So, here's what I predicted that actually came about. I had predicted Christophe Waltz to win for Best Supporting Actor, Mo'Nique for Best Supporting Actress, "Avatar" for Art Direction, "Avatar" for Best Cinematography, "Star Trek" in the Makeup category, I was at odds for the Best Picture category but "The Hurt Locker" was not even mentioned in my predictions so I'm counting that as a loss, and "Avatar" for Visual Effects. So that makes a total of 6/24. That would be an F.

Before I go, I encourage you all to go watch the back-stage thank-you cam videos. Especially Jeff Bridges' thank-you which is in five parts.
