BetCRIS.com Posts Odds on 2008 Academy Awards
January 24, New York ? The 2008 Academy Awards, set to air February 24th, are already causing quite the buzz with its selections and, more importantly, its rejections.
In the past, it seemed as though the Oscars have modeled their selections after the Golden Globes, but the 80th ceremony is something of the contrary. Hollywood Hotshots such as Keira Knightley was snubbed for Atonement, Tim Burton for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Sean Penn for Into the Wild.
With opinions at a high for the Academy?s right and wrong nominee admissions, the question of who is walking away with the little, gold statue remains. BetCRIS.com posted the following odds on the 2008 Academy Awards.
