Full List of 2007 Oscar Winners
Every year since 1998, we've been asking you to predict who will win at the annual Academy
Awards.
As usual, Numbers readers were accurate in their predictions, this year
picking 14 out of the 24 winners, including some very tight races - in particular picking out
The Departed's Best Picture win.
That's the eighth year out of ten that readers have correctly picked the top Oscar.
One disappointment this year was finally losing our 100% record on predicting the winner of Best
Animated Feature.
Our pick was Cars, but Happy Feet won on the night.
In the actor categories, we scored 3 out of 4, with only Alan Arkin's win for Little Miss
Sunshine a (moderate) surprise.
Over the last three years, we're still scoring 11 out of 12 in those categories.
As usual, the short subject film winners were hard to predict, although we did call correctly
on West Bank Story.
Ignoring the shorts, we scored 13 out of 21 across all categories.
The biggest surprise on the night among the major categories was I Need to Wake Up winning
best original song over the trio of contenders from Dreamgirls.
The song from An Inconvenient Truth scored only 8.28% of the votes cast in that category.
Another surprise was The Lives of Others winning Best Foreign Language Film over
Pan's Labyrinth, although the German film did score a total of over 16% of the votes.
We're currently running the numbers on the competition.
We'll announce results later in the week.
It's too early to be sure, but it looks as though you'll have had to predicted a lot
of winners to be in with a chance.
Here's the complete list of this year's Oscar winners, along with the percentage
of Numbers readers who predicted they would win in our Predict the Academy Awards
competition.
Lines in bold below indicate where our predictions where spot on.
