Irish film Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty is almost guaranteed to take home the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film with a price as short as 1/20 with Boylesports.

The Irish momentum doesn’t stop there as The Secret of Kells is up for a gong in the Best Animated Feature Film category. The Irish animation has been installed at 33/1 to scoop the award, with Up looking like a cert at 1/2.

Former couple Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron will go head-to-head for Best Director. Originally, Avatar director James Cameron was the 5/6 favourite but he has drifted out to 3/1. His former wife has now stolen the limelight with Hurt locker and is 1/5 to win the gold.

“It is great to see Ireland getting so much recognition in this year’s Oscar and with an award almost guaranteed, it will certainly be a night to celebrate”, commented Nicola McGeady, Boylesports Spokesperson.

“The Battle of the exes will be the biggest talking point of the night and I hope Kathryn becomes the first woman to win the Best Director award”, she continued.
