With the 2011 Oscars going on tonight, I decided to check over all the sportsbooks endorsed by Pregame Action and break down who offered the best betting odds for Best Picture. For those who plan on betting tonight, I can never stress enough on getting the best number possible and maximize your profits. For example, if you plan on betting on favored "The King's Speech" you would would be laying -400 at sportsinteraction, -500 at Bookmaker, -700 at BetUS, -450 at Bodog, -700 at JustBET and -600 at Sportsbook.com. 

So at the current time here are the top numbers out there:

2011 Oscars Best Picture Odds:

The King's Speech -400 (sportsinteraction)
The Social Network +375 (Bodog)
Black Swan +2500 (BetUS)
True Grit +3000 (BetUS)
The Fighter +5000 (sportsinteraction)
Inception +4000 ((Sportsbook.com, BetUS, JustBET)
Toy Story 3 +8000 (BetUS)
127 Hours +10000 (BetUS, sportsinteraction)
Winter's Bone +10000 (sportsinteraction)
The Kids Are All Right +10000 (sportsinteraction)

I would suggest checking out the discussion going on in the Pregame Community where some of the top posters are discussing their selections for tonight in the thread Handicapping the Academy Awards with Da Guru and Tara. In trying to get an idea of who the "Hollywood Experts" liked, here is what I found:

Los Angeles Times: The King's Speech 
Associated Press: David Germain gives the nod to "The King's Speech"  while Christy Lemire makes a case of "The Social Network"
Mike Tyson: Avatar (not kidding)

Personally, I tossed $100.00 for fun on "The Social Network". Since the whole world is on Facebook, how do you not think they have a small chance for the upset?
