Academy Awards odds: Best Picture

atonement.jpg

The Daddy of them all--Best Picture. Every single year there seems to be fierce competition for this and studios pull out all of the stops to try to maximize exposure and sway the Academy, and it doesn't happen very often where one is a dominant picture and no one else has a chance. Thankfully, this isn't one of those years as well, as evidenced by the odds for Best Picture, provided by betonline.com:

ATONEMENT +675
JUNO +450
MICHAEL CLAYTON +2500
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN -335
THERE WILL BE BLOOD +220

While No country for men is the favorite, it's not by much, and as you can see, it seems every picture outside of the thriller Michael Clayton has a shot. Even Juno, which was a late entry, has a better chance! Although most people will say that this comes down to a battle between No Country and There will be Blood. I believe that No Country will end up winning because simply it has been hailed as an Oscar favorite even from the moment its trailer hit the screens. Daniel Day-Lewis will take home the Best Actor trophy, but unfortunately I don't think his film has enough gas to outdo Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, and Tommy Lee Jones' masterpiece.
