Just to prove Iím an honest man, Iíll compare my predictions for the Academy Awards to the actual results. Final tally: Out of 24 awards, I got 13 right (54%) Of the ìBig 6î (picture, director, the 4 acting awards), I got 4 right (67%). Since some were admittedly a crap shoot (such as best documentary short), Iím satisfied with how I did. I admit to missing the big one (Best Picture), but rumor has it that the vote was close. If I could do one over, it would be Best Actor-I mistakenly predicted an upset when Bridges was clearly the sentimental favorite. (My hits are marked with an X.)
