Performing Arts newsletter

Yesterday, I published an article entitled "Oscar predictions from an election guru" in which I related how election guru Nate Silver made several pics for Oscar winners on his FiveThirtyEight blog. Let's see how he fared!

Here are Silver's pics from yesterday:

Best Picture: Argo

Best Director: Steven Spielberg

Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis

Best Actress: Jennifer Lawrence

Best Supporting Actor: Tommy Lee Jones

Best Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway

The actual winners were:

Best Picture: Argo

Best Director: Ang Lee

Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis

Best Actress: Jennifer Lawrence

Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz

Best Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway

By my reckoning, Silver was 67% correct, having only missed Best Director and Best Supporting Actor. Not bad for an election guru!

Remember to do something for your career every day and break a leg!
