Predictions and Winners Full commentary on the night's events (and non-events) will be forthcoming in a separate page. For now, I am listing below the winners of the 2002 Academy Awards and, even as it pains me, lining them up against my own predictions. I had an especially weak year: the predictions in red were erroneous, and there's a lot of red! But I at least foresaw Adrien Brody's win, almost alone among fellow prognosticators. So hurrah for me on that one, and hurrah for Adrien! |
