The Oscars

The Oscars aired on Sunday night opening to millions of viewers across the nation. Televisions were on, music was playing, people were drinking, and shiny dresses were over the screen. It was a great atmosphere for those actually at the Oscars and those watching in the comforts of their own homes either having an Oscars party with friends or simply streaming it on their laptop while trying to study for their midterms. Either way, it was quite a show!

Not only were people simply watching the show, they were also engaging with it via social media. The Oscars committee definitely had their eyes on this one from the get-go. Under the Twitter handle, #Oscars2013, viewers were constantly posting their thoughts/opinions regarding anything and everything about the event. This brought the audience together for good 4 hours straight.

Amongst the most tweeted, posted, and shared items during the event were definitely Seth McFarlane's opening act, or more commonly referred to as "the boob song," and Jennifer Lawrence's fall on her way up the stage to claim her trophy for Best Actress in Silver Lining's Playbook. Just seconds after both events occurred the online social sphere went on a complete buzz. Videos were uploaded to YouTube of the acts and in no time were people commenting away and posting their remarks.

Here are the links to both acts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TWLKP8j0zk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyAWdlqEmxg

All-in-all the Oscars was a great show and a Sunday night well spent. Seth McFarlane did a great job hosting the show all by himself, the acts, the presenters, the winners, pretty much everything about it was really well executed (even their social media tactic!). Way to go Oscars!
