The Academy Awards are this Sunday, and there’s already been a ton of buzz about who potential winners will be and even what the celebrities will wear. Although internet-savvy movie goers may have slightly different taste than The Academy who actually selects the winners, we thought it’d be fun to show who the potential winners are according to their popularity in internet search.

Do you have any favorites? I’m no movie expert, but you don’t have to be one to recognize that Rooney Mara was completely awesome in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. So I’m with the internet on that one – definitely hoping to see her win.
