There's the BAFTAs and um, the Razzies as well to mull over. I've got a few bets lined up and I won't just stick 'em on my 'Kitchen Sink' thread like last year.
Sportingbet have a 'Most Oscars won by a single film' market:
'Less than 5' 6/5, Exactly 5 '9/4', 'Exactly 6 or 7' 7/2 and More than 7' 6/1.
I put £100 at 11/10 on 'Less than 5' and then it moved to 6/5 whilst all the other prices stayed the same....I must have got the 'special price'.
It's a crap bet come to think of it. I've pegged
No Country for Old Men to win at least Picture, Director, Supporting Actor, Adapted Screenplay and Editing as well.
