10 right, 5 wrong, 1 I didn't try predicting...

Adding to the list of predictions I've gotten right... 10. Best Achievement in Sound Editing - KING KONG

Adding to the ones I got wrong...

5. Best Original Song - I guessed DOLLY PARTON's TRAVELLIN' THRU; and IT'S HARD OUT THERE FOR A PIMP by John Houston, Cedric Coleman and Paul Beauregard won.

the awards: so far...

Well, so far I've gotten 8 predictions right: 1. Best Supporting Actor - George Clooney 2. Best Achievement in Visual Effects - King Kong 3. Best Animated Feature - Wallace & Gromit 4. Best Achievement in Costume Design - Memoirs of a Geisha 5. Best Achievement in Makeup - Chronicles of Narnia 6. Best Supporting Actress - Rachel Weisz 7. Best Documentary Feature - Mach of the Penguins 8. Best Original Score - Brokeback Mountain

I got 3 wrong:

1. Best Short Film, Animated - I guessed ONE MAN BAND, the winner was THE MOON AND THE SON 2. Best Documentary, Short Subject - I guessed GOD SLEEPS IN RWANDA, and the winner was A NOTE OF TRIUMPH 3. Best Achievement in Art Direction - I guessed KING KONG (which got robbed!), and the winner was MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA

I didn't bother trying to predict the BEST SHORT FILM, LIVE ACTION (I shouldn't have tried predicting any of the short subjects actually, Roger Ebert didn't, I should have followed his lead), and the winner here was SIX SHOOTER.

So yeah, the night marches on. I gotta get some homework done.

Academy Awards

Earlier today I posted my predictions for this year's Academy Awards at Epinions.com, and I just posted it on my own website. So far, I'm 6 / 8 (although I didn't predict one of the ones awarded BEST SHORT FILM, LIVE ACTION, so technically I'm 6/7; with the one wrong being BEST SHORT FILM, ANIMATED, where I shoul've not tried a prediction as I haven't seen any of those films).
