FaceBook - Grammys and Other Time Sensitive Material

The Internet has made many things possible that were but dreams in days long gone.
It's also ruined the drama inherent in such productions as the Oscars or the Grammys.

Three hours before the event even starts on the very coast that hosts the extravaganza, all over social networks such as FaceBook there are blurbs about who won what.
The worst offender?
The Grammys FaceBook page, itself. It is duty bound to publish every nuance of every performance and presentation. Three hours before we get to see it for ourselves.
This is a case of technology missing the boat.

Missing it? More like sinking it.
