Golden Globes - Best Actor In A Motion Picture Drama
It was thought that Brendan Fraser (6/5) was a shoo-in for the Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama, however, he is no longer favourite in that category.
He has been usurped with the bookmakers by Austin Butler (5/6) who played Elvis in the Baz Lurhman Biopic.
