Any thrill-seeker can slap down a ten spot for Ang Lee and watch as he reaps an entire dollar in profit, but it takes someone with a real thirst for gambling to bet that Philip Seymour Hoffman is going weep into the balled-up fist insufficiently concealing the strength of his overwhelming emotions. Betting site Paddy Power is offering some side bets for those bored with the constraints of their Oscar pool:

Best Male actor to cry during his acceptance speech at the 2006 Oscars: 10 - 1


Any actor to trip and fall on stage at the 2006 Oscars: 10 - 1

Any major acting acceptance speech at the 2006 Oscars to beat the record for the longest Oscar acceptance speech**: 20 - 1
**Longest Acceptance speech must be over 5mins & 30secs, applies to best actor/actress/best supporting actor/actress categories only.

Any actress to walk on stage with her dress tucked into her knickers at the 2006 Oscars: 100 - 1

Best Actress to walk on stage with toilet roll stuck to her shoe at the 2006 Oscars: 100 - 1

Actually, they might want to adjust their odds on the crying thing, considering that prohibitive Best Actor favorite Hoffman has already revealed to David Letterman that if he wins, he's going to bark like a dog for the full duration of his speech. They could possibly run another line on the over/under for how long it takes for two spokesmodels to drag Hoffman's body off the stage should the yelping exceed his alloted 60 seconds, forcing producer Gil Cates to order his balcony snipers to fire and cut short a still-promising career.
