The movie is leading the betting at 8/13 and Michel Hazanvicius is also even money to be awarded the Best Director award. His leading man Jean Dujardin is the 2/1 second favourite to be crowned best actor.
Meryl Streep is even money to pick up her third Oscar for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher with Michelle Williams drifting out to 9/4 (from 2/1).
Early favourite George Clooney is odds-on at 5/6 to claim the Best Actor gong but is the 25/1 outsider to win Best Director for The Ideas Of March.
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes told Bettingpro:
"It's hard to see past the really big names. This time last year The King's Speech was odds-on and swept up at the ceremony and it looks like the Artist will do the same."
