What is PeekScore?: PeekScore is a rank from 1 to 10, assigned to every person. The higher someone’s score, the “more important” they are on the web. In calculating your PeekScore and updating it often, PeekYou takes into account your known presence and activity on the Internet, including but not limited to; your blogging, participation in social networks, the number of your friends, followers, or readers, the amount of web content you create, and your prominence in the news.
While no one’s 100% clear on who entirely comprises the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, what their credentials actually are, or how precisely their awards show came to be such a big deal, it is now simply an accepted fact that annually the mysterious HFPA throws a big party to give out trophies. Just as reliably, the most gigantic celebrities of the big and small screens – rarely the sorts to refuse accolades, no matter how dubious – show up to collect them.
With 2012 still in its early stages, the time was right for the inevitable Golden Globe Awards, and a ceremony did surely occur. Below are the acting award winners, in all the major categories, plus the Best Director and Best Screenwriter winners just to keep things a smidgen more interesting. We’ve ranked them, from highest to lowest, by the size of their PeekScores (which, as explained above and throughout the blog is how we here at PeekYou provide an at-a-glance assessment of an individual’s digital footprint).
Our fella at number one will surprise no one, we suspect. However the living legend at number two surely surprised those of us here at the PeekScore offices, for brandishing such a large score. But if you poke around the web a bit you’ll see the number makes sense. Although it nearly goes without saying that he has very little to do with actively impacting cyberspace or his presence within it, the internet clearly has no shortage of things to say about Mr. Allen, his life, and his work.
Are there any surprises for you below? Were there any surprises for you at the awards ceremony? Let us know in the comments.
