@Saint-loup. There is no winner in our bet. Kindly return the coins to bc1q2cxuaksp48qmdpm6r6k596yd2vvxnp9z9wunre thank you very much.
Well it's sad to wait such a long time and spend tx fees for nothing, since no one has won anything at the end but it is what it is.
I just sent you back 1mbtc to the address you ask for :

Agreed! However, on the present situation, a 3 satoshi fee that you paid will take many years before this will be confirmed hehehehee. In any case, I increased the fee to be included on the next block. Also, thank you and see you next year hehehe.

@Rikafip. You were right on Anatomy of the fall for best original screenplay, I was very much in love with the Holdovers.

Dune 2 will be next year's best director, best picture and best adapted screenplay winners!

I agree big money films wont be altered in their course especially but still its a detail that matters as not every film not even the Oscar winners is that size of production and cost.

Theres an influence from their change in rules, its small print that lawyers will have to examine but its more then that basic 1 week now.  The theatre shares of a few major indebted companies might benefit a bit from that additional requirement rolling out.  Im not a big fan of how expensive its gotten nowadays I was always just a casual low key theater goer in the 'cheap seats' type of way.
   Theres a bit of conflict and fight for revenue over the various ways a film can be released, its part of technology kinda related to the whole online thing we're part of imo but sure there's nothing like a proper theater release in that exact way.

Oscars' new streaming rule explained - and how it will impact the Best Picture award
The Academy Awards has new rules that expanded the theatrical requirement for films to qualify for Best Picture this year.


This expanded theatrical run for Best Picture contenders had to have been finished by Jan. 24.

Eligibility for other categories were not be affected by this new requirement.

“As we do every year, we have been reviewing and assessing our theatrical eligibility requirements for the Oscars,” academy chief executive Bill Kramer and academy president Janet Yang said in a joint statement.

“In support of our mission to celebrate and honor the arts and sciences of moviemaking, it is our hope that this expanded theatrical footprint will increase the visibility of films worldwide and encourage audiences to experience our artform in a theatrical setting. Based on many conversations with industry partners, we feel that this evolution benefits film artists and movie lovers alike.”


They expanded the theatrical requirement for films to qualify for Best Picture at the 97th Academy Awards. So films needed to have spent more time in the theaters to qualify for the coveted nomination.

Under the new rules, a film needs to continue its run beyond the previous requirement — a one-week theatrical release in one of six U.S. qualifying cities — to be eligible for Best Picture, according to the L.A. Times.

Films need to add an additional theatrical run of seven days, consecutive or nonconsecutive, and it must happen in 10 of the top 50 U.S. markets, no later than 45 days after the initial release in 2024. (Non-U.S. territory releases can count toward two of the 10 markets.)

Heres the winners in a list:
  • Best Picture: Oppenheimer

    Best Actress: Emma Stone - Poor Things

    Best Actor: Cillian Murphy - Oppenheimer

    Best Director: Christopher Nolan - Oppenheimer

    Supporting Actress: Da'Vine Joy Randolph - The Holdovers

    Supporting Actor: Robert Downey Jr. - Oppenheimer

    Original Song: Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell - What Was I Made For? from Barbie

    Original Score - Ludwig Göransson - Oppenheimer

    Cinematography: Hoyte van Hoytema - Oppenheimer

    Achievement in Film Editing: Jennifer Lame - Oppenheimer

    Production Design: James Price and Shona Heath; Set Decoration: Zsuzsa Mihale - Poor Things

    Make-up and Hairstyling: Nadia Stacey, Mark Coulier and Josh Weston - Poor Things

    Achievement in Costume Design: Holly Waddington - Poor Things

    Original Screenplay: Justine Triet and Arthur Harari - Anatomy Of A Fall

    Adapted Screenplay: Cord Jefferson - American Fiction

    International Feature Film - The Zone of Interest from United Kingdom

Great speech by Cillian Murphy considering where he is from, the context of everything he said is eternally true.

Now you got me confused. Didn't you bet on Emma Stone winning an Oscar, mening you won the bet?
No the bet was on Sandra Hüller, but we agreed to replace her by Emma Stone with a different payout, if she didn't qualify to avoid wasting time and money for nothing precisely.

Why it would be cancelled bro, you think I start to be scared of losing against you? Angry LOL I'm kidding of course Cheesy
Before giving you my address I want to sum up things in order to avoid any future boring contentious disputes about the agreement.

So do you agree with this :

If Sandra Hüller wins, you will receive 6.5mbtc + 1mbtc from your stake
If Lily Gladstone wins, you won't receive anything I'll keep your 1mbtc
If Sandra Hüller is not nominated but Emma Stone(your jocker) wins, you will receive 1mbtc + 1mbtc
If Sandra Hüller is not nominated and any other actress than Emma Stone (and Lily Gladstone) wins, you will receive 1mbtc(your stake back)
If Sandra Hüller is nominated and Emma Stone wins or any other actress (except Lily Gladstone), you will receive 1mbtc(your stake back)

Are you ok with that bro?

I think the gambling industry might like that Oscars will ignore even some large productions that might skip theatre release, perhaps there is an opportunity in that growth sector.  A film can be tight on its costs but due to audience appeal become massive afterwards hence I do reckon a big hit eventually will be excluded from Oscars from this new rule.
No big productions will skip theater release, as they will just adjust to any rules in order to qualify. Thing is, if you spend ~$200M on a movie, no way in hell you won't do whatever its needed in order to to get some Oscars as they usually mean more money earned.

