Comparison between My Prediction and Winner: 19/24
Comment: It is much easier to predict this year.Almost all awards are as expected. Birdman wins the best tonight. Happy for Big Hero 6 to win animated feature. Surprised to see Whiplash sweep so many. The Grand Budapest Hotel is winning big on technical tonight. Finally Eddie won and I am satisfied. Neil is no less than Ellen last year. Some of the speeches are touching. This is this first year doing LIVE here. LOOK FORWARD TO 2016 OSCARS!!
