12 Years A Slave and its star Chiwetel Ejiofor are the odds on favorites from America’s Line to take home the Best Picture and Best Actor Academy Awards.
The betting line is also betting on director Steve McQueen’s slavery drama’s lead, Chiwetel Ejiofor in a slight lead for the Best Actor statuette over closest rival Dallas Buyers Club star Matthew McConaughey.
Even the most hardcore gamblers are likely to avoid betting against Cate Blanchett for Best Actress for Blue Jasmine. This Australian bombshell is a one is to five favourite, easily surpassing Sandra Bullock and her five is to one line for her role in Gravity.
