This morning marked the announcement of this year's Oscar nominations. Like most years, it wasn't without its surprises. Like most people, I decided to make predictions for what would make the cut. It wasn't my best year, but there's a lot that I got right. So, let's look at how well I did at making my predictions in all of the major categories and determine whether or not I did a good job.

Predictions: 4 out of 5
Overall: 28 of 34
Accuracy: 82%
The surprises definitely caught me off guard, meaning that all except one category had one wild card that kept my predictions from perfectly aligning. As much as I am sad to have not predicted a perfect score, at least the ones that I was wrong about were generally more interesting than what I picked. It's a great year for Oscar-nominated movies, and that's enough to please me.
