With the Academy Awards just three days away, the Internets are being overworked by bloggers and moviegoers obsessed with staying up on the latest in Oscar news. I also wouldn’t put it past awards season’s prime navigator Harvey Weinstein to have a boiler room full of trained chimpanzees plugging in Jennifer Lawrence’s name and ” Silver Linings Playbook ” into all the top search engines, such as Yahoo!, for instance.  The web portal has collected some interesting data about Oscar-related searches, which I’ve culled below:  * Jennifer Lawrence is the most searched Oscar-nominated actor this year. Searches for Jennifer Lawrence in the past year on Yahoo! are seven times higher than for Bradley Cooper . *Searches for Seth McFarlane are up 1644% in the past 7 days on Yahoo!. He is the top searched “seth” followed by Seth Green, Seth Meyers Seth Curry, and Seth Rogen . No pressure, Rogen! *The Top Searched Oscar-Nominated Movies on Yahoo! (Past 30 days): Silver Linings Playbook   (57% of searches come from females) Argo   (55% of searches come from females) Lincoln (59% of searches come from females) Les Miserables Zero Dark Thirty Life of Pi Django Unchained Beasts of the Southern Wild Amour *The Top Searched Oscar-Nominated Actors on Yahoo!
