Button, Button, Who Lost the Button?

Here is a fascinating article in which the writer describes a scenario in which "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" will lose all 13 Oscars for which it is nominated. Now, I'm not the biggest "Button" fan, but I can't see it being shut out at the Oscars. I don't see it winning any of the Top 8 Oscars, but I do see it winning at least two technical awards, Makeup and Visual Effects.
