Mad Professah predicted the nomination list last week, below is a comparison between predicted nominations and actual nominations. In the four acting categories, I got 16 out of 20 actors correct, a shocking 80% accuracy rate, thanks to my 100% accuracy in predicting the Best Actress "race" (Helen Mirren is almost certain to be crowned Best Actress on February 25th at the Academy Awards Ceremony hosted by Ellen Degeneres at Hollywood & Highland).
Overall nomination prediction accuracy rate: 29 out of 40, or 72.5%.
