I think Dr. Gonzo will win. He should finish with 18 and I doubt anyone can match that. That's a pretty impressive total.

Fudge, if I had not changed my original picks for costume design and best leading actress I would have 18! I was Superbad btw.

Congrats to DoctorGonzo!

Sigh. If I voted with my head instead of my heart (I really didn't want to acknowledge the possibility that Cody would win screenplay), I would've at least been tied for 17.

Yeah. I can forgive most of the misses I had, but missing art direction, editing, and costumes were frustrating because I flip-floped on each. The rest were either longshots I didn't buy into or categories that were too tough to predict.

Really glad I stuck with my 'risky' choices of actress and supporting actress... those could really have gone either way. 16 total for me, woo!

The lack of love for Transformers killed me, ended up with 15/24.

I'm happy w/ double digits and 15 of the 21 total guesses. I was 5/6 on the ones that I thought I had a clue on.

I'll work a little harder next year.

16/20. Not too bad. If only I had gone with my initial thought and guesses Bourne for more of the technicals. Should have known people would want to honor it somehow. I did get lucky with my total guess on documentary short though.

How in the hell did I miss this?!?!?!?

I must have been busier than I thought last week.

Oh well. There's always next year... right?

Congrats to all the winners.

Can someone explain why I picked The Diving Bell and the Butterfly for Adapted Screenplay? I obviously wasn't in my right mind. I defer to the Pool I held at my party where I correctly predicted No Country. I want that point back.

Same for me... I made that mistake along with changing Tilda Swinton for Amy Ryan (supporting) and Sweeney Todd for Blood (Art Direction) last minute.

13/24 could have been worse.
