After offering the 68th Golden Globes Ceremony its own red carpet search experience, Microsoft is now doing the same for this year’s Oscars. Users can head over to the Bing Visual Search Page for the 53rd Academy Awards, and get a unique perspective over the upcoming event, nominations, but also past ceremonies and winners.

Customers will be able to use a variety of options in order to filter the results returned to the Bing Visual Search for Oscars 2011, in accordance with a plethora of topics.

With just a click of the mouse, Bing reveals that Ben-Hur, The Lord of the Rings and Titanic have won a staggering 11 Oscars each.

Similarly, another click reveals that Tatum O'Neal is the youngest Oscar winner, having received the accolade when she was just 11. O'Neal is followed closely by Anna Paquin which got her Oscar at the age of 12.

But of course, Bing also enables users to dig deeper than this. Selecting any of the Visual Search results displays a world of information on the specific query containing links to related Visual Search galleries, websites associated with the topic, additional Academy Awards details, related nominations and even images.

The Redmond company centralized and combined Bing search results with a Bing survey (via CrowdTap) and reveals that “32 percent of respondents said Michael Douglas should have nabbed a best supporting actor nomination for his role in Wall Street II. 41 percent said Mila Kunis should have been nominated for best supporting actress.”

The software giant notes that it might be a good idea for a new accolade to be introduced.

“A new award should be created for films that impact real world search patterns. Searches for “Mark Zuckerburg” jumped 5.5 fold in October, the same month that “The Social Network” was released in the U.S. In fact, searches for “Facebook” more than doubled during Oct. and Nov. 2010, returning to the 2010 average in the month of December,” a Bing representative stated.
