Bookies Decide Helen Mirren Will Win Oscar

They're already paying out on Queen star...

Helen Mirren is such a certainty to win Best Actress at this weekend's Oscars that bookies have already started paying out winnings.

William Hill has closed their book on Dame Helen Mirren to win best actress for her role as the Queen, in the film of the same name.

It is the first time that this has happened in over 20 years of Oscar betting, reports ITV.

Up against Meryl Streep for The Devil Wears Prada, Helen is boosted by her recent win at the Baftas in London.

The ceremony takes place this Sunday; we'll all have the winners here as soon as they're announced!
