Kate Winslet Could Make It Sixth Time Lucky At The Oscars In Best Actress Betting
Friday 23 January 2009 at 13:08
No surprise, Kate Winslet is favourite to win the Oscars Best Actress this year but there is a little surprise in that she was nominated for The Reader rather than Revolutionary Road.
Nomination Number Six For Winslet
Winslet won the Best Supporting Actress for The Reader at the Golden Globes and Best Actress for Revolutionary Road. It seems a little odd that she has been nominated as Best Actress for a role she won Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes. She is the 5/4 favourite with Boylesports none the less but it is a little worrying that she has been nominated for five academy awards prior to this and is still yet to win. SkyBet are offering 3/1 that she cries during her acceptance speech in anticipation of her winning.
Anne Hathaway To Win Oscar?
Anne Hathaway was favourite to win the Best Actress at the Golden Globes for her role in Rachel Getting Married but she missed out to Winslet. She is the second favourite to win Best Actress and she is 9/4 with SkyBet. If Winslet is snubbed for the sixth time then it is likely to be Hathaway who gets the nod.
Best Actress to Take A Tumble?
Veteran actress Meryl Streep is up for Doubt and can be backed at 13/2 with William Hill whilst Angelina Jolie is 16/1 with SkyBet for Changeling and Melissa Leo is 20/1 with VC Bet for Frozen River. SkyBet are offering 20/1 that any of the Best Actress nominees fall over on the red carpet at the event.
