Israeli blogger taking bets

Wanna make book on the Oscars and maybe score some dough? Israeli film blogger Yair Raveh, master of a Hebrew-language site called Cinemascope, has a global bilingual Oscar pool up and running, for those who like to place bets from wherever. Raveh claims he's the only Oscar forecaster who's willing to put up cash on (no lie) betting Martin Scorsese is going to lose the directing award on Sunday.

If that happens it would be hella shocking. I think the audience would seriously get a case of the melting-face the nazis got in Raiders of the Los Ark.

I hope Scorcese does lose on Sunday. "The Departed" is not well directed. I can think of at least two better candidates this year: Alfonso Cuaron and Guillermo Del Toro.
