Oscar Gambling Heats Up as Awards Show Quickly Approaches

The night that all entertainers wait for all year has finally arrived. This is their Super Bowl. The night that legends are made. The night the Oscars take over television.

While actors and actresses take most of the day getting ready for the big night, gamblers are busy assessing odds and making last minute wagers for the event.

Among the favorites tonight are Daniel-Day Lewis for Best Actor. If he does not win, it would be a major upset. Odds makers do not even have anyone close to his odds of -1600.

The Best Picture race is a tough one for gamblers to predict. The favorite is No Country For Old Men at -335. There are a couple Movies that could capture the award, however. There Will Be Blood and Juno are both close according to the odds at +220, and +350, respectively.

The Best Actress category seems to be a battle between three women. Marion Cotillard, Julie Christie, and Ellen Page, are all lumped together as the favorites. It would be no surprise if any of these talented women won the award.

The time for guessing is over. The preparations are complete and there is nothing left to do but sit back and enjoy the show while rooting for your favorite. Unless of course, there is a gambler in you. In that case, there are just a few precious minutes left to make your final bets.
