Oscars 2013: Place your bets on the 9 Best Picture nominees
Raja Sen in Mumbai
With a little over a week to go for the 85th Annual Academy Awards, I thought it'd be fun to put together a formbook of the 9 films in the running for the biggest award of all.
This isn't based on how good the films are (though the accompanying text should indeed make my opinion on each contender unambiguously clear) but on how good their chances look to lift the Best Picture trophy.
Now, who's up for an Oscar wager?
80/1 Les Miserables
No, I'm not just saying it because I loathed Tom Hooper's closeup-heavy film.
Hooper isn't nominated for Best Director, the film has earned very mixed reviews (which means some real stinkers) and, most vitally, Hooper's The King's Speech robbed The Social Network of this Oscar a couple of years ago.
Nope, this one's not happening.
