The eight nominees for best picture include: "Black Panther," "Blackkklansman," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "The Favourite," "Green Book," "Roma," "A Star is Born" and "Vice."

"Black Panther" was the biggest box-office hit of all the nominees with over $700 million, but that didn't make it the most-searched.
