2017 OSCAR NOMINATIONS and How I Did Predicting

As a whole, in 21 categories, predicting 107 total nods, I had 86 right for a 80.3% total, including nailing 7 categories perfectly. If you add in the alternate choices as well, tack on another 12 for 98/107 = 91.5%. 

The Shape of Water leads with 13
Dunkirk with 8
Three Billboards with 7
Darkest Hour/Phantom Thread with 6
Lady Bird/Blade Runner with 5
Call Me/Get Out/Mudbound/Star Wars with 4
