There are some live TV/ Social Media moments that are just pure gold. Think of Ellen's famous selfie during the last Oscars that went viral, or the Oreo ad from the Superbowl power outage in 2013. But last night's Emmy Awards makes me wonder if those moments just can't always be planned.
This year's Emmys were advertised as being the "Most Social Media Friendly Event Ever", with brands from Twitter to Facebook to Pinterest getting in on the action. Pinterest pages being updated in real time with fashion content. Twitter debuted a zip-line camera feed. Even video vignette mogul Vine joined the party with a "360-station" to record videos on the red carpet.
But.... looking back on the event.... what really STUCK?
You know the phrase, "If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority"? I think of that about last night's Emmys social media presence. There was just too many things all trying to happen. No one event could capture enough attention to really make it monumental.
Sure there were many tweet-worthy moments. The Robin Williams tribute was beautiful, Sofia Vergara's spotlight on the spinning pedestal, the audience "Q&A", but I'd be surprised if we were referencing any of these as social media "hits" a year from now.
What did you think of the Emmys? Any awesome moments I'm just not seeing?
