And the Academy Award for the most buzz goes to...

There is a very interesting article at Mashable where, WebTrend has published some published data on Social Media and guessing who is likely to win. With the Oscars awards broadcast only hours away, this kind of knowledge can help occasional gamblers that bet on the best film or best actor — so to get help on who’s going to win, can be a profitable business. Here’s an exclusive Infographic that could give us a hint or two.

Recently these award shows are a little unpredictable. And For Some people, it is nothing like watching under worked and overpaid acting community; tell the rest of the world how great they are! Nevertheless this year Inception is our pick for this Oscars, but chances are that the best film will not win it again this year. Like last year where the world voted by their pocket in going to see Avatar, yet Oscar in their wisdom, decided to give it to an obscure politically motivated movie about Iraq war that are sitting on shops video shelves and even at 1/2 price they are not picked up.

Here is the Measuring of the Pre-Oscar Buzz with a snapshot of who and what the online community is talking about. And the Academy Award for the most buzz goes to...

However, according to Webtrends, this pre-show buzz might not indicate the real winners. When Webtrends experts were looking at the details of the data, “it was clear that this is the ‘people’s choice’ – a popularity contest and not necessarily the view of the Academy.”

How did Webtrends get this data? It scoured blogs, Facebook, Twitter feeds and other microblogs, putting a finger on the pulse of the online world, picking up the pre-buzz and figuring out who might have a good chance of winning.

So take a look at this data, keeping in mind that these “winners” might not necessarily point toward the Academy’s choices.
