Awards shows, such as the Grammys, are perfect for live-tweeting. During the three-hour-and-forty-five-minute broadcast, I wrote almost 40 tweets about the show, which is nothing compared to many of my friends.
One of my tweets that got the most reaction was this one that several of my West Coast followers retweeted:
Awards shows should be live like sports, not tape-delayed. RT @TheGRAMMYs West Coast you are up in 15 minutes! Tune in to @CBS! #GRAMMYs

I had to remind a few people that there is no “the” in Smokey Bear’s name. Smokey got a lot of Twitter love because Grammy winner Pharrell Williams wore a hat like Smokey’s.
I think all the tweets about @Pharrell‘s hat woke @smokey_bear from hibernation. — Frank Murphy (@FrankMurphyCom) January 26, 2014
Smokey replied:
@FrankMurphyCom No hibernation needed for this bear. #OnlyYou <|;’) — Smokey Bear (@smokey_bear) January 26, 2014
Not every joke worked. Nobody picked up on the fact that I tweeted a link to a certain Dr. Oz article during Ringo Starr’s performance.

My fondness for Pink was marked as a favorite by several people:
I love @Pink and I am impressed by Pink du Soleil — Frank Murphy (@FrankMurphyCom) January 26, 2014
Many people think Pink lip-syncs. I don’t, which is why I wrote:
@RadioDJBJ @Pink Truth! She’s in such great shape that singing to her is like breathing to us.

Twitter will be even busier during the Academy Awards, since the telecast is shown live in all time zones. I’ll be ready.
