BAFTAs 2011 Betting Odds Suggest Kings Speech Will Clean Up
Monday 07 February 2011 at 11:10
 The BAFTAs take place on Sunday night and the latest BAFTAs 2011 Betting Odds suggest The King's Speech will be the big winner whilst it looks as though favourite backers are best off with the BAFTAs rather than the Oscars, where many of the favourites are much shorter in the betting.
Colin Firth Set For More Awards On Sunday
Much of the talk in awards season has been about The King's Speech, a brilliant film about King George VI and his problems with a stutter, it is expected that The King's Speech will be the big winner at Sunday's BAFTAs, the most likely award seems to be Best Actor, Colin Firth is just 1/50 with Bet365, who offer up to £200 in free bets to new customers, to win that award. You can also get 1/50 with SkyBet and Victor Chandler. Several bookies make Colin Firth even more certain to win the Oscar for Best Actor, Coral and Sportingbet offer just 1/100 on the British actor winning the Oscar.
Kings Speech Faces Tough Battle In Best Director Category
The King's Speech also looks a shoe in to be awarded Best Picture at the BAFTAs, William Hill go the best odds on that by offer 1/12, the shortest odds available are less than half that, Victor Chandler make it a 1/25 chance. The King's Speech is also expected to win the BAFTA for Best Director, Tom Hooper is 4/5 with Stan James and that looks the most backable price currently, the main rival is David Fincher who directed The Social Network, Fincher is 5/4 with Bet365 and SkyBet. The other big award is Best Actress, it is expected that will go to Black Swan actress Natalie Portman, she is also a short priced favourite at 1/6 with Victor Chandler currently.
