The 91st Academy Awards witnessed laughs, tears, excitement, and surprises on Feb. 24. Usually, one can predict the outcomes of who will be victorious for each category, yet the Academy’s known to spice things up in unexpected ways.

Were my predictions correct, or were they miles apart from what actually happened?

My projection for Best Leading Actress: Glenn Close–“The Wife”

My personal pick: Olivia Coleman/Glenn Close

Winner: Olivia Coleman–“The Favourite”

I’m very torn about this one. Hype was aimed towards Glenn Close’s emotional performance in “The Wife,”  yet Coleman edged her out with a memorable performance on her part…

If only ties were typical.

My projection for Best Picture: “Roma”

My personal pick: “The Favourite”

Winner: “Green Book”

Oscar controversy at its finest: this win immediately shocked viewers around the world. “Green Book” was generally respected, but not to the same extent as contender “Roma” or even “A Star Is Born.”

At least “Bohemian Rhapsody” didn’t take home the the prize.
