Excited viewers of Sunday’s 85th Academy Awards generated nearly 8.9 million Oscars-related tweets. Twitter users sent 2.1 million during the red carpet pre-show, but the buzz really hit new highs once the show began, with nearly 6.8 million tweets hitting the web during the event.
Mashable reported that Adele’s Skyfall performance and later Best Original Song win were Twitter’s second and fourth top-tweets-per-minute (TPM) with 82,300 TPM and 64,000 TPM respectively.
Another major trending topic last night, reported by Cinema Blend, was #wesawyourboobs, a comedic song that emcee MacFarlane led in to with the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles highlighting all of the A-list actresses that exposed their boobs in the name of showbiz.
If #WeSawYourBoobs isn't trending in 5 minutes, then Twitter is probably broken. #Oscars
