Default Oscar Pool!

The other best picture thread got me thinking that we should have a pool for the oscars. Post who you think will win each of the following 24 categories. Note that the categories are staggered in points, so correctly predicting Best Picture counts for more than predicting best makeup.

Its so hard deciphering what should win and what will win.

Also, this year is a pretty unique year in terms of best picture. I dont think there is a clear cut favorite. I think Departed, Babel and Little miss sunshine all have a very good shot at winning.
