2010 Oscars Betting Odds Make It Tight Battle Between Avatar And The Hurt Locker
Saturday 06 March 2010 at 09:00
2010 Oscars Betting Odds have Avatar and The Hurt Locker almost inseparable in the Oscars Best Picture betting odds although it is more obvious who will win the Best Director at the Oscars if you look at the latest odds.
You Could Toss A Coin To Find Best Picture Winner It Is So Close
The current 2010 Oscars Betting Odds make The Hurt Locker favourite to pick up the Best Picture on Sunday night and you can get odds of 4/5 with Bet365, who offer up to £200 in free bets to new customers, on Kathryn Bigelow’s war film being the winner. If you fancy Avatar to win Best Picture at the Oscars, like it did at the Golden Globes, you can get slightly bigger odds of 6/5 with Bet365 and Ladbrokes on that. There is a rumour doing the rounds that Inglourious Basterds could win as the Academy are not happy with the tactics being used by the Avatar and Hurt Locker teams and if that has any foundation then Inglourious Basterds must be a great bet at 16/1 with Boylesports and 888Sport, William Hill have already had to cut it from 16/1 to 10/1 and Bet365 shortened it from 14/1 to 12/1.
The Hurt Locker Looking Much More Certain To Pick Up Best Director
Although the Best Picture still looks hard to call the same cannot be said about the Best Director award at the Oscars despite that and Best Picture having the same pecking order. Kathryn Bigelow, director of The Hurt Locker, is the short priced favourite at just 1/4 with VC Bet whilst James Cameron, director of Avatar, is second favourite at 10/3 with Bet365 and SkyBet. Quentin Tarantino has been nominated for Inglourious Basterds and he is 33/1 with Coral to win Best Director.
