BAFTAS Odds Indicate Gary Oldman Has Another Near Miss

The hottest markets in the world of novelty betting at the moment come courtesy of the Film and Television award season, so it is no surprise that here on The Betting Directory we find ourselves reporting on the various Odds on almost a daily basis. Yesterday we concentrated on the impact that The Screen Actors Guild awards would have on The Oscars and today we look at our own domestic ceremony that preempts the Main Event in Hollywood and cast an eye over Paddy Power's markets for The BAFTAS.

Whilst each ceremony prides itself on having its own unique flavour and trumpets it's independence, as the merry go round begins early in the year the main players are consistent. Those films that have caught the eye of the critics, the actors and the viewing public rarely differ from one country to another, although there can be some domestic biases that can create a few differences. Meryl Streep for example, was pipped to the post at the SAG awards this week for Best Actress by Viola Davis's performance in The Help despite being hotly tipped to win at The Oscars, which was probably more a reflection of the civil rights subject matter, which resonated more with the voters than the story of Margaret Thatcher's role as Prime Minister in the UK.
