So the Tarot and I predicted 6 out of 24. A quarter or 25%. Grin. I’d say that was a lousy average. But it was fun! And I enjoyed watching this year’s Oscars a lot. Did you?
the only ones i guessed right were Meryl and Octavia. I got every other one wrong (you did bette than me!
Trudy, it is fun to guess, isn’t it? Now I am waiting for the final American Idol contestants. I haven’t watched much of the prelims and just deleted them all from my TV. I’m going to do my predictions this year without knowing who they are. Scary! 😀
I missed the WHOLE Thing. Even Angelina Jolie’s right leg.
It would be interesting to see what your guesses would have been without using the Tarot – to see whether you got better than 6/24!
I liked the Artist, but not sure about the quantity of Oscars that it won. I foresee a summer of handsome men in 3-piece suits and spats 😉

The right leg thing was pretty darned funny.
