    the most googled person of the year was…

    As Jennifer Lawrence, Game of Thrones and Ellen DeGeneres’ Oscar selfie emerge as the most Googled searches in their categories for 2014, we see what the years most searched terms say about us.

    This year Ellen DeGeneres’ Oscar selfie (it’s now on 3,366,803 retweets) smashed the Twitter record previously held by Barack Obama when he tweeted “Four more years,” at the point of his re-election in November 2012, Tinder grew 100 times in popularity since its 2012 launch and Game of Thrones pipped Orange is the New Black to the post for most Googled TV show. As we head towards 2015, the world’s biggest search engine round up what the most Googled terms of the year were and what they say about us. Revelation number 1 is that we’re still compassionate human beings as they reveal that we searched for “hope” more than “fear,” “marriage” more than “divorce” and the legend behind Mrs Doubtfire, Robin Williams, topped the polls for most searched term in the year after he passed away in August.

    Another thing we learned was that we’re still obsessed with selfies, but this was put to good use with the #nomakeupselfie craze launched by Cancer Research UK generating $12.5 million and searches for “cancer research” doubling. The five most searched celeb selfies this year were…

    1.Ellen DeGeneres
    2.Emma Stone
    3.President Obama
    4.Kim Kardashian
    5.Danica Patrick

    Three time Oscar-winning film Frozen was the most searched for this year as well as the highest grossing animated movie of all time, and Gone Girl was the most searched for trailer.
