It was billed as one of the most unpredictable Oscars ceremonies in history, but when all was said and done, things actually played out more or less as expected. Prognosticators and industry insiders were spooked from last year’sMoonlightshocker, which wasn’t surprising just because of the envelope mix-up, but becauseMoonlightbroke longheld stats that paved the way to an Oscar win....
