    What books have Academy Award Props? Dicaprio will win Oscar for Best Actor this year

    Dicaprio is long overdue to get this award. I am a big fan of films and the Oscars and a couple people have been getting robbed for the past decade. The committee will eat this up, a political film directed by Eastwood. No doubt this will be Dicaprio's first Oscar win. Would like to know who would offer these props.

    How many nominations does he have? thanks.

    He's one of the best actors of this generation. Why do you think Scorcese only works with Dicaprio? It used to be Deniro. Now its Leo.

    i think only the uk books offer props on best actor right now. looks like dicaprio is 2nd favorite behind clooney with 7/4 odds. if you've got a sportinteraction account, they have a best picture prop.

    Unless you know something other people don't you'd be betting on Dicaprio blind. Right now the two front-runners for Best Picture are the Descendents and the Artist. Both leading actors Clooney and Dujardin are virtual locks for nominations. There are other strong contenders too and without the big Oscar movies in theaters yet it's too early to say. Bodog is a great place for early wagers once they are put up, but wait for the dust to settle a bit before you take make your picks. There will still be great value on the board long in advance..

    I like his odds for J. Edgar. Obv haven't seen the movie yet, but the reviews are great and the trailer looks sick.

    It helps have Eastwood in your corner...look what it did for Swank

    If you want to make money Oscar night take The Artist to win every category nominated. It's flying under the radar but the kinda film that will win

    This recommendation is only 2-3 months too late.
