Google has unveiled its annual list of top searches of the year. Parasite, which created history this year at the Oscars, became the most searched film around the world.
Actor Tom Hanks, who was among the most popular celebrities to contract the coronavirus earlier this year, became the most searched actor. Jada Pinkett Smith’s explosive Red Table Talks episodes also earned her a spot on the list. Joaquin Phoenix’s Best Actor Oscar win for Joker got him the seventh spot.
Netflix ruled above all others in the TV shows category, nabbing the top 6 spots on the list. The most searched show was mega hit docu-series, Tiger King, followed by Cobra Kai, Ozark, The Umbrella Academy and the internet’s latest favourite, Queen’s Gambit.
Interestingly, the world’s most searched word definition also came from the world of entertainment. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s WAP was the most searched definition of the year. To know what it means, we suggest you Google it too.
