Ladbrokes Revises Hollywood Oscar
Odds
Money
continues to pour in for the favorites ahead of Sunday
night's academy awards, according to the famed London based
oddsmakers, Ladbrokes.
And globally punters
appear unwilling to look beyond the front runners.
George
Clooney, nominated
for best supporting actor, is the only non-favorite to
attract major interest.
As a result bookies have
shortened Clooney from 5/2 to 7/4 in the best supporting
actor category, with favorite Paul Giamatti, eased from 4/6
to 5/6.
Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick
Weinberg, said: "If the weight of money's anything to go by
the favorites should emerge with the awards. But this is
Hollywood and they love an against-the-odds story. A few
shocks wouldn't surprise me."
Philip Seymour Hoffman and
Reese Witherspoon are the hot favorites to land the
respective best actor and best actress gongs. Hoffman can be
backed at 1/7, with Witherspoon available at 2/9.
