My 2008 Academy Awards Prediction Results
And the winners are . . .
Yet again, I made my annual Oscars predictions and joined many contests.
Three years ago I correctly guessed 13 categories and two years ago I guessed 14 correctly. (Last year I got lazy.) This year, I didn't take very much time making my picks, and obviously the results show. This is my worst showing yet, as I only correctly guessed 11 of the 24 categories — my first year under 50%. That said, I'm happy with getting seven of the eight major categories correct. I simply did horrendously in the lesser categories this year.
Without further ado, here is how I fared on each of the 24 Oscars categories:
