It has 0.0% chance of winning. Just because you enjoyed a movie does not mean it meets the Academy's qualifications for Best Picture.

HOW DID HE KNOW????

Goat Milk · 02-10-20, 03:12 AM

Lmao damn

Buried

Good call

Parasite was good but honestly can't see how it's the best film of the year

Gravity and Moonlight won though, so it is what it is

great call Canuck

Great call Canuck. I elevated my odds from 0% to "it could possibly win" once I saw it climb all the way to +200, but I'm still really surprised it won. There are a lot of glaring flaws in that movie, particularly when it comes to lazy writing, and there's really no precedent for a movie with that tone winning the big one, let alone obviously a foreign film. But again this was a precedent-breaker, like you said. Good call.

Hadn't seen this thread. Did see Parasite awhile ago on a whim, and loved it. Very glad it won.

Great call!

The point isn't whether it was a good movie or not, The point is Chargers and Biggie were buried. Because Canuck Simply picked the winner. You don't have to love buddy hield....To have the Kings cover.

Wouldn't say I was "buried." I didn't bet Best Picture. I had Parasite to win Original Screenplay and Little Women to win Adapted Screenplay and profited on those bets. I also said Bong would win Best Director in this same thread. Canuck made a prediction that I disagreed with, he ended up being right, and I acknowledged it.

I also took little women for adapted screenplay. Looked like +180 odds on a coinflip to me. I only took parasite bc I thought Mendes is a petty narcissist. Only movie I saw this yr was the Irishman and it was a huge letdown. The awards is usually not about the best or most deserving anyway

Man, That Parasite movie cleaned up! Nice call Canuck!
