So, the Academy Awards come and go for another year and as predictable as a Charlie Sheen relapse Harvey Weintstein turns hype into Oscar glory as The King's Speech cleans up at the 83rd Awards.
In my humble opinion The King's Speech was a long way short of the Best Picture of the Year, which, if your asking, I think should have gone to The Social Network, but as with many things in life Academy Awards success is about timing, just ask Christopher Nolan who was shockingly overlooked for Best Director in what was a mamouth feet of filmmaking with Inception.
But did The Kings Speech really win? Was it the most talked about more Tweeted about topic ... the answer NO! As with most real-time events Twitter was the prime outlet for Oscar chat with reports suggesting between 400,000 and 1.26million tweets recorded during the event.
What The Trend who analyzed the data from the Twitter Worldwide Trending Topics list found their winner to be David O. Russell's bruising bio pic The Fighter which beat of Pixar's Toy Story 3 to earn the most "trending points".
The data combined all mentions of the film, cast or crew members or award category won by the film. Tweetbeat on the other hand tracked all mentions of the film and reported the winner of the most tweeted film to be Inception.
During the show their were a number of key moments which generated high levels of twitter action including Melissa Leo's use of the f word in her acceptance speech but most notably Oprah Winfrey's appearance presenting the Best Documentary Feature (which went to Inside Job) which resulted in the most sustained tweets of the night (over 11,000).
