Cool! All the nominations printed, but not my selections. That's fine, I'll just circle them.
New Feature: Make and track your Oscar picks
I'm guessing it's just too lightly colored/subtle for most printers to pick it up. Sorry about that!

Here's a list of the winners and what percentage of users got each right:
2010 Oscar Winners
Some fun stats:
Users had the easiest time with the acting categories; the majority correctly predicted all four of the acting awards, ranging from 53% (Bullock) to 75% (Waltz). Average among the four acting categories: 63%.
And, of course, 46% correctly predicted that The Hurt Locker would take home the big prize, which isn't bad considering the category had ten films to choose from.

I remember reading that apparently Roger Ebert considered this year's Oscars the easiest to predict in quite a long time. All of his major picks were dead on.

Yeah, Mo'Nique, Bullock, Bridges, Bigelow, and Waltz were all pretty obvious, and The Hurt Locker wasn't too tough to predict, either. Up for Best Animated Film was a slam-dunk, too. That said, a lot of the other categories were trickier, and we definitely saw a few less-than-likely winners last night.

Ebert picked 15 out of 20, but he didn't make predictions for the three short subjects and sound mixing.

He didn't pick sound mixing? There was a war film nominated, that meant it was almost a certainty that The War Locker would win. I think the only technical award I got wrong was Best Make-Up. I thought it was a 50/50 between Young Victoria and Star Trek. I went with YV, as it's a period drama, but I guess there were more aliens in Star Trek than I thought.
