She is an amazing actress.  Be nice to see her win and at those odds, worth a bet on it too.

Perhaps it's time for Leonardo DiCaprio to finally win. :)

Pffff... Matthew McConaughey! He shouldn't have won. :) but that's my humble opinion.

Pffff... Matthew McConaughey! He shouldn't have won. :) but that's my humble opinion.

I don't know what to say, I haven't watched the movie yet.

Pffff... Matthew McConaughey! He shouldn't have won. :) but that's my humble opinion.

Not a huge fan of Matthew, until the True Detective that is (I recommend this Show to everyone).

I feel a bit sorry for Leo though.

On the bright side, I am betting next year the Leo won't get the award, it seems like a sure bet :)

Wow, I am quite surprised to see Romania so high on the favourites list! Our song was chosen by the public last weekend and I don't think it has a chance to win the contest. But who knows?

Here it is:

[flash=500,350]

On the bright side, I am betting next year the Leo won't get the award, it seems like a sure bet :)

Perhaps it's a good thing. He could end up in a fantastic company:

Richard Burton (7 nominations, 0 wins)

Peter O'Toole (8 nominations, 0 wins)

Alfred Hitchcock (5 nominations, 0 wins) or

Stanley Kubrick (4 nominations, 0 wins).

There are many more amazing actors and actresses who have never won an Oscar. :)

I find Eurovision entertaining. Serbia won't take part this year.

I really like it Johnny.  It's catchy and got a great beat once it hits the chorus.

Who do you think deserves to win?

Murray has no chance if he keeps playing like he currently does. I think everything depends on the football World Cup, if England do well there then a football player might get it. Ronnie O'Sullivan might be a good bet.

I agree with Johnny. I think that Ronnie O'Sullivan deserves to win, but if Murray manages to get his form back, he will easily win this. I'm sure he's extremely popular in the UK.

But murray won last year, i dont think there has been a repeated winner in the sports personality award in its history, but i didnt do a search to find out if that is the case, but to be honest i do agree that Ronnie O'Sullivan does deserve to win this award, he is truly deserving of it. but it will probably be someone who is under the radar this year :P

Not sure if Murray has a chance this year, and I would put my money on Ronnie. The man is simply a legend!

Austria (aka the bearded lady) won the contest! Quite a surprising result if you ask me, the song doesn't sound like anything special but I guess all the hype around the singer made them win.

[flash=500,350]

I don't know whether the winner is surprising. Everyone were talking about her; and after the semi-final night it was quite expected. I agree about the song; it's average at best.

I really ddn't think much of the winning song at all  -  guess all the hype did the trick.  I liked the Netherlands one the best.

I see Austria weren't even in teh betting!

Anyone watching Big Brother (UK)?  Who do you think will win?

Here are the odds on outrght winner at Wiliam Hill

2/1  Chris

Aww what a shame.  So that was that then.  :(

Paddy power was taking bets on which simpsons character was going to be killed off at the start of the new season (1st episode). The episode is titled *clown in the dumps* so chances are it will either be Krusty the clown or someone related or close to him. Unfortunatly when i tried to get onto the betting page earlier it said it was unavailable!

This years X factor is underway and William Hill are showing the folowing odds for outright winner:

11/8  Andrea Faustini

4/1    Ben Haenow

I'd put my money on Paul Akister; he has an amazing voice and I really want him to win.  Check him out singing Marvin Gaye's

I agree with you Blue, Vikesh's voice is special, Stevie's is just very good.

Vikesh does have a pretty amazing voice.

To me, Stevie's voice is shaky and too high for my liking, nothing original there.

The voice winner was Stevie McCrorie - Team Ricky 13/8.

He was good but not great imho.

I used to watch all those talent shows, but I can't remember if my favorite contestant has ever won. So, I stopped. :)

Hi guys! Does anyone have a favorite?

Interesting topic :D The Revenant is my number 1,made the biggest impression on me :)

I will be surprised if Leo doesn't win it this year. I agree with the odds here.

Usually the bookies have their sources and I would be surprised if Leo don't win this time because the bookies are asking the members of the Academy how they had voted if I understand it correctly and the odds shows the aswer they had got or some other sources. I tried to bet against the bookies some years ago and failed that much LOL
