Last week we talked to an Oscar predictor who had some pretty highfalutin ideas about who was going to win this year. That wasn't because he'd seen all the movies—he'd actually only seen two— but because he had big data on his side.
David Rothschild is a researcher for Microsoft who makes prediction about elections, sports, and the Oscars on his website, www.predictwise.com
Last week we learned about how he makes those predictions and this morning, we thought we'd check in to see just how accurate he was.
