The
Top 26:
|
|
|
The
standings on the left are an attempt at seeing how the
Oscar winner predictors did at predicting
the actual Oscar winners. This list was created with
those predictors with the highest number of correctly
predicted winners ranked highest. When a tie occured,
an attempt at breaking that tie was made by determining
the total percentage correct. When ties still
existed, those ties were broken by the predictor's predicted
top eight category prediction percentage. Even still,
ties remain and we've attempted to list these ties in
the same order they are listed in on the complete
chart page. As always, we can either stick with the
ties or break them with the winner of any future fist
fights.
With
21 correctly predicted winners, Scott Feinberg (last year's
10th place winner) takes first place. Coming in second
is Robert Schuette with 19. Coming in third, a three way
tie, are myself, Thelma Adams and Variety's Academy Tracker
(last year's first
place winner).
Just six of eighty-five pundits chose Crash for
Picture and only four chose A Note of Triumph
for Documentary Short. David Carr and
Richard Roeper were the only two to succesfully predict
100% of the Big 8 categories.
Please, keep in mind that this is by no means a
scientific standing and was determined only from the 85
prediction lists featured here
where you will find what is believed to be an accurate
reading of the final Oscar winner predictions of these
predictors. Though I've tried to remain as accurate as
I can, these standings and the snapshot below may very
well contain errors and miscalculations. Please send comments,
corrections, updates and additions to us via our comment

Congratulations
to all... see you next year!
