The online stakes for Oscar winners have narrowed so much that punters may have to part with $6 to win just $1 if Jeff Bridges takes out Best Actor for Crazy Heart.

The ABC in Australia reports George Clooney could be an upset, though, for his turn in Up In The Air with current odds set at 13-1. Slightly better. Then there is Jeremy Renner for The Hurt Locker at 28-1.

While the Best Actor odds may be easy to understand, it is difficult to imagine how anyone could predict the outcome for Best Picture this Sunday at the 82nd Academy Awards.

Both hot contenders, The Hurt Locker and Avatar, are neck-and-neck at nine nominations each. Their respective directors, Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron, even once shared the same bed.
