This year it seems the races are wide open — which makes the post-Oscar hype market harder to call. Will stalwarts like Sean Penn and Meryl Streep beef up their trophy racks? Or will someone lesser-known emerge, ala Adrien Brody and Jennifer Hudson in past years?

Here are the eBay stats of all 20 nominated actors and actresses, gathered over the past 90 days:

Performance by an actor in a leading role Total listings Total sales Average price
Richard Jenkins in The Visitor 121 $605 $10.80
Frank Langella in Frost/Nixon 680 $2,483 $12.80
Sean Penn in Milk 5,111 $14,409 $8.98
Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 15,052 $70,543 $14.21
Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler 2,472 $19,426 $17.16

He seems like a long-shot to take home the actual trophy (or maybe it’s just hard to imagine!), but Terapeak gives its nod to the crazy-marketable Brad Pitt.

Performance by an actress in a leading role Total listings Total sales Average price
Anne Hathaway in Rachel Getting Married 2,940 $10,790 $10.84
Angelina Jolie in Changeling 14,864 $84,464 $16.44
Melissa Leo in Frozen River 50 $427 $21.32
Meryl Streep in Doubt 4,535 $29,047 $13.95
Kate Winslet in The Reader 3,541 $21,993 $12.88

Brangelina strikes again, and it’s not particularly close: Angelina Jolie.

Performance by an actor in a supporting role Total listings Total sales Average price
Josh Brolin in Milk 1,020 $4,693 $14.22
Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder 4,532 $36,056 $16.07
Philip Seymour Hoffman in Doubt 715 $1,152 $7.68
Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight 16,102 $170,158 $25.02
Michael Shannon in Revolutionary Road 254 $796 $12.06

The most dominant (and real-life likely) winner yet: Heath Ledger, for his legendary take on the Joker.

Performance by an actress in a supporting role Total listings Total sales Average price
Amy Adams in Doubt 1,271 $6,913 $15.36
Penélope Cruz in Vicky Cristina Barcelona 2,287 $5,371 $9.34
Viola Davis in Doubt 36 $164 $14.94
Taraji P. Henson in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 30 $181 $30.17
Marisa Tomei in The Wrestler 1,399 $4,067 $9.04

Finally, in the most interesting eBay race of the four, Penélope Cruz has nearly double the listings of singer-actress Amy Adams, yet Adams somehow outsells Cruz significantly. We like the former Junebug star: Amy Adams.

Happy watching!
