Here are my guesses for Oscar winners in technical categories

Original Screen Play Nominees
Juno
Michael Clayton
Ratatouille
The Savages
Lars and The Real girl

Should and will win: Diablo Cody's brilliant first script for Juno has been winning all the major awards and finally a nominee from Juno has lock on a caregory but some say men in the academy may go for Michael Clayton as well.

Adapted Screenplay Nominees:
No Country For Old Men
There Will Be Blood
The Diving Bell & The Butterfly
Away From Her
Atonement

Should Win: I am rooting for fellow Canadian Sarah Polley for her try as writer/director Sarah Polley but some say her script isn't as strong as other heavyweights in the category.

Will Win: This could be one of NCFOM sweep categories

Editing Nominees:
No Country For Old Men
The Bourne Ultimatum
The Diving Bell & The Butterfly
Into The Wild
There Will Be Blood

Should Win: Bourne was a very editing driven movie and I liked it alot

Will Win: *sigh* Another win for NCFOM

Art Direction Nominees:
Sweeney Todd
There Will Be Blood
The Golden Compass
Atonement
American Gangster

Should Win: Sweeney Todd was amazing

Will Win: Sweeney but There will be blood is a contender

Cinematography Nominees:
Assasination of Jesse James...
There Will Be Blood
The Diving Bell & The Butterfly

Atonement

Should Win: Atonement
Will Win: A tie for me between Assasination and Atonement

Costume Deign Nominees:
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Across the Universe
Sweeney Todd
La Vie en Rose
Atonement

Will Win: Tie between Sweeney Todd and Atonement

Makeup nominees:
POTC: At worlds End

Should and Will Win: Transformers although Golden Compass was cool

Original Score Nominees:
Atonement

Original Song Nominees:
