> I was worried when the night started, and I was wrong on the first five Oscars awarded. I still wasn't sure that I even broke even, wins for losses, by the end of the night, until I tallied up the votes just now. This year's Oscars have been called the most unpredictable in ages by many, despite a lock for Best Picture, and Billy Crystal even said so on the air. I was thinking it might not be after all, until the show actually started.

Pretty amazing considering I'd never even heard of any of the contenders. I just made a good guess based upon their titles. I'm impressed that I even got close to getting half of them right, considering that my other guesses were almost as cavalier. A couple of my guesses were based upon my own specific criteria: for Short film, live action, I went for the longest title; for Original song, I went with Disney. It's not science, but it worked.
