusack, Olivia Wilde and Leslie Jones having seemingly little in the way of positive things to say about it:

Brutal night watching trump – no specifics mud slinging – gutter politics https://t.co/OiA7xBIOj3 — John Cusack (@johncusack) October 10, 2016

Debate was only a draw if trump finishing it on his feet was a victory – he made his base happy didn’t swing independents -I’m guessing

— John Cusack (@johncusack) October 10, 2016

If nothing else, this shit-show should put to rest the idiotic idea that these two are in any way equally problematic. HE IS A FOOL.

It sound like he gets all his info from Wikipedia! Like he is so fucking uninformed it’s embarrassing!! This is our fault! FUCKING VOTE!!

— Leslie Jones (@Lesdoggg) October 10, 2016

Trump is the king of empty sentences. No actual information. Like giving a presentation in class when u did none of the reading. #Debate

While I may not be able to moderate a debate, sounds like Mike Pence and Donald Trump might need to come on my show to talk things out.

When Trump says it’s just “locker room talk,” he’s defending the very culture that normalizes sexual assaults on women.

The Donald wants to double down in drilling and setting the world on fire by dumping more carbon into the world atmosphere.

Men often convert shame into an outward anger and Donny wore that rage like a badgearooni

Meanwhile, Clinton backers praised and stood by their candidate:

I have NEVER been prouder to stand WITH HER. — Emmy Rossum (@emmyrossum) October 10, 2016

         “We are not at war with Islam.” Damn straight, HRC. We are at war with terrorists. #Debates2016

DON’T SHAKE HIS HAND #debates

— KATY PERRY (@katyperry) October 10, 2016

You don’t have to oppose Trump in order to recognize that HRC is ready to be President. Smart, concise, specific, measured.

Some — including actresses Jessica Chastain, Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy showrunner Shonda Rhimes and Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher — appeared to have found religion during the debate:

Im very proud of @HillaryClinton tonight. It was a very uncomfortable debate. When he went low, she went high. #imwithher #debate

— Jessica Chastain (@jes_chastain) October 10, 2016

With Trump as president we will lose the most important Christian principle, “Love thy neighbor….

— Carrie Fisher (@carrieffisher) October 10, 2016

I deeply worship the badassery of @MarthaRaddatz.

— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) October 10, 2016

Still, as happened the first time around, most celebrities just vented about Trump:

I deeply worship the badassery of @MarthaRaddatz.

— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) October 10, 2016

It’s terrifying that Donald Trump has a chance to become the president of our country. #imwithher @HillaryClinton 🙏

The fact that people will still support Trump after this performance makes me lose faith in the inherent goodness of humanity. — Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) October 10, 2016

This is a bully. This is rudeness on display. I hope if our kids see this they know this is what a bully looks like. Teaching moment #debate

Hopefully someone is explaining all this to Melania right now. #Debates

Trump says ‘just words, folks.’ It’s his accusation and his defence. Words don’t matter. Facts don’t matter. If they don’t, we’re all lost.
