Oscar Guesses


Come back in 24 hours to see how I've fared.

Here's how I did.  Out of 24 categories, I predicted 19 correctly -- a not-too-shabby 79% accuracy rate.

(For what it's worth, I'm traditionally not particularly good at this, because I let my preferences and personal favorites get in the way.)
