If you have any interest in television or award shows, then you’re probably aware that the 65th Annual Emmy Awards took place last night. Maybe you care, maybe you don’t.
Personally, I do care! I mean, I kinda have to I’m in the business! And I was fortunate to win an Emmy (here’s my Emmy nite story and acceptance speech video)
Back to last night, I personally wish that I had enough time to watch some of these shows—barring 30 Rock, I don’t know that I have seen any of them. Damn that reminds me, I need to hurry and clean up more space on my DVR for this season!
Whether you were into the Emmy’s or not last night, Google was busy doing something that you very well may find interesting. Google has a Google Trends Top Charts Page where you can see what is trending on Google. You can pick between different categories and topics to see what topics or phrases are trending based on search volume. Last night they actually had the 2013 Emmys as a category where you could see which actors and shows were trending in real-time, and what position they were in leading up to the show and then again afterwards. If you are into statistics, you might find this even more interesting than the actual show. The only show and or actor/actress that held strong in first place from the red carpet to post-show and actually won the Emmy Award in its category was Breaking Bad.
I have listed Google’s Pre-Red Carpet and Post show trends below.
Ohh and before I forget! A huge congrats to Carson Daly for winning an Emmy last night as part of The Voice – the show won the “best reality show” category.
