    Irishman isn’t going to win. Academy isn’t going to give Netflix the biggest award considering how they’re trying to shake up the motion picture industry.

    No nobody with a clue thought that. Roma while beautifully directed was boring. Green Book was the obvious choice.

    Well they weren't the favorite to win best picture on nobody
    I'm not saying I thought it would win, I had no idea why it was even the favorite in the first place.

    Here's a little storyline on Roma last year

    Novelty betting aside, perhaps the biggest question from this year’s Oscars — other than who is actually hosting it — is whether Roma will be the first movie in a foreign language to win Best Picture, and if it does, will it also take Best Foreign Language film?
    Bookmakers have the Golden Lion-winning movie by director Alfonso Cuarón (not Swedish, we checked it out) as a firm favorite for Best Picture across the board. That means it’s very likely to make Oscars history.

    Best picture is wide open for the taking. Any decent dog is a better bet than the favorites.

    Weird how differently the golden globes are voted than the Oscars and yet Oscar winners usually need golden globe support.

    Anyone who actually follows this can make some great value bets on the Oscars every yr immediately following the golden globes

    Oscars been weak for many years

    Got films like Moonlight winning best picture and guys like Chris Nolan having zero oscars to his name despite writing and directing some of the most influential films in cinema history

    Could Parasite win it? Looks like 1917 is the winner imo.

    Are there odds on Trump tweeting congratulations to the country of China or Japan for winning the Oscars with parasite?
