While it only earned one-third the social media chatter as the Super Bowl, this year's Oscars broke serious records. According to Trendrr, the 2012 Academy Awards earned 4.2 million social media mentions, more than double what it earned last year.
And that's not even counting the red carpet chatter, which topped 3.9 million social media activities. Celebrities in attendance certainly helped inspire the content, whether it was Sacha Baron Cohen's latest red carpet stunt, Angelina Jolie's legbomb or Octavia Spencer's touching acceptance speech.
