The Oscars are an excuse for the celebrities to dress up and feel glamorous until that is they find out they haven’t won their category. Fortunately for the rest of us mere mortals, we can afford ourselves the luxury of picking and choosing our categories to win on.
BEST FOREIGN FILM ODDS
The best foreign film will be definitely romantic Amelie with its magnificent art direction, cinematography, sound and writing it has left Elling, Lagaan, No Man’s Land and Son of the Bride way behind. And Amelie’s Oscar debut will be nothing of surprise after its approval at the “French Oscars”.

| Betting Verdict |
FIXED ODDS
4pts Lord of the Rings to win Best Film at 7/4
2pts Lord of the Rings to win 9 or more Oscars at 13/8
With so many bets to choose from, it is important to stay focused and not just to lump on all the favourites just because the bookmakers think they will win.
The headlines that will follow the Oscars will surely be all about Lord of the Rings. As mentioned earlier, it is normally the film with the most nominations that walks away with the Best film award. The odds of 7/4 certainly look worthy of a bet.
The fact that the Lord of Rings has received so many nominations, there is every chance of the film winning a large majority of the categories. It may be purely a speculative effort, but Lord of the Rings to win 9 or more Oscars at 13/8, should keep us entertained throughout the Oscars ceremony. |
