The following appeared in all five of my predictions:

Best Picture: The Aviator & Finding Neverland
Best Director: Martin Scorsese
Best Actor: Jamie Foxx
Best Actress: Imelda Staunton & Kate Winslet
Best Supp. Actor: Clive Owen & Thomas Haden Church
Best Supp. Actress: Cate Blanchett, Laura Linney & Natalie Portman
Best Orig. Screenplay: The Aviator & Eternal Sunshine
Best Adapt. Screenplay: Finding Neverland & Sideways

(The above 8 categories were the *Main categories.)
Bottom Line: I rule.

I didn't make year in advance predictions except for Actress & Supporting Actress. I predicted both Kate Winslet for Eternal Sunshine and Cate Blanchett in The Aviator correctly. Let's face it: Blanchett was this year's Renee Zellweger. As far as the big Oscar failures, I'd say Vanity Fair and Troy were the ones that seemed like shoe-ins March of last year. I never took Alexander seriously, luckily, and that was showered in Razzie noms.
