The Artist
The Artist looks an absolute certainty for the Best Film Oscar and William Hill are now 1/9 from an original 3/1 that it wins the coveted award.
The Best Actress award is far from a foregone conclusion and perhaps surprisingly, Meryl Streep finds herself the 10/11 second favourite behind Viola Davis who is the 5/6 favourite.
The Best Actor Oscar is also a very close call with Hills unable to split George Clooney & Jean Dujardin both of whom are offered at 10/11.
"The Artist looks like the certainty of the award season but the latest odds suggest that former favourites Meryl Streep & Jean Dujardin might miss out on the big one!" said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.
