If the Oscars Google Search Data Is Right, ‘1917’ Is on Track to Win Best Picture

Oscar Sunday is nearly upon us (February 9!) and we’re not the only ones curious about who will take home a statuette. The Google powers that be decided to see which movies and celebs everyone’s searching for ahead of the big night. Our only question: Are these search terms any indication of who the Academy will give an award come Sunday? We’ll have to wait and see.

When it comes to Best Picture Google searches, 1917 leads the pack with Parasite, Jojo Rabbit, Joker and Ford v Ferrari following. All are seriously strong contenders, but some (ahem, Joker) have enjoyed more commercial success than others. But does that even really matter for the Oscars? TBD.

As far as Best Actress searches go, people were apparently very curious about Scarlett Johansson, who’s nominated for A Marriage Story. Charlize Theron (Bombshell), Renee Zellweger (Judy), Saoirse Ronan (Little Women) and Cynthia Erivo (Harriet) followed in terms of search popularity. Honestly, we’d be happy with any of those leading ladies taking home an Oscar.

On the Best Actor search front, Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) led the charge of highest-traffic search term, making us wonder if we’ll have to listen to another one of his super weird speeches again. Close behind (in this order) were Leonardo DiCaprio (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Adam Driver (A Marriage Story), Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory) and Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes). Again, Christian Bale was epically robbed.

Last but not least, people were also super curious about how many Oscars poor DiCaprio has. Answer: One. Also high on the totem pole of Oscar win queries were Meryl Streep (she has three), Tom Hanks (he has two), Al Pacino (he has one) and Denzel Washington (he has two).

We can’t wait to see who snags a statuette come this Sunday, February 9, at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
