Comparison between My Prediction and Winner: 20/24
Comment: This year is a bit easier to predict. However, it is always not easy to predict the winner of Best Picture. The Shape of Water comes strong and wins the biggest prize. The show is not as funny as last year and still a good one though. Want to see more upsets happening actually. LOOK FORWARD TO THE 2019 OSCARS!!
