Sorrowful and soulful, cold and hot. Robin Williams, True Detective, Frozen and Iggy Azalea (pictured above) were the biggest trends in their respective showbiz categories based on the top Google searches in Canada this year.

Google Canada released its “Year in Search” results early on Tuesday.

Williams topped the list of trending celebrities for the most tragic of reasons, of course. The legendary comedian committed suicide on Aug. 11.

Also trending for the wrong reasons was ex-CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi, who came in at No. 5 among celebrities. I’ll bet a lot of people who Googled Ghomeshi couldn’t even spell his name before the scandal broke regarding his sexual activities which allegedly involved criminal physical assault.

The star power of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson clearly helped to push the HBO series True Detective to the top of the trending TV list.

Animation ruled the day with trending movies, as Frozen iced the competition and led the way.

And in an impressive doubling up, Azalea not only was the top trending musician of 2014, she also finished 10th on the list of top trending celebs overall.
