If it was anyone's night this past Sunday, it was Jodie Foster's. The speech the legendary actress gave while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award brought her name to the top of the hashtag list.

Most fan reaction that followed included words like "inspiration," "strong" and "respect." Other hot topics on Twitter at the Globes included Amy Poehler and and Tina Fey as hosts, Lena Dunham's Chad Lowe shout-out, Tommy Lee Jones sourpuss and more!

NBC, in its infinite wisdom, has announced that last Thursday’s travesty of a live "The Sound of Music" performance will now become a thing, in the sense that NBC is going to produce more live musicals. And, the haters pile on, on Twitter and other social media channels to exercise their snarky chops by "hate-watching" - sitting through something you really hate, while letting everyone who is connected to you know about it.

Bingeing on a TV show used to be something you'd only do when home with the flu. Now it's how we want to consume TV all the time. Whether we’ve been buying the DVD box set, DVR-ing a full season of our favorite show on our DVRs, ordering from On Demand in bulk, or just streaming an old show from Netflix or Amazon, we are more and more an audience who wants our programming on our own terms.

A flood of stats about Sunday night’s Oscars ceremony has been unleashed upon the web. Among these stats are some looks at trends from Google, Twitter and Facebook. Best-actress winner Jennifer Lawrence was the most Google'd nominee during the broadcast, and her dress was the most Google'd item on the red carpet.

Two-screen or second-screen viewing is a 21st century experience.

The Super Bowl is the ultimate in major TV events. And social media - Twitter in particular - serves to underscore that.
