Microsoft's Bing prediction engine has correctly predicted the 2015 top Oscar winning wards that include best picture, best director, best actor, best actress, and the results for supporting actor and actress.

In all, Microsoft successfully predicted 84% of the 24 results and only 4 were wrongly predicted.

Microsoft uses a prediction model for the Oscars that is under Microsoft researcher David Rothschild over at the company's New York City research lab. Microsoft had also predicted the World Cup, English soccer results and NFL games and also rightly predicted the US election in 2012 in all 50 states.
