I have been making Oscar predictions in this blog since 2005. In all those years, I have never even gotten close to the number of correct predictions I made this year.
At this year's ceremony, I correctly chose a whopping 18 of the 24 awards! While some of the technical awards can be attributed to luck, I am proud that I was able to pick ALL of the major awards, including The King's Speech for Best Picture. This just shows what paying attention to the guild awards can do for you.
Here is an archive of all the tweets I made during the ceremony.

Tweetdeck won't work (that's what I get for adding a column for the Oscars hashtag)

Red carpet begins on E! in about 15 minutes. I really hope they don't keep talking about baby bumps like they did at the Globes. #oscars
