How much difference a day makes in the social media era.

On Saturday, Way To Blue measured Twitter buzz in the week leading up to the Oscars to predict the big six categories, with tweeters missing on just Best Supporting Actress — with the majority of the buzz heading Jennifer Lawrence‘s way. But now, everyone knows Lupita Nyong’o. The “12 Years a Slave” actress saw a huge increase in buzz — the largest from Saturday to Sunday — by 23,485 tweets, following her own win. Best Supporting Actor Jared Leto‘s buzz jumped up 18,573 mentions.
