Thought I would throw out some oscar picks. Won a little on the Grammys so we'll try this out. All other comments welcome!
Lots of high prices out there and these are the best value for the price, in my opinion.
Best Director: Clint Eastwood +100
Best director: Martin Scorsese, "The Aviator"; Clint Eastwood, "Million Dollar Baby"; Taylor Hackford, "Ray"; Alexander Payne, "Sideways"; Mike Leigh, "Vera Drake." As with best picture, the directing category is a two-contestant race. Eastwood won the Golden Globe and the Directors Guild of America honor, the latter being a solid forecast of who will go on to win the Oscar.
Only six times in the previous 56 years has the guild winner failed to take the directing Oscar, though three of those times have come in the last nine years, and the guild is only two-for-four in predicting the academy winner over the last four years.
Best Sound Mixing: Ray -140..its a movie about music so seems to be the obvious choice.
Best Picture: Million Dollar Baby +150. Has to beat out the Aviator. The + odds make it a choice.
Good Luck. These are very small bets for basically entertainment purposes but I still think there is money to be won on the above 3.
