The biggest event in Hollywood became the biggest story on CBS News Sunday night. Once again, CBS delivered with their coverage of a national event. Oscar analysis started appearing on the website Saturday morning. Articles, pictures, videos and polls were used to provide readers with information they wanted.
CBS had numerous articles and multimedia packages before the Oscars began on their in depth page. Oscars 2013:Predicting the winners with data and critics remained the main headline in the entertainment section over the weekend. The article broke down each category and critics predicted who would win. CBS also created a poll where readers could voice their opinion for the Best Picture category. They incorporated links to past articles that related to each movie as well. CBS even offered a sneak peak into what the celebrities would be dining on at the Governor's Ball. The media outlets pre-ceremony coverage was only a fraction of what they had to offer.
CBS continued their coverage of Oscar Sunday during the red carpet event. They created a slideshow of all the celebrities in attendance and analyzed what each star was wearing. The article even incorporated a poll where readers could vote on who they thought the best dressed celebrity was. CBS linked to two videos on Sunday Morning. The first looked at the diamonds stars have worn both in movies and on the red carpet throughout the years. Another described the origin of the red carpet.
Although CBS continued to cover the Oscars throughout the show, it was not to the extent that was seen pre-ceremony. There were only a few new articles halfway into the show. CBS analyzed Seth MacFarlane's hosting efforts and complied a slideshow of top moments.
What threw me off was an article on Christoph Waltz and his win for best supporting actor. From the headline "Oscars 2013: Christoph Waltz wins supporting-actor prize for Django Unchained" the reader would think the story would pertain to Waltz. However, it was a realtime update about the winners and performances during the show. After Anne Hathaway won for best supporting actress, CBS updated the headline so it was specific to her. They included the two paragraphs on her win into the previous story. This continued for throughout the night as more winners were announced. CBS should have reconsidered their headlines for this particular article. A general headline about the Oscars would have been less confusing than a more specific one that only covered a short part of the content.
CBS wrapped up Oscar coverage post-ceremony. They highlighted some of the best moments – speeches and performances – through articles, picture, and videos. There was even content relating to the parties.
The in depth pages CBS creates for large events helps readers easily access the information they want. Just scrolling down the page, all the articles and photos can seem daunting. However, CBS sorts each by category and places the largest headlines near the top. They created these pages during the 2013 Presidential Inauguration and during Superbowl XLVII as well. The information CBS incorporates and extent to which they do is one of the main reasons I love covering this website.
