The 78th annual edition of these kudos was full of surprises (read full report here). Only two of these nine races went to the frontrunners: Best Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis, "Lincoln") and Best Foreign Language Film ("Amour"). 

Not surprisingly, our Users, Experts and Editors did not fare that well when making predictions.

No one foresaw that Best Actress win by Rachel Weisz ("The Deep Blue Sea") and only six Users predicted Matthew McConaughey to win Best Supporting Actor. 

One User -- coni21 -- scored 67% while nine -- MarhsallFlores, xander1, FEDEclown, RyanSteinke, baharatnayak2002, ENGLAND, isomac, nlaher and Mickymick0104 -- earned 56%. 

Among our Experts, Sasha Stone (Awards Daily) and our own Tom O'Neil scored 45%. Three of our Experts -- Edward Douglas (Coming Soon) Guy Lodge (In Contention) and Paul Sheehan (Gold Derby) -- scored 34% as did Editor Daniel Montgomery. Kevin Polowy (Next Movie) earned 23% while Tariq Khan (Fox News) got 12%. Steve Pond (TheWrap) scored 100%, but only predicted one race -- Best Picture.
