Oscar Nominations: I Got 31 Out of 35 Right!

​That's more than 88%! I only got four wrong in the categories I predicted, and that's worthy of some kind of trophy, no? No??? True, I didn't predict The Blind Side and A Serious Man getting Best Picture nods. (The latter truly deserves it; I just thought it was way too esoteric for Oscar).
