Decent bets as of right now;

Bening +700/800
Fincher -150/160
King's Speech Original Score +200ish
AinW Best Costume +100ish

Supporting categories think Bale will win and personally not bothering with Rush. Leo still likely to win but no way a lock, taking shots with Adams and Bonham-Carter there.

Best Film is uninteresting to me at this point. King's Speech the rightful large favorite with only Social Network the outside choice.

I know the Oscars are in love with The King's Speech, but I don't think Rush has a shot against Bale in Supporting Actor. Free money if I've ever seen it. Bale's performance was outstanding.

Yep I agree! And Bale won Golden Globe and SAG awards, and many other precursor awards!

Will disagree....

Got to see the Kings Speech last night. Not My type of Movie, but it was actually Good.

Not taking anything away from Bale.... But like Judge said..... Live Dog in Rush
and i see value there..... and because I believe that the Kings Speech will run away with a few Awards.

Adapted Screenplay is locked in.
Director likely.
Film Editing strong fav.
Original score almost 50/50
Couple other categories its nominated but serious longshots in those.
