The Oscars are on Sunday, and so we’re giving you double the Oscar betting odds fun, you lucky dogs. And today we’re turning our eyes upon the nominees for the Best Film Oscar.

This is the big one. Because, at the end of the day, nobody really gives a dirty squat about the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. The only thing that anybody cares about is the Best Film Oscar - and what a range of movies have been nominated this year. Homosexuals, racists, fans of the conflict in the Middle East, weird little writers and overbearing governments are all catered for in this year’s Best Film Oscar batch. And you’d do a lot worse than to put a sodding great bet on the outcome.

So here are the Best Film Oscar betting odds for Capote, Crash and Munich, with help from SportingOdds.com…

Capote - Critics are raving about Capote, and especially the central
performance by Phillip Seymour Hoffman. If the Oscar nominations are to
be believed, Capote is one of the five best films of the last year. But
is it? We get the feeling that the average man on the street wouldn’t
even know who Truman Capote was, let alone want to go and see a film
about a funny little man with a weird voice falling in love with a
murderer. And doesn’t the public’s voice count for anything these days?
Well, no. If it did, then Big Momma’s House 2 would probably win the
Best Film Oscar. Either way, Capote doesn’t really stand a chance.
Current Best Film Oscar betting odds - 25/1

Crash - Crash has an incredible pedigree. It was written and
directed by the man who wrote the script for the ultra-miserable
Million Dollar Baby and stars just about every single actor and actress
that has ever lived. It’s all about - unless we’re wrong - Sandra
Bullock being racist to Ludacris until Matt Dillon shoots everyone. OK,
we haven’t seen Crash. But it’s won a bunch of awards, and that means
it has to be good, right? Possibly stands a better chance of winning
than these odds suggest. Current Best Film Oscar betting odds - 9/2

Munich - When Steven Spielberg makes a film, you just know it’ll be
serious and important and full of important messages about how we
should live our lives. Either that, or it’ll be full of Tom Cruise
running away from some aliens. Fortunately, Munich falls into the first
category. And it’s a good film, too - at least until the penultimate
scene, where things become so unbearably overwrought that it may as
well have been replaced with a burning baby impaled on a fencepost
while a choir of devils sing a song called War Is Bad and point at the
audience in a menacing way. Will Munich win the Best Film Oscar?
Probably not this year. Current Best Film Oscar betting odds - 16/1

That’s all for today - tomorrow we’ll be looking at the betting odds
