I got 16 out of 24 correct or 67%. Not bad, not bad.

The worse category of the night was Best Original Song. For one, only two songs?! If that was the case, they should've just scrapped the category from the show. Another thing, what happened to the songs being performed like previous years? Again, just scrap the category.
