It’s December, which means that everywhere you look, there are year-end roundups. Even our friends over at a little company called Google are releasing their retrospectives, and as it turns out, their most-searched entertainment intel is actually pretty fascinating. Sure, it makes sense that Brad Pitt was the most-Googled actor of the year. But who knew that Tom Hiddleston came in second?! He really should send Taylor Swift a thank-you note for that one.

Also crazy: The most-Googled actress of the entire year was Meghan Markle, whom no one had heard of until she started dating Prince Harry later in the year. That means she swept in, beat out all of the other contenders (including, you know, people who were super well-known), and claimed her place at the top out of the blue. To that we say: Props, Markle.
Other than actors and actresses, scroll down to discover the most-Googled Oscar red-carpet dresses, movies, musicians, songs, deaths, TV shows, selfies (apparently people are out there Googling selfies, who knew), celebrity breakups, celebrity weddings, and celebrity pregnancies. What a year.
