Tuesday 17 February 2009 at 11:32
 Slumdog Millionaire, which has cleaned up at the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs already this year, is set for further success this week at the Oscars. Amongst other awards, the film is set to land both the Best Film and Best Director Award.
Slumdog Set For More Awards Success
Slumdog Millionaire is the 1/7 favourite with Bet365 and SkyBet to win Oscars Best Picture and director Danny Boyle is the 1/8 favourite with Bet365 and Stan James to win Oscars Best Director. Slumdog Millionaire is a brilliantly told story in the usual Danny Boyle gritty style and is fully expected to scoop more glory this weekend at the Oscars ceremony.
Benjamin Button Is Clear Of The Rest
It seems only one film can challenge Slumdog Millionaire and that is The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, which has been nominated for a whopping thirteen Oscars. Benjamin Button is 6/1 with Bet365 in the Oscars Best Film betting and director David Fincher is 13/2 with Bet365 to land the Oscars Best Director award.
Gus Van Sant To Milk The Oscars?
Gus Van Sant and his film starring Sean Penn, ‘Milk' is next in the betting for two of the most prestigious awards at the Oscars. Milk can be backed at 25/1 with SkyBet and Stan James whilst Gus Van Sant is 25/1 with Paddy Power and Coral to win the Best Director.
Ron Howard And Stephen Daldy Complete Betting
That leaves Ron Howard who is 33/1 with Stan James to win Best Director for his film Frost/Nixon, which is 40/1 with Coral to win Best Film. The other film and director up for an Oscar is The Reader and director Stephen Daldry. The Reader is 40/1 with Paddy Power and William Hill to win Best Film and Stephen Daldry is 40/1 with Paddy Power to win the Best Director.
