With the Oscars 2011 awards broadcast only hours away (it's tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific on ABC), we can't wait another minute — we'd like to know who's going to win, and we want to know now.

Here's an exclusive infographic that could give us a hint or two.

However, according to Webtrends, this pre-show buzz might not indicate the real winners. When Webtrends experts were looking at the details of the data, "it was clear that this is the 'people's choice' – a popularity contest and not necessarily the view of the Academy."

How did Webtrends get this data? It scoured blogs, Facebook, Twitter feeds and other microblogs, putting a finger on the pulse of the online world, picking up the pre-buzz and figuring out who might have a good chance of winning.

So take a look at this data, keeping in mind that these "winners" might not necessarily point toward the Academy's choices. Who do you think will win? Let us know your picks in the comments.
