#13 definitely has two correct answers. Slumdog Millionaire did not win for either Original Screenplay or Sound Editing. It won for Adapted Screenplay and Sound Mixing, while Milk and The Dark Knight, respectively, won those awards. I got it "wrong" by answering Original Screenplay.

Thanks for catching this, I corrected it - the option should have been Adapted not Original.
