First "TSN" cried out to the critics, bloggers and the public they were "relevant" and inadvertently sending a message to 6,000 voters they were not. Now the Queen herself jumps into the race the day the ballots go out and suddenly the film is the intemet darling. I sent my ballot in minutes after receiving it with a royal flush. Every person we invite and call for Geoffrey's dinner, we encourage to vote. I am controlling myself until Feb. 27th when I hope we all have chance to get shit faced Monk together. What a ride. xoxo Pcg Original Message — 111111111 Sent: Sat Feb 05 02:32:40 2011 Subject: Huflington Post - re Arianna's party Arianna Iluffington's Party Gives The King's Speech' an Oscar Shove 6:50 PM 2/4/2011 by Tim Appelo Sure, Queen Elizabeth just endorsed The King's Speech, but web queen Arianna Huffington's starry L.A. party this week shows how you really get Oscar mojo in the social-network era. KIR Unlike The King's Speech writer David Seidler (pictured with Arianna, and featured in this week's special 111R screenwriters issue), Colin Firth. Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hooper. Oliver Stone, Francis Fisher, Maria Bello, Tracey Ullman and Jane Lynch, you probably weren't invited to Arianna I luffington's party for the film. But the Huflington Post editor invites you to join her 535,030 Twitter followers and check out the party pictures and exuberant tweets she posted Thursday. "Toast to colin firth: Maybe if king george lived today he would have addressed his people on twitter where no one could hear his stutter," notes the shift-key-averse intemet social magnet and magnate. Who knows how many people retweeted the news, helping keep the film's buzz aloft just as Oscar ballots land in 5,755 voters' mailboxes? If one in 100 Arianna tweetees is a voter who follows her lead, the King is only 405 votes short of unanimous victory. EFTA_R1_00534373 EFTA02026468 So who needs the Queen? The Screen Actors Guild also struck gold with social media. The Jan. 30 SAG Awards broadcast ratings were up 6 percent from last year — and up 30 percent in the 18-34 demo. "I can't attribute it all to social media." says SAG publicist Rosalind Jarrett. "But in the summer, we had approximately 2025 Twitter followers. The morning of the show we had 6,000, 24 hours later 9,000. We trended No. 1 on Twitter, and our Facebook 'Ricers: I guess you'd call them, went from about 25.000 to 32,000." TNT's Rizzoli & Isles star Angie Harmon became SAG's social media host Dec. 16; her followers shot from zero to 34,183. Follow THR's The Race Awards blog @timappelo.
