The 89th Academy Award was certainly an eventful one, to say the least. The shocking ending was something, of course, but there were other memorable moments as well (which we cover here).

We would not pretend that we forgot the Oscar predictions that we did a while ago. How did we fare?

We made predictions for 14 categories, stating who could possibly win, should win, and will win. To be fair, let's only consider our 'Will Win' picks. The correct predictions will be bolded for easier inspection.

Category	Flora (10/14)	Freddy (8/14)	Winner
Best Picture	La La Land	La La Land	Moonlight
Leading Actor	Denzel Washington	Denzel Washington	Casey Affleck
Leading Actress	Emma Stone	Isabelle Huppert	Emma Stone
Supporting Actor	Mahershala Ali	Mahershala Ali	Mahershala Ali
Supporting Actress	Viola Davis	Viola Davis	Viola Davis
Animated Feature	Zootopia	Zootopia	Zootopia
Cinematography	La La Land	La La Land	La La Land
Director	Damien Chazelle	Damien Chazelle	Damien Chazelle
Original Score	La La Land	La La Land	La La Land
Original Song	City of Stars	City of Stars	City of Stars
Production Design	Hail, Caesar!, La La Land	Arrival	La La Land
Visual Effects	The Jungle Book	The Jungle Book	The Jungle Book
Adapted Screenplay	Hidden Figures	Arrival	Moonlight
Original Screenplay	La La Land	La La Land	Manchester by the Sea

Not too bad! Oscar can be unpredictable, and we got more than half of our predictions correct. When we both agree on who will win, most of the time they do (8 times, to be exact). The exceptions are our predictions of 'La La Land' to win Original Screenplay and Best Picture. We know we are not the only ones thinking that 'La La Land' would win the top prize, since it won 6 awards for the night.
