The nominations for the 95th Annual Academy Awards were unveiled way back on January 24th by Riz Ahmed and Allison Williams. The multiverse comedy-drama-action Everything Everywhere All at Once continued its incredible (and improbable) awards run, leading the nominations with 11 mentions. The biggest shocks came in the competitive Best Actress category (both for who missed and who was included), 2022’s highest domestic grosser Top Gun: Maverick missing a Cinematography nomination, and, more personally, that I did so well on my predictions this year.

I correctly predicted 97/120 of this year's nominees (80.83%), which landed me at the very top of the leaderboard over at GoldDerby for the second time in my prognosticating career (1st place finish of 9,900 participants, baby!). I got the opportunity to chat with some of GoldDerby’s editors following the nominations about my predictions and who we thought was ahead in each race at that time.

Read on for a list of the nominations and my predictions results.
