Oscar Betting Markets Hold Value For Discerning Punter

The nominations for Hollywood's showcase, The Oscars, came out yesterday with few surprises. As predicted here on The Betting Directory the prices for the premier gongs are already shortening, after the Golden Globes, so the discerning punter should cast around the many books that are available to spot some value. Fortunately bookmakers Paddy Power have a good choice of markets, where some value is to be had.

Inevitably Meryl Streep is not only nominated for the Best Actress Award, but is a 4/9 favourite to win for her depiction of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady and by the end of February these odds are sure to shorten further. Whilst the BAFTAS will occur before the Main Event, and the British can sometimes reward different talents, they will have little impact on the Academy members in Hollywood who are responsible for the decision. It seems that the word across the pond is that Meryl will finally be celebrating a hatrick of those venerable trophies.
