[kickserv]

the easiest pick...hands down lock of the century:

Charlize Theron - Monster


odds on her should be like -9000000000 she'll win for sure. Direct quote from Roger Ebert "if she doesn't win, then everyone that has ever won an Academy Award should just throw it away"

that pretty much sums it up.........

 

[kickserv]

I see her odds are -300 at Olympic.......sure the odds will be -700 by the day of the rewards


and how about Master and Commander Far Side of the World at odds of +3000............wow Not a bad price at all
