Actresses nominated for Oscars 2025 are already among us. Competing in the Best Actress category, one of the biggest at the ceremony, are names like Fernanda Torres (“I’m Still Here”), Demi Moore (“The Substance”), Mikey Madison (“Anora”), Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez) and Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked”).
Those who vote to decide the results of the awards are the members of the Academy. They define the criteria for choosing the winners. But in terms of search popularity, who would have the upper hand in the dispute?
Through the help of the platform Google Trends the CNN carried out a survey of searches for competitors in the biggest actress category, with the aim of understanding which name had the highest number of searches on Google around the world in the last month and in the first hours of the announcement of the nominees.
Which artist nominated for the “Best Actress” category at the 2025 Oscars was the most searched for?
According to the survey carried out by CNN on Google Trends, the person leading the most searched list in the last month is Demi Moore (represented in red in the image below). She is followed by Fernanda Torres in second position (blue) and Cynthia Erivo (green).
It is worth mentioning that the value of 100 present in the search graph represents the highest peak in popularity of a term. A value of 50 means half the popularity and a score of 0 means there was not enough data about the term.

Demi Moore saw a spike in searches on January 6, shortly after her victory in Golden Globe 2025. At the ceremony, she was awarded in the category of Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for acting in “The Substance” . After winning her first Golden Globe, the artist gave an emotional speech about her journey as an actress and the fact that it took more than 45 years of her career to be acclaimed at an awards ceremony.
The regions that most searched for Demi Moore were the United States, Canada and Australia.
In relation to the data collected in the first hours since the announcement of the nominees, which took place on the morning of this Thursday (23), the greatest popularity goes to the Spanish Karla Sofía Gascón (in purple). She is followed by Demi Moore (red) and Fernanda Torres (blue).
Mikey Madison, from “Anora”, lags behind his competitors on both charts.

The Oscar ceremony is scheduled for March 2 2025. Check out the full list of nominees.
