We'll see how I do.  Last year, I got 19 out of 24 correct, but I was generally pleased with those mistakes because the Academy went with choices I figured they wouldn't.  This year, I really hope I'm wrong about Cinematography and "The Tree of Life" gets a win...

16 out of 24.  It's okay, not great though.  I'm glad I was wrong about Editing and Song; I think those wins are spot on.  I was wrong about Cinematography, but not for the right film.  I still love you, "Tree of Life".
