So, how did my odds stack up this year? Let's check the numbers.
Movie wins by
Should: 6/15 (40%)
Will: 6/15 (40%)
TV wins by
Should: 3/11 (27%)
Will: 4/11 (36%)
Verdict: A rather solid year, though the strongest section was definitely in the movies. In that section, I believe that I have the acting categories almost down. I just need to see where what I believe and what I know overlap and see what exactly made me think that way. I believe that if I fine tune my voting for the Oscars, I will be able to ace the winners. Also, let's hope that the Artist beats the Descendants in the big categories.
