Red Carpet Diva Cate Blanchett Ruled the Oscar Pre-Show as TiVo Viewers Hit Replay to See Her Stunning Entrance

ALVISO, Calif., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Front-runner Jamie Foxx's emotional acceptance speech after winning the award for "Best Actor" was the top TiVo (NASDAQ:TIVO) moment of the Oscar broadcast according to TiVo analysis released today. In his speech, Foxx gave a heartfelt tribute to his grandmother saying "She still talks to me, only now she talks to me in my dreams. I can't wait to go to sleep tonight."

The second most popular TiVo moment of the evening was the "Best Picture" win by "Million Dollar Baby." Taking home four awards in some of the event's most prestigious categories, the film, directed by Clint Eastwood, was the Hollywood knockout of the night.
