Oscar Predictions?

For Oscar night I thought I would talk about Nate Silver. I have been watching Nate Silver on Countdown for awhile now and I am quite impressed by his incredible ability to predict the outcome of almost anything (although he is famous for baseball); especially the results of elections! So I am super curious about how accurate his predictions for the Oscars will be this Sunday! Here's the thing: I couldn't care less about the Oscars and haven't seen like 95% of the movies that are up for awards because I spend most of my time watching movies a five-year-old can watch, but I am actually looking forward to the results simply because of this one man and his incredible statistical analysis skills. So, we'll see!
