Heidi The Cross-Eyed Opossum An Expert At Predicting Oscar Winners

"Heidi, Germany's cross-eyed celebrity opossum, came up one pick short of perfectly predicting top awards at the Oscars, incorrectly tipping '127 Hours' to win best picture, which instead went to 'The King's Speech.

Heidi became a star in Germany when her photo appeared in the mass-circulation newspaper Bild in December, but her international following has blossomed, including a Facebook following of about 320,000.

Heidi predicted winners from her enclosure in Leipzig by placing her paw on an Oscar statuette with the actor's photo." Reuters

Heidi, the cross-eyed opossum, is the only European celeb who can compete with American stars the likes of Angelina Jolie, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears.

Heidi knows a thing or two about Hollywood, she came only one pick short of perfectly predicting the top awards at the Oscars.

I predict that a movie starring an animated version of Heidi would be a huge smash.

Germany also gave us Octopus Paul who correctly predicted the outcome of last year's World Cup matches. Unfortunately, Paul has passed away. Let's hope that Heidi lives a long and happy life.
