Paddy Power have today shortened the odds on Michel Hazanavicius’ ‘The Artist’ claiming this years Oscar for Best Picture to 4/11 following last nights Golden Globe Awards. The silent French romance film is now the firm favourite for the gong with comedy-drama ‘The Descendants’ and Steven Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’ its closest rivals at 4/1 and 9/1 respectively.
‘The Artist’ is also favoured to come out on top in the Best Director category with Michael Hazanavicius available at 8/11. Martin Scorsese (Hugo) leads the chasing pack at 5/2 with Alexander Payne (The Descendants) and Steven Spielberg (War Horse) available at 11/2 and 7/1.
Elsewhere, George Clooney is the 8/15 favourite in the Best Actor category for his role as Matt King in ‘The Descendants’, while Meryl Streep is the 4/9 favourite to claim the Best Actress prize for her turn as Margaret Thatcher in ‘The Iron Lady’.
Paddy Power said: “With the Golden Globes now done and dusted all the attention will turn to the Oscars. Right now there’s a clear favourite in every category but it wouldn’t be an Oscar night without a few surprises!”
