Post-Oscar Wrap Up: How well did I do?

First off, I want to commend the designers of the show. It was incredibly well done. Now that that's out of the way, let's see how bad I did:

Best Adapted Screenplay:
I chose Slumdog Millionaire. The winner? Slumdog Millionaire.

Best Original Screenplay:
I chose In Bruges. The winner? Milk.

Best Director:
I chose Danny Boyle with Slumdog Millionaire. The winner? Danny Boyle with Slumdog Millionaire.

Best Supporting Actress:
I chose Marisa Tomei. The winner? Penelope Cruz.

Best Supporting Actor:
I chose Heath Ledger. The winner? Heath Ledger.

Best Actress:
I chose Kate Winslet. The winner? Kate Winslet.

Best Actor:
I chose Mickey Rourke. The winner? Sean Penn.

Best Picture:
I chose Slumdog Millionaire . The winner? Slumdog Millionaire.

That's 5 out of 8 correct, or 63%. In reviewing the picks that I got wrong, they definitely were close match-ups. I would love to see the voting results from the Academy. I imagine that the Best Actor category was very close.

I'm also surprised to see that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button somehow managed to avoid winning any major awards. It was nominated for thirteen, and it took home only 3: Art Direction, Makeup, and Visual Effects. I should mention that it won most of these while competing against The Dark Knight, so the fanboys are in an uproar this morning.
