Oscar Predictions Pt. 2 - how'd I do?

19 out of 24, better than I expected this year. Those short film categories always kill me because I usually haven't seen them and only Academy members who attend special screenings get to vote on them, as opposed to the whole membership. I never in a million years would have predicted the best song win for Hustle and Flow. I guess Hollywood wanted to prove they were "hip" this year.
