'Slumdog Millionaire,' Mickey Rourke, Kate Winslet and Heath Ledger among rumored winners

LOS ANGELES -- Earlier this week a blog created for the sole purpose of posting a leaked list of this year's Oscar winners did exactly that. In and of itself, this would be cause for mild interest at best, but the fact that said list has since been pulled raises curiousity and speculation.

Luckily for spoiler fans, by the time the original post was removed other media outlets like Cinematical.com had already picked up and copied the list of rumored winners.

Independent Spirit and Golden Globe winners Mickey Rourke, Kate Winslet and Heath Ledger dominating the acting categories gives the list credence, or could be some mighty fine guessing. Same goes for "Slumdog Millionaire" as a pick for best picture and Danny Boyle for best director.

Of course the Academy itself has denied to E! News that any such list could possibly exist, saying that as of Thursday (Feb. 19): "Pricewaterhouse Coopers is still counting the ballots, and there are only two people there who will know the complete list of winners in advance of the envelopes being opened during the ceremony."

Still, for those curious enough to keep track at home, the full list of rumored winners follows:
