Nate Silver's Oscar Predictions

Nate Silver, the genius behind fivethirtyeight.com, has used his number skills to predict who will win this Sunday's Oscar awards.

This guy is never wrong, he nailed the 2008 presidential election and he'll probably be right on all of these Oscar predictions too. I'm not sure how he does it, but he's pretty amazing. It looks like "Slumdog" will be winning the big ones this year... I'm so excited!
