Twitter crunched the numbers to reveal insights on how its users talked about the nominated films, and the result is this infographic. Hovering over individual titles shows how events during the telecast impacted the conversation around a given movie. For instance, _Boyhood_ stayed on top for most of the night, until _Birdman_ started gaining momentum when it won Best Original Screenplay, eventually climbing to the top of the chart in time for its Best Picture win. _The Lego Movie_ spiked around the time of its musical performance, then slowly petered out, while movies like _Still Alice_ and _The Theory of Everything_ started low and peaked at the end as their respective stars (Julianne Moore and Eddie Redmayne) won Best Actress and Best Actor.
