Oscar Predictions Part 4 - Recap of Who Will and Who Should Win

So, in case you didn't actually want to read those three previous posts, he's a recap of what I think will and should win on Oscar night. The Academy will probably give Slumdog a sweep, but if it were up to me, it would be more evenly split, with Benjamin Button taking the top prize. But, such is life.
