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 DIRECTOR ODDS
Lord of the Rings and A Beautiful Mind are competing in most categories except those for the best costumes, music (song), cinematography, art direction and sound. There can, however, be only one winner. It is hard to tell anything certain but when looking at these two films through the prism of directing it is obvious that Peter Jackson (13/8) is the better bet, as opposed to Ron Howard’s film.

| 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. |
