So out of the predicted categories I scored 10 out of 19 for a whopping winning percentage of .526. Highlights for me were seeing the inevitable win by Daniel Day-Lewis and the always self-effacing John Stewart not suck at hosting.  What I didn't like were some of the overblown performances, underdone performances, and probably the same tired ubiquitous montages.  Am I a pundit?  Hardly, but this will have to do until next year.
