Well someone's beat me to the punch and taken the 'evens' on 'Falling Slowly' to win 'Best Original Song'. It's now 8/11.
General odds and sods elsewhere.
Bwin have odds on 'Best Film Editing':
The Bourne Ultimatum beat out
No Country for Old Men for the ACE (American Cinema Editors) award (the other nominees for the award were Into the Wild, Michael Clayton and There Will Be Blood) last week.
Big odds there for an upset to happen in 'Best Film Editing' but will 'No Country' sweep the awards? I'm not betting on it as I've got more than enough on my plate as it is.
Sky Bet have come up with a couple of props:
Can't say I'm too enamoured by trying to predict either of those for money (if I had to, I'd bet on two Brits winning ~ specifically Day-Lewis and one of Christie and Swinton ~ and wouldn't bother betting on the 'pensioners' prop). If you're going to oppose Julie Christie then you'd be better off doing it in some other manner...
Nice
PR piece over at Bettingpro but they don't provide the meat and potatoes.
Yes, Julie Christie will be wearing a Tanya Gill dress
BUT Marion Cotillard won't. There seems to be whispers that she can provide the upset in 'Best Actress'...I was listening to
BBC Radio 2's 'The Weekender' and Julie praised Marion's performance! Does Julie know she might not be winning!?
Marion
probably won't be wearing a Nina Ricci dress though.
Chanel have apparently chosen Keira Knightley over Marion as to who'll be wearing
their dress to the Oscars so I think
People Magazine are wrong there. I'll try and figure this out before closing time.
EDIT: Ah fook it! I've put £11.32 at 10/1 on the off-chance that Marion Cotillard's wearing a Chanel dress
AND wins Best Actress.
I don't have Sky Movies and have no plan of watching the show live over the internet as I'll be listening to play-by-play commentary over on Five Live and refreshing webpages on various websites for updates. The Barack or Hillary bet is just nuts. No bet there from me although I'd favour Obama getting a mention first.
Oh Gawd...I feel like I'm gonna have a breakdown on Monday morning!
