I had probably linked his predictions prior to our Oscar Pool, but Nate Silver does an analysis of where he went wrong. There's a comment there that congratulates him on missing only two. I think we all did just as good and we were picking names out of a hat. When I think back, it would've been just as well to have gone with the front runners. You would've nailed all them. And no, Sean Penn, wasn't a big surprise -- see Eddie Murphy in best supporting actor.
