The Academy Awards are on Sunday.
I have to admit I haven't seen every movie nominated for an Oscar. But I've heard a ton about most of them, and since I do have the spiritual gift of remembering people and plot of movies even though I haven't seen the movie, I'm sure it's okay.
Here's my list of who should win and who will win. Fun.
I haven't included all categories, just ones I care about.

Nice picture :^)
I haven't seen too many of the movies
I have heard that No Country For Old Men is good so it wouldn't surprise me if they win a lot of the awards
I loved Juno but I don't think it will win too many awards although Ellen Page was awesome.
I saw the preview for Away From Her with Julie Christie...I just remember her in Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait so it's weird to see her old. I love the song "Falling Slowly" so I hope it wins
Between your who will and who should you were dead on except for best actress :)
They did a great job with "Falling Slowly" and I'm glad it did win
