Welcome to the day after the Oscars! Hope everyone did well on their Oscar pools. As we mentioned in Live Blog, we are pleased to post a record of 19/24 in all categories last night. Our predictions record surpassed those of leading Oscar sites Awards Daily (18/24) and In Contention (18/24), and Entertainment Weekly (16/24). We are most proud of our predictions of Inception winning Best Cinematography (most people went with True Grit), Tom Hooper for Best Director (Fincher was the consensus), and The Social Network for Best Original Score (The King’s Speech was favored).

However, we are disappointed…

8:38 It’s time to say good night. It should be noted that Awards Frenzy voters have voted The King’s Speech as their best film of the year. The Social Network had led our poll question by a slim margin for weeks, but in the final days, The King’s Speech pulled ahead. Fitting, isn’t it? Awards Frenzy finishes the night by correctly predicting 19 out of 24 categories. It matches our best predictions record ever, and we are extremely proud, especially because this was a very difficult year to predict. Check in with us tomorrow when we will post our 2012…

Best Adapted Screenplay: The Social Network

Best Art Direction: Inception

After “The Kings Speech” swept the three major pre-Oscar award ceremonies (The Director’s Guild, Screen Actors Guild, and Producer’s Guild), there are few people who would put their money on any other Best Picture contender come time to place their bets and mark their ballots for the office party. Although this year’s Best Picture already seems to be locked and decided, last year’s competition was much more disputed.

The predictions for Best Picture at the 2010 Academy Awards seemed to split right down the middle between the mega box-office hit “Avatar” and the critically acclaimed independent film “The Hurt…

And here we go. The biggest prize of the night. Which film will have its name etched in history alongside Casablanca, The Godfather, On the Waterfront, The Sound of Music, Schindler’s List and Braveheart? The King’s Speech is the favorite, but The Social Network and other films are still chomping at its heels. Because of the new preferential voting system, adopted last year, anything can still happen. Here are the nominees:

127 Hours
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The Kids Are All Right
The King’s Speech
The Social Network
Toy Story 3
True Grit
Winter’s Bone

It’s been…
