HOW DID I DO: I scored 18 out of 24 categories missing Actress, Supporting Actor, Original Screenplay, Animated Feature, Documentary Short and Sound Editing.  I was, perhaps, a bit stubborn on my own biases for at least of a few of these, but soak in for a decent showing considering the competitiveness of this manic year.  No one, for sure, could see a tie coming in Sound Editing, and there was a more generous supply of spreading the wealth than I first envisioned as eight of the nine Best Picture nominees took home prizes (the lone standout is unfortunately one of best films of the year in Beasts of the Southern Wild.)

HOW DID YOU DO?
