Going by Twitter, Globes Were a Big Hit The ratings for the Globes may have dipped slightly, but it was a robust presence on Twitter, where the Tweets-per-second (TPS) count reached 6,162 at its highest point, more than last year's Super Bowl (4,064 TPS) or the royal wedding (3,966), though still less than the MTV Video Music Awards (8,868 TPS, which had the advantage of the Beyonce bump). According to a spokesperson for Twitter, the buzziest moment in the Globes telecast came when "Downton Abbey," the hit PBS series, won the award for best mini-series. Whether that was an expression of surprise or celebration is hard to say, though the show does have lots of rabid fans on Twitter. Patton Oswalt, for one: "Just realized that liveblogging DOWNTON ABBEY is the absolute whitest way to celebrate MLK Day eve," he wrote Sunday. Other high TPS moments included Ludovic Bource's best composer win for "The Artist" - surely a reflection of the controversy over his use of a bit of the score from "Vertigo," a borrowing its star Kim Novak had likened to rape - and one of the Bagger's favorite moments, Tina Fey photo-bombing a winking Amy Poehler. Though TV shows drew a high volume of commentary, Twitter users mostly wanted to talk about movie stars: George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, Michelle Williams and Brad Pitt were all frequently mentioned. "Modern Family" and its star Sofia Vergara also ranked - and this was before viewers knew she apparently wasn't wearing underwear. And the most retweeted comments ran the gamut from catty ("Reese Witherspoon has Jennifer Aniston's old hair!" according to Perez Hilton) to funny ("The @GoldenGlobes claim they don't have a category for Late Night television, but it sure feels like an "Irish thing" to me," said Conan O'Brien). Though of course many were admiring - "Best GG moment for film lovers: Martin Scorsese grinning as Claude Berri's son salutes his dad after winning Best Picture for a silent movie," wrote the director Brad Bird - while Ellen DeGeneres topped it off with cutesy: "What an amazing night for "The Artist." Congratulations to everyone involved. I'm saying this silently According to the TweetReach blog, Zooey Deschanel showing off her tuxedo-manicured nails was among the most retweeted lines of the evening.
