Overall we did pretty well on our predictions this year.
Here are the things we got right:
* Grand Budapest Hotel Art & Production Departments – lived on stage (easy ones really)
* Innaritu wins Best Director (many had Linklater here)
* Moore wins Actress (easy)
* Arquette wins Supporting Actress […]
Last year we did pretty well on predictions, but last year was easier. This year has been tough to make out. The biggest theme of this year’s Oscars is #OscarsSoWhite. I completely agree, the nominations will be the most memorable thing about the awards this year, […]
