And the Oscar Goes to ... 'The World Wide Web'

Hats off to all those who watched the Oscars via Oscar.com and pushed the trend of television watching through the internet out into the forefront. More Oscar watchers “logged-on” instead of “turning-on” to view the 79th Annual Oscar Awards show.

To think, there were nay-sayers who said the Internet was just a passing fad and wouldn’t last (they all probably own BETA video recorders too). The Internet is here to stay my friends and changing the way we consume media.

I personally like my media in great-big de.licio.us heaping-spoonfuls with 8 essential vitamins and extra widgets!

Two-thirds of Oscar.com Visitors came from International Locations on Oscar Sunday; Significant Traffic Spikes Reported at Other Related Movie Sites RESTON, Va., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- comScore Networks, a leader in measuring the digital age, today reported the results of a study conducted on visitation to popular film-related Internet sites in conjunction with the 79th Annual Academy Awards (the "Oscars"). On Oscar Sunday (February 25, 2007), 139,000 U.S. Internet users visited Oscar.com, a one-day increase of 219-percent versus the 44,000 visitors that visited the site on February 24, 2007. "For the audience watching the Academy Awards at home, the Internet has become an important part of enjoying the festivities," said Jack Flanagan, executive vice president of comScore Media Metrix. "Whether they follow the action on the red carpet or view clips and trailers of nominated movies, consumers are supplementing their television viewing experience with Web content." (oscar)
