Hills fancy the ship, the Dame and the Joker

Betting on the Oscars is big business - so if you've got any tips, let us know! Titanic is as short as 1-2 for best picture, so the best actor categories are more interesting. Jack Nicholson's favourite at 8-11, with 100-30 Robert Duvall, 7-2 Peter Fonda, 8-1 Matt Damon and 12-1 Dustin Hoffman. For the women they go 4-5 Helena Bonham Carter, Judi Dench at 6-4, Helen Hunt at 8-1, Julie Christie at 9-1 and Kate Winslet at 14-1. Hard to see past the favourites, but Helen Hunt might be worth a punt. I'm turning into John McCruick...
