Odds to Win Best Picture
The Artist -350
The Descendants +425
Hugo +1000
War Horse +1400
The Help +2000
Midnight in Paris +2500
Moneyball +3000
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close +3000
The Tree of Life +4000
It seems like The Artist is almost a given to win Best Picture. Most of us have not seen the movie but that doesn’t seem to matter when it comes to the Academy Awards. Everyone has pretty much handed this award to The Artist so there is no value in going any other way.
Odds to Win Best Actor
George Clooney (The Descendants) -250
Jean Dujardin (The Artist) +150
Brad Pitt (Moneyball) +700
Demian Bichir (A Better Life) +2500
Gary Oldman (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) +2500
While some people think that The Artist may sweep the awards we don’t think that is going to be the case. George Clooney looks to be an easy winner for Best Actor even though Brad Pitt should get a long look for his role in Moneyball – a film that some of us have even seen.
Odds to Win Best Actress
Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady) -200
Viola Davis (The Help) +220
Michelle Williams (My Week with Marilyn) +300
Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs) +2000
Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) +2000
This is the most fascinating category as Meryl Streep is heavily favored to win in Oscars betting odds but you might be surprised to learn she rarely wins. She has been nominated 17 times but has only won twice and not since 1983.
Odds to Win Best Director
Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist) -150
Martin Scorsese (Hugo) +150
Alexander Payne (The Descendants) +550
Woody Allen (Midnight in Paris) +1300
Terrance Malik (Tree of Life) +1800
This could be another upset as Martin Scorsese might just beat out Michel Hazanavicius for Best Director. Check out the BetDSI Facebook page today for entertainment betting news.
