Can Twitter predict the Oscars?


I was going to do a Golden Globes recap but I had a crazy work week and moved into NYC! If you want some quick and dirty recaps, see here for how AMAZING Tina and Amy did, here for how awkwardly awesome Jennifer Lawrence is and here for the overall fashion of the night (my favs were Michelle Dockery and Claire Danes).


 

While I haven't completed any categories to guess the winners yet, my wonderful boyfriend Ben sent me a very interesting social media find. Topsy's Twitter Oscar Index is using social analytics to predict the winners of the five major categories. You can see the impact of specific days such as the Golden Globes or the Oscar nominations themselves through the timeline and sort by specific films. Looking at the current predictions though, I'm not necessarily sure its accurate but it is an intriguing idea.

18 down, 34 to go!
