After months of making changing predictions, the nominations have finally been announced. Now let’s see how our contributors fared with nominations. We’ve got four special tracking orders. “Perfect Scores” are contributors who correctly predicted all nominees in the category, “Universal Omissions” are Oscar nominees that no one predicted, “Alone in Thought” are individual predictions that no one else correctly guessed, “Earliest Predictions” are the predictions that made our list the earliest that we hung onto and materialized into nominations, and “No Second Guesses” are predictions that would have been right had we kept them in place.
