No - Slumdog has already been named best picture by all the separate actors/directors/writers guilds - as these are the same people that vote in the Oscars they're not going to change their mind now.

any value about pitt to win best actor at 33/1?

No - I think Benjamin Button will be the big loser of the night - should get a couple of technical awards but no biggies.

Voting still going on so be a good coup if they already got list!!


Slumdog is a bet imo, can't lose, nearly as good as the Clinton/NewYork Obama/Illonois coup

Slumdog for best screenplay at 4/9 is a bit better value

the leak, if it had been genuine, would have come from the initial vote that they take the nominations from. quite a few people at price waterhouse would have access to that info and I'd imagine most people's first votes and their final votes would be the same so any genuine leak would be close to 100% accurate except in the closest run categories

yeah, good call. apart from a brief period in the late '80s the best picture winner (which we've got to assume will be slumdog) almost always takes whichever one of the two screenplay awards it's up for

wow, just wow. I was just looking through the list of past winners and I was somehow completely unaware that million dollar baby won best picture. how the fuck did this happen? it's one of the worst films I've ever seen, definitely in my top 10 of dross

the good will hunting year was one of the exceptions as titanic was best picture that year but had essentially no story so gwh and la confidential took the 2 screenplay awards. titanic didn't even get a screenplay nomination

this year should be different as slumdog has a proper story

She's up again for the wrestler

I actually liked that film too lol but its not your typical serious oscar role!!! I actually dont see why comedies are never mentioned at the Oscars as some of the best acting performances are from those roles
