I'm not sure if The Artist is going to sweep the boards, seems all the rage at the moment with the film luvvies. I have little idea of how the votes go in the Oscars but would be punting small stakes on Midnight In Paris if this were to go to an outsider.

Re: Best Director

Michel Hazanavicius now as low as 1.10. You gotta feel for Scorsese who keeps getting one too good for him every year it seems! Maybe he might get the sympathy vote but as high as 8.00 with Ladbrokes now, and when they are top priced, it's not usually a good sign.
