2014 Oscar Review

Following up on my Oscar picks as documented here:

The first name in each category was my guess at the winner. If I wanted someone or something else to win, that is in parentheses. Incorrect guesses are struck through, and winners are bolded.

I did not make predictions for four categories.

Total correct: 11/20 and three more where the one I wanted to win did, though it was not the one I picked.
