Odds to Win Oscars

Here are the odds on who will win the Oscar for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role":

Leonardo DiCaprio (Blood Diamond) 8/1
Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson) 19/1
Peter O'Toole (Venus) 6/1
Will Smith (The Pursuit of Happiness) 5/1
Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland) 1/11

Here are the odds on who will win the Oscar for "Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role":

Penélope Cruz (Volver) 23/1
Judi Dench (Notes on a Scandal) 25/1
Helen Mirren (The Queen) 1/30
Meryl Streep (The Devil Wears Prada) 16/1
Kate Winslet (Little Children) 8/1

Here are the odds on what movie will win the Oscar for "Best Motion Picture of the Year":

Babel 4/3
The Departed 1/6
Letters from Iwo Jima 9/1
Little Miss Sunshine 1/1
The Queen 20/1

For what its worth - the only movie in any of the three above categories that I've seen this year is The Departed. If you look close - you'll see that there is a huge favorite in each of the three categories. I'd bet (just on percentatges) that there is an upset in at least one of the three categories.
