 Mirren's
Oscar Already On Mantelpiece
Bookmakers
William
Hill have already
begun paying out to punters who have backed Helen Mirren to
win the Best Actress Oscar - it is the first time in over
twenty years of Oscars betting that William Hill have paid
out on a winner before the announcement has actually been
made.
The bookies will fork out
in excess of £50,000 to Mirren fans who have been
backing her since the Oscar betting opened. At the close of
betting Helen Mirren was the 1/66 favourite with Meryl
Streep 12/1 second favourite.
"Our customers think the
'Best Actress' race is already over and, following Mirren's
recent success at other Award ceremonies, we are inclined to
agree with them. With a bit of luck, once punters have
collected their winnings they will reinvest on other more
competitive Oscar markets", said Hill's spokesman Rupert
Adams.
If Helen fails to win it
will be the biggest upset in Oscar betting
history.
In the other categories,
William Hill rate Forest Whitaker as their 1/5 favourite to
win the Best Actor Oscar, Martin Scorsese the 2/9 favourite
to win the Best Director and Even money that his film The
Departed will win the Best Film award.
