I hope you're talking about The Blind Side. If that film gets an best pic nod, 9 should win for best adapted screenplay and Megan Fox should be nominated for best actress and best supporting actress.
I'm reasonably certain he means Up in the Air, which you have omitted under actor, supporting actress and screenplay -- categories most view as gimmes.

I've established a few theories. They probably won't be published for some time though.

Kevin MacDonald already has won--for Best Documentary for One Day in September.

The Hustons, on the same night, for 1948.
And the Coppolas – Carmine as composer and Francis for producing, directing and writing – won for the Godfather Part II.

But, it would be the first for it to happen in the same category as the Hustons won in separate categories.
