Academy Awards: Place Your Bets
The writers' strike may look threatening to this year's Academy Awards, but that hasn't stopped some people from calculating the odds for this year's nominees. The British bookies at Ladbrokes.com released their numbers for the top categories within hours of the announcement. (You can go to AMC's Oscars poll page and cast your vote for who you think will win in all the major categories.)
According to the site, the Coen brothers' No Country for Old Men is the current favorite with 4-6 odds. Michael Clayton didn't fare nearly as well, pulling a paltry 12-1 odds for taking home the statue.
