On Tuesday morning, the nominations for the 84th Academy Awards were announced via live stream on YouTube.
One of the biggest days in entertainment each year, the morning of the announcements attract the attention of millions of movie fans around the world, who flock to their mobile devices – this year in record numbers – to see who earned nominations.
“Twitter and YouTube were the dominant players in this morning’s announcement,” independent business analyst and social media expert Mike Randazzo tells Mobile Marketing Watch.
Last year marked the first time the Academy rolled out a dedicated YouTube channel to announce the nominations.
“It’s clearly grown over the past twelve months,” Randazzo says. “Today, everyone knew right where to turn. The TV played little or no role in today’s announcement for people. It was a mobile event and web event more than anything.”
