This exclusive infographic, courtesy of Zinio and Webtrends, measured the interest generated by nominees in the top categories. Media mentions were taken from more than 200,000 magazines, while the Twitter traffic was measured by Webtrends, who focused on which shows and stars are getting favorable mentions in tweets.

Who’s going home with the hardware? Preshow buzz doesn’t necessarily predict the winners, but check out which stars and shows are both occupying the top spot in these Twitter and media meters, and that might give you an idea. For example, the show Glee and 30 Rock‘s Alec Baldwin are both capturing the most attention both in media and Twitter, so that might be an indicator.

The Emmy Awards show starts Sunday at 8 p.m. ET, with the pre-show at 7:30 p.m. ET on Fox.

Who’s winning a Grammy Award tonight? We have the early buzz, gathered from social media sources since December 1. Will the pre-show buzz predict who brings home the hardware tonight?

Here’s an infographic from Meltwater Group, using its own Meltwater Buzz tool to track social media conversations about the top three Grammy Award categories: Best Album, Song and New Artist.

Meltwater determined its pre-buzz winners “based on the volume of mentions and sentiment of the social media community across blogs, microblogs, social networks, comments, message boards, videos and Wikipedia.”
