adding Renee Zellweger -165 for best supporting actress. I saw Cold Mountain and I'll tell you, for the first couple of seconds she appeared on the screen I couldn't even tell it was her. It did eventally become obvious it was her, and it wasn't a flawless performance, but, -165 isn't a bad price for what many consider a lock even after her victory just last year.
Who else has lines up for this show?
Unfortunately, OLY cut to $200 limits with no doubling up after a line change. Grrr. I hope they go back up to $500 for the Oscar props.
The best value on the board was Finding Nemo when it opened at +1000. Lost may very well win, but 10-1 on a 40% chance was excellent.
I have thoughts on the other stuff, but it's going to have to wait until I re-up there.

Royler, not sure what they mean by "$200 Limits with 1 bet per week on a contestand maximum," but I think they mean if you wait a week you can bet again. I have talked to their customer service before about limits, and they told me any time the computer takes your bet then its a valid wager, so you can give it a try I'd say. And, Bodog has lines up for the Golden Globes and Grammies as well, and if you like some dogs I suspect you'll find good value there.
Oren,
Normally at OLY, you can hit a prop again as soon as the line moves. It's an accepted way of getting around the limit.
I believe this new rule means you can no longer do that, and you can't hit the line again for a week. That especially sucks considering the new limit.
Oh, well. Such is life.

Toy Story 2 may have won but Shrek didn't.
Gee, I've put a heck of a load on Lost In Translation winning (£200 at 11/10 at Victor Chandler earlier on in the month) but there could easily be an upset from 'Big Fish' or the film about little fish ('Finding Nemo').
May the best man win? Screw you! I want to win my fooking money!
....seriously, (*COUGH*) best of luck though.

Red,
Ballsy strategy. By playing all favorites, your winning % needs to be way up there.
I don't think Keaton will win: Johannson went from +800 to +300, and the Globes liked her enough to nominate her twice.
Penn also seems to have little chance - he's not even showing up for the show tonight.
Depp and Murray are neck-and-neck. Why play the huge favorite?
I think the "Arrested Development" prop is a good one. "Seabiscuit" has no chance in hell.
Hope it works out for us.

Well done, red! 6-out-of-8! Love it!
This year's GGs in retrospect were more or less predictable than last year's Emmys.
Me? I surprisingly got only 2-out-of-5 (for money I picked Cold Mountain (!!) over RotK, Lost in Translation, Scarlett Johansson over Diane Keaton, Nip/Tuck over 24 and Anthony LaPaglia).
....I fooking should have been more daring and went with The Office and Ricky Gervais though (fook those line movements!
).
The Oscars might be RotK heavy come Tuesday but if it's anything like last year, I'm staying the fook away.
The Grammys! The Razzies! The Oscars! Fooking 'ell!
