Note: We'll be counting down to Oscar night with a daily look at the major awards up for grabs on Sunday. Today, we get started with:
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
And the nominees are: Josh Brolin in Milk, Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder, Philip Seymour Hoffman in Doubt, Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, Michael Shannon in Revolutionary Road
Vegas odds: Ledger is currently listed as 0-1, which seems like a scam to me. (How can I win zero on a bet of a dollar? This is why gambling is a dead end, kids.) The rest of the field is all 20-1 shots or worse.
