LAS VEGAS (AP) — Oddsmakers in Las Vegas NV state “12 Years a Slave” has the best shot at winning top honors during the Academy Awards in March.

Odds let go Thursday by Johnny Avello of the Wynn Las Vegas NV sports book list the slavery-era drama as a 2-5 favorite to win an Oscar for best picture. Avello says “Gravity” director Alfonso Cuaron is a 2-3 favorite to win for best director.

Benjamin Eckstein of America’s Line is moreover making “12 Years a Slave” a strong favorite for best picture. He says Cate Blanchett & Chiwetel Ejiofor are the best bets in the top acting categories.

The odds are just for fun, as NV doesn’t allow wagering on the contest.

Nominations for the 86th annual yearly Oscars were formally announced Thursday. The awards will be given March 2.
