Thoughts: It appears I’m not showing myself to be worth my salt at picking the Oscar winners. I am truly surprised by both Actress categories, and especially by the Editing award. And I couldn’t rise above the 60%. Ironically I scored the ‘reverse’ of what I wanted — 58% instead of 85%.
Note: I inadvertantly forgot to include Cinematography in my predictions. My prediction was for Atonement, which, unfortunately, lost tonight.
My Score: 11 of 19 (58%)
