Poll: Will McCarthy Win an Oscar?
The bookmakers in Vegas say no, but what do they know?
Plainfield native Melissa McCarthy will learn Sunday night if her scene-stealing role in "Bridesmaids" will earn her Oscar gold.
The folks in Las Vegas say the odds aren't with her. Most are putting her chances at about 30-1, with most of the money on Octavia Spencer and her role in "The Help."
