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.

Cate and Kate Rule the Red Carpet

"The Aviator" co-star Cate Blanchett -- who clinched the award for "Best Supporting Actress" -- was the most popular Hollywood celebrity to grace the red carpet, among TiVo subscribers, as she made her entrance in a yellow Valentino gown with diamond brooch. Blanchett's arrival was the most replayed moment of the night's red carpet glamour.

Not to be outdone, actress Kate Winslet's arrival in a blue Badgley Mischka stunner also caught the eye of TiVo subscribers, ranking number two as the second most popular replayed TiVo moment on the red carpet.

TiVo's audience measurement analysis is based on aggregated data from a sample of 10,000 anonymous TiVo households. TiVo viewership information gauges viewer interest in programming content by measuring the percentage of the TiVo audience who are watching in "Play" speed.
