We will have our live thread for the Golden Globes tonight, but do you know the odds on each of the nominees? You could win big if your favorite nominees win big. From The LA Times:
In Sunday’s Golden Globes, 12 Years a Slave looks to be the clear favorite (1-4) among dramas. Meanwhile, American Hustle (1-5) appears to be an easy pick over The Wolf of Wall Street (4-1). Inside Llewyn Davis is the longshot at 30-1…
Cate Blanchett is a 1-8 favorite to win lead actress for Blue Jasmine (fractional bets less than 1 generally indicate a heavy fave). Chiwetel Ejiofor of 12 Years a Slave is the top pick to win the lead actor award at 10-11. Robert Redford is second, at 9-4, for All Is Lost.
In the musical-comedy category, The Wolf of Wall Street’s Leonardo DiCaprio (5-7) and Nebraska’s Bruce Dern (5-4) are the favorites among the men; American Hustle’s Amy Adams and August: Osage County’s Meryl Streep are tied at 7-5 atop the actress category.
In TV dramas, Breaking Bad is a 2-5 favorite over House of Cards (7-4).
The night’s surest bet, according to Bovada, is Frozen, which at 1-15 tops the animated features, ahead of Despicable Me 2 at 5-1 and The Croods at 20-1.
For those not particularly gambling-literate, 1-5 odds would pay 20 cents on a dollar bet. Odds of 4-1 would pay $4.
