Take That to win an Oscar?

Take That have been placed as hot favourites to walk away with an Oscar for their upcoming soundtrack for movie Stardust.

The foursome, who reunited last year after a ten year break, penned and recorded the title track for the film starring Sienna Miller with the producer of their album Beautiful World.

Now betting agents William Hill have placed the track down at 3/1 as favourite for the Best Original Song gong.

A spokesperson for William Hill said: "With Take That's current track record, it's sure to sell bucketloads. If the movie lives up to expectations, a combination of Take That and a big blockbuster could prove irresistible come Oscar time."
