Las Vegas oddsmaker Ben Eckstein says there is one sure bet at the Academy Awards this year – Leonardo DiCaprio will take home the best actor statuette for his performance as a fur trapper bent on revenge in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s film The Revenant. ‘There’s really no reason to even mention the other guys,’ Eckstein says of DiCaprio’s widely predicted first Oscar win. ‘DiCaprio is now 1: 50 so you would have to put up $50 to win back one stinking dollar.
