This page covers the Academy Awards® for films released in 2006, which were awarded on February 25, 2007. The predictions were last updated on February 23, 2007. I took inspiration from Oscarwatch (and their charts showing everyone else's predictions), And the Winner is..., Hollywood Elsewhere, and others.
Earlier, I attempted to predict which films and performances would be nominated. That page is here.
