I got 7/8 in the top 8 categories, 19/23 overall - kinda slayed it against the critics, tbh!
 

Here's how I scored against 29 "experts" from Gold Derby:

 

IN THE TOP 8 CATEGORIES:

1 beat me, 19 tied me, & 9 did worse

 

THE FULL 23:

2 beat me, 0 tied me, & 27 did worse

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

WHAT I MISSED:

 

BEST ACTRESS: I thought Lily Gladstone would take it in the end, but it went to Emma Stone
BEST SOUND:  I went with Oppenheimer, but it went to The Zone of Interest

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE:  I predicted Spider-Verse, but it went to The Boy and the Heron

BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT FILM:  I went with The ABCs of Book Banning, but The Last Repair Shop took it

As for my OSCAR POOL:

​

The winner is... 

TIM CAHILL, an old Dartmouth friend who ALSO has been running an annual Oscar Pool for ages, and I think this marks the first time that either of us has won each other's pool!
He slayed, only missing Sound and Doc Short, out-predicting all 29 Gold Derby experts!

He scored a 58/60 (in my system)! (with me next at 56)

​

Congrats, Tim!  She wins $75 from the 15 people that entered! (including myself, & his own $5 back haha)

​

'TIL NEXT YEAR!  Gonna try to do a better job of getting the word out next year, and make the pot BIGGER!

(Just been busyyyy....)
