Right Royal Weekend For Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren is the 1/12 red hot favourite to win the Best Actress BAFTA on Sunday night to add to her bursting trophy cabinet.
The Queen is 15/8 second favourite to win the Best Film award, for which Departed is the even money favourite.
The Best Actor award looks destined to go to Forest Whitaker who is the 2/7 favourite but William Hill have seen good money for Peter O'Toole at 5/2, including a £1,200 bet from a customer in Essex.
The new Bond Daniel Craig is totally friendless in the betting and for once will have to settle for second best.
William Hill also offer 5/1 that Sacha Baron Cohen turned up as his alter ego 'Borat' and 33/1 that Daniel Craig arrives with a White Cat; 6/1 that he arrives with a Bond Girl on each arm and 25/1 that he abseils onto the red carpet.
"We fully expect to see Helen Mirren on the podium on Sunday night but Judy Dench is a big price at 10/1 and I am sure we will see a late rush for her on Sunday. If Daniel Craig wins the Best Actor award we will be the one's cleaning up," said William Hill's spokesman.
