Oscars Best Actor And Best Actress Odds Put Colin Firth And Natalie Portman In Line For Awards
Tuesday 22 February 2011 at 11:35
The 83rd Academy Awards take place on Sunday and the latest Oscars 2011 Betting Odds suggest that many of the major Oscars are already foregone conclusions, two awards that look very likely to go to the favourites are the Oscars Best Actor and Oscars Best Actress awards.
Colin Firth And Natalie Portman Are Short Priced Favourite
The shortest priced favourite of the night in the Oscars 2011 Betting Odds comes in the Oscars Best Actor category, where The King's Speech actor Colin Firth looks almost a certainty to win the Oscar for Best Actor, some bookies including Victor Chandler and Coral are offering just 1/100 on the British actor, if you still want to back Colin Firth you can get best odds of 1/33 with SkyBet. The Best Actress category also has a strong favourite, Black Swan star Natalie Portman is only 1/9 with Victor Chandler to win for her performance in Black Swan, her closest rival for that award is Annette Bening who is rated at 7/1 with Paddy Power and Sportingbet.
The King's Speech And The Social Network Expected To Dominate
One of the biggest battles on Oscars night will be the one between The King's Speech and The Social Network, which are expected to be the two big winners of the night. The King's Speech is expected to have the upper hand in the Best Picture category, just like it did at the BAFTAs, The King's Speech is just 2/9 with Bet365, who offer up to £200 in free bets to new customers, whilst The Social Network is 4/1 with Bet365 and Stan James. It could also be a repeat of the BAFTAs for Best Director, where David Fincher's stylish direction in The Social Network is favourite at 8/13 with Bet365 and Coral whilst Tom Hooper is 6/4 with Victor Chandler to win for The King's Speech. The Fighter is favourite to pick up Best Supporting Actor and Actress, to find out those odds and many more Oscars 2011 Betting Odds click on any of the orange bookie links above.
