2005 Academy Awards - Oscars - Latest Odds

Its the awards season again and the latest Oscar nominations have just been announced. This year they're dominated by 3 movies: 'The Aviator', 'Million Dollar Baby' and 'Finding Neverland. I've seen all 3 and both The Aviator and Finding Neverland are worthy contenders (although the latter probably won't win much/if anything)

I think this is the year for Scorsese. He's never won the best director oscar and I wasn't expecting much in The Aviator, but was thankfully proved wrong - its excellent. However, Hollywood favourite Clint Eastwood did a fine job directing the female boxing movie Million Dollar Baby (he just did an awful job acting in it)

The acting honours seem fairly straightforward with Jamie Foxx being the odds on favourite for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the biopic 'Ray' whilst Hilary Swank was superb in 'million dollar baby'

The more interesting catagory (especially for British interest) will be for Best Supporting Actor which sees Clive Owen nominated for 'Closer'
