Topic: 2024 Oscar Awards bets and discussions - page 10. (Read 2120 times)

I had a similar speculation before because it is quite certain that the nuclear war storyline will be hyped on social media and mainstream news media. However, if you look at the winners for the last 2 years, the favorites before the official nominations were announced never won the Oscar. The movies that won were emotional movies about family, love and making the world a better world.

What are these emotional and inspirational movies? I honesly have not watched much movies this year.

In any case, the nuclear war storyline is only beginning.



Vladimir Putin has ramped up his nuclear rhetoric, saying his country had successfully tested the nuclear-powered, nuclear-capable Burevestnik strategic cruise missile, as he suggested Russia could resume nuclear testing for the first time in more than three decades.

I heard a lot of positive reviews related to this movie, but I am not sure whether it has the calibre to overtake the hype created by Oppenheimer. The combination of Martin Scorsese-Leonardo DiCaprio- Robert De Niro looks tempting, but it may not be enough to overcome the challenge from Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy in the form of Oppenheimer. I would still say that given the odds, it looks extremely attractive to make a bet in favor of Oppenheimer. IMO, the realistic odds should be somewhere in the range of 1.80-2.00.

All in for; My pick for the Oscar's Best Picture is "Killers of The Flower Moon," directed by (Best Director) Martin Scorsese with Leonardo DiCaprio winning Best Actor and Lily Gladstone for the Best Actress award! Eventhough Killers of The Flower Moon is not currently showing in theaters the trailer says it all, building excitement and anticipation for its Oscar worthy performance!

In my opinion, the first 3 categories will go to the most favorite and strong contender, none other than the excellence from the film "Oppenheimer." Coming from one of the most acclaimed directors and one of the most talented actors working today. This will be the first time for Nolan if he wins.

But, of course, the actual results can often be surprising.

@chaser15. I am quite certain there are no insiders who know who will win this early in the Oscars race hehehe. Also, there are no judges in the Oscar awards. The nominees and the winners are voted by the members of the Academy of arts and motion pictures sciences which has more than 10,000 members including actors, actresses, directors, producers, screenwriters, cameramen, designers and other ordinary people who work in the movie industry. There might be some bribery and politics, however hehehehe. However, knowing who the winners will be? This is very difficult. Some insiders might have information only after nominations voting on January which might also go to the oddsmakers.

@edmundduke. On Oppenheimer, it might not win. The Oscars voters have voted on emotional and inspirational movies for best picture on 2022 and 2023 with Coda and Everything Everywhere. They might do this again hehe.

On Barbie, agreed, it might be nominated for best costume and production design hehe. I have not seen the movie.

I'm just wondering, and it's always on my head for long.

I am sure there are already people behind the scene who knows what will be the result, as of course some of them are part of the judging panel and for sure might leak any information within their circle of friends. Is there a possibility that some of them, even at a low chance, are enthusiasts of placing a bet on this event and they will take advantage of that information?

Anyways, back to the topic, I think too that Oppenheimer likely has a chance to grab that Best Picture Award but I think Killers of the Flower Moon is also a good movie or maybe I'm just biased because I really like the crime drama film genre (I wasn't able to watch it yet). As for the Best Director, it's usually the Best Picture Awardee that likely gets the Best Director award.

I think Oppenheimer will most likely go home with a few. It seemed to be generally praised by critics and movie goers so it will be a solid bet. It would be so funny if Barbie won aswell, not because it is good, but just to be a sign of times lol
I think The Color Purple will win something aswell, i have no clue what it will be, but im pretty sure it will get something given to it.

@noormcs5. Where to bet on the Oscar awards? It is in your signature hehehe. The sportsbook I checked only has the odds for best director and the best movie categories. In your sportsbook it also has the categories for the best actress and best actor which I will copy and add later.

In case what is everyone's favorite picks?

@Rikaflip. Oppenheimer is the favorite! This is what I have speculated when we were discussing movies during the last Oscar awards hehehe. Will Christopher Nolan win his first oscar? There is a conspiracy theory that the academy hates him hehehe. Also, Oppenheimer was a good movie, however, good for watching at home only.

More important thing, where can we bet on the 2024 Oscars award?
On which sites do you prefer to bet as i don't think the majority of the sports betting site will list these bets.

The most probable date for the Oscar award is 10th March 2024 while the submission date of different categories entries will be somewhere around the middle or end of November this year.

These are the odds offered by the sportsbooks. These movies, directors and later actresses, actors and other categories added are not yet official from the Academy of motion picture arts and sciences. However, if you are a movie expert or a couch potato, you might already know which of these directors and movies has a chance to win hehehe. Share your knowledge!
