How Well Did Monk Do on His CMA Awards Predictions?
Each year, before the CMA Awards broadcast I like to make my predictions on who I want to win in a category and who I think will win.
Last year, I got only one prediction correct. This year, I did much better.
I wrote PREDICTION by who I thought would win and wrote WINNER by the actual category champion.
