Avatar and The Hurt Locker lead the 82nd Academy Awards with nine nominations each. The films join The Blind Side, Inglourious Basterds, District 9, An Education, Precious, A Serious Man, Up and Up in the Air in the expanded best picture race, which features 10 nominees for the first time in 66 years. Oscars expands best picture race to 10 nominees Avatar director James Cameron will face off against ex-wife and Hurt Locker helmer Kathryn Bigelow for directing honors. Bigelow, only the fourth woman to be nominated for best director, would be the first to win. Others in the director competition include Quentin Tarantino (Inglourious Basterds), Lee Daniels (Precious) and Jason Reitman (Up in the Air). Daniels is the only second African-American director to be nominated. John Singleton was first, for Boyz N the Hood, nearly 20 years ago.

Avatar And The Hurt Locker Favorites In 82Nd Oscars Odds
Monday, May 10th, 2010It looks as if the 2010 Academy Awards for the best Picture is either going to be “Avatar” or “The Hurt Locker” as they are the heavy betting favorites heading into Sunday Night’s Oscars odds. “Avatar” opened as an even money 1/1 bet while “The Hurt Locker” was an even bigger 20/27 favorite. The best “sleeper” plays would be either “Inglourious Basterds” at 9/1 or “Up in the Air” at 25/1.
Also on the board are “Precious” at 30/1, “The Blind Side” at 50/1, “A Serious Man,” “An Education,” and “Up” at 75/1. “District 9″ is the longshot at 100/1. Jeff Bridges was the prohibitive favorite to win Best Actor in Oscar odds at 1/10 for his role in “Crazy Heart.” George Clooney is the best underdog for Best Actor at 11/1 for “Up in the Air.” Also on the board for Best Actor at 14/1 are Jeremy Renner for “The Hurt Locker” and Morgan Freeman 12/1 for “Invictus.” Colin Firth rounds out the field at 13/1 for his role in “A Single Man.”
Best Actress may be a bit more competitive as Sandra Bullock is the favorite at 4/11 for her role in “The Blind Side.” The second choice is Meryl Streep at 9/4 for her role in “Julie and Julia.” Carey Mulligan makes for a decent value play at 10/1 for her role in “An Education.” Another decent underdog play would be Gabourey Sidibe for her role in “Precious” at 17/2. The longshot in Oscars odds is Helen Mirren at 40/1 for her role in “The Last Station.”
Best Director looks like a two man race between James Cameron at 3/1 for “Avatar” and the overwhelming favorite, Kathryn Bigelow, for “The Hurt Locker” at 1/5. Quentin Tarantino is at 18/1 for “Inglourious Basterds” while Jason Reitman is at 50/1 for “Up in the Air.” The longshot in Oscar odds is Lee Daniels for “Precious” at 60/1.
Who is the better writer/director: Paul Thomas Anderson or Quentin Tarantino?
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010Personally, I think these two guys are two of our finest filmmakers working.

Best Director Oscar Odds – Bigelow Vs Cameron
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010So far we have provided 2010 Oscars odds for best picture, best actor and best actress in a motion picture. In this Oscar preview, we will discuss the odds for best director in a motion picture. You might remember such movies as Point Break, Blue Steel or K-19: The Widowmaker but what you probably didn’t know is that Kathryn Bigelow was behind the camera directing.
Bigelow has had numerous nominations for her work but the accolades she has received for the Iraq war drama. “The Hurt Locker,” have made her the overwhelming betting favorite at -500 to win best director in 2010 Oscar odds. There is a bit of controversy heading into the 82nd annual awards show as it has been reported that Bigelow’s producer, Nicolas Chartier has been banned from the Oscars after urging Academy members not to vote for their closest competitor, James Cameron, in the best director category.
Bigelow is also the ex-wife of Cameron who has been quoted as saying that he hopes she wins as best director and that he wins for best picture. Cameron has received critical acclaim for such films as the Terminator series and Titanic but this year, he has been nominated for his science fiction epic “Avatar” and is the second betting choice in 2010 Oscar odds at +300. The third choice in betting odds to win best director at the Oscars needs no introduction but we will any way.
Quentin Tarantino has long been known for his brash style of directing for such movies as The Kill Bill series or Pulp Fiction and keeps the tradition alive with his portrayal of Nazi-occupied France during World War II in the movie “Inglorius Basterds” starring Brad Pitt. Tarantino is +2500 in 2010 Oscar odds to win best director. Jason Reitman, who is best known for “Thank You for Smoking” and “Juno” has been nominated as best director for “Up in the Air” at +5000. Rounding out the nominees is Lee Daniels +7000, who is better known for producing Monster’s Ball but has received the best directing nominee this year for “Precious”.
