The curious g blog has insightful Oscar® predictors. The ZipPolls revealed that readers chose the correct award winner in three out of the four categories!

The ZipPoll results:

  • With ten films nominated, the 25 predictions were spread thin. Leading with 28% of the votes, The Hurt Locker took the top honors.
  • In the directing realm, 55% of the 22 voters knew history would be made by choosing The Hurt Locker’s Kathryn Bigelow, making her the first woman to win the award in this category.
  • With 26 votes tallied for Actor in a Leading Role, 38% correctly chose Jeff Bridges’ performance in Crazy Heart as the winner.
  • For Actress in a Leading Role, 47% thought Gabourey Sidibe’s turn in Precious would win her the Oscar. Not so. Of the 19 votes cast, 26% chose winner Sandra Bullock for her role in The Blind Side.

Another year is in the books. As always, thanks for participating!