After all, even up until now, all movies had to be released in a US theater for at least 1 week, so this is nothing new and it didn't stop movies that porimarily went on streaming sites from winning Oscars.

Oppenheimer

A good bet on the basis of the underlying event and the film being recognized as a good one.  Oscars tends to favor the big emotional or theme based films and this event around one of the most destructive horrific acts of humanity during a time of world war is going to be as big as they come.   I prefer the underdog bets but this was a fair winner.

I noticed an article outlying how the 2025 Oscar best film award onwards can only go to theatre releases in the majority in future, this is to stop the introduction of online film eclipsing the 'real deal' releases which of course support the theatre network across the world.   The wider release dates specified to qualify actually extends upto mid January before cutting off whether a film qualifies as theatre or just general release not applicable for Oscars.
   Thats fair in supporting its own main industry for the award and revenue an Oscar gives after but it does open up the odds of another online award ceremony recognising any film on any medium even totally digital releases, due to costs these arent going away.

@Rikafip. It appears I was very much mistaken. Oppenheimer won all of the awards on the major categories where they were nominated. Best picture and best director go to go to Christopher Nolan and best actor goes to Cilian Murphy hehe.
It could have been worse, like for example Lily winning an Oscar.  Grin  Another thing, if you remember, I said that I could see Anatomy of a Fall winning the best original screenplay and it happened in the end, confirming Bafta award.



There is no winner in our bet. Kindly return the coins to bc1q2cxuaksp48qmdpm6r6k596yd2vvxnp9z9wunre thank you very much.

for president and vice president but now an Oscar;D.
But like everyone else yesterday I watched Oppenheimer and this movie is actually good the soundtrack is also good I mean I gonna definitely pick this than a Barbie movie heheheh But this is just my opinion.

Gambling for everything, if we can bet about marbles and pennies against the wall we can bet on anything.  Oscars is a big deal that people talk about for years after with what won how big, it matters.     We perhaps could use a playlist for music category to decide but as with every category its hard to realize their particular perspective on what defines a winning pick.   Usually there is an extra element to the choices like a cause of some kind or greater theme imo

hahahaha yeah when there is a choices there is a gambling on there hahahah

Yes for sure, but what is the nationality of bookmakers' odds providers?
I wasn't commenting on the odds, I merely shared what I think is the main reason Lily Gladstone won the SAG award, while non-US awards are ignoring her. After all, Oscars are US oriented award so no wonder that themes/agendas that are important to them have higher chance for winning.


But her wife has been very very sad when she lost her hair from what I heard and maybe she tried to commit suicide or something like that, so this situation could have been very disturbing for him.
Jada is a total mess and unfortunately managed to ruin once very likeable and charming guy. But that's what you get when you are a wimp and let a manipulative woman make a total fool out of you infront of the whole world.

Finally, Lily Gladstone won the best actress award of the Actors Guild against Emma Stone, Margot Robbie, Annette Bening and Carey Mulligan.
SAG is US organisation, so no surprise that Lily won the award.  Grin
Yes for sure, but what is the nationality of bookmakers' odds providers? Are they americans too? Because for some reasons they now think another time that Lily Gladstone has more chances to win the Oscar than Emma Stone and than few days ago while they think the opposite for Emma Stone.



Will didn't show attitude, he just showed that his wife is in a total control over him. He was even initially laughing at the joke and only after he saw her face he decided to act. By the way, that joke was actually a compliment to her as Demi Moore was hot af in GI Jane. He doesn't mind other guys screwing his wife, but he minds some jokes lol.

Lol of course not. I am not a wimp like Will Smith that I am afraid of my wife. Cheesy
Yes his reaction 2 years ago was very confusing. But her wife has been very very sad when she lost her hair from what I heard and maybe she tried to commit suicide or something like that, so this situation could have been very disturbing for him.

Kudos to Mr. Smith for saving the Oscars with pure attitude and he wasn't wrong in that the joke wasn't funny.

You watch with your buddies first then on the second viewing the wife does not know that you watched the movie with your buddies already and you pretend that everything is new for you?

I saw the title and thought to myself… Where are you all finding bets on stuff like this? I see these types of threads but I never see stuff like this or the presidential election on stake. Maybe I need to look around a bit more or something. Not that I would gamble on the Oscars but maybe something else interesting.

For the presidential election, I knew it from my friend and the gambling sites are local But i don't know if this exists in other sites.

How long have you been in Duelbit's campaign? Betting on movie, music and tv awards has always been there in the betting specials category.

I am just new here and Duelbit has a lot of games but I only tried a few haha like of course my favorite games are Crash Mines and Plinko. So gambling like really push into anything nowadays right  Cheesy

I don't know man, the topic is opened since september and you're the first one, since only 2days, saying she shouldn't be nominated in this category, and I haven't heard of such controversy anywhere else. She is nominated for the best Female Actor in a Leading Role by the Actors Guild for the SAG awards, she won a Golden Globes in a leading role category without any controversy  and bookmakers still seem to think she will get nominated for the Best actress Oscar.
https://www.sagaftra.org/nominations-announced-30th-annual-screen-actors-guild-awards%C2%AE
Finally, Lily Gladstone won the best actress award of the Actors Guild against Emma Stone, Margot Robbie, Annette Bening and Carey Mulligan.
Bokkmakers have then lowered their odds for her victory and they now think she has equal chances to win it as Emma Stone.



I want Emma Stone to win hehehehehee! The Hollywood agenda should not be victorious!

I am onlyjoking. I reckon this is Lily Gladstone's oscar already, congratulations.

@Rikafip. Watch it a weekday if you are going alone, I reckon. However, if you are watching it with friends, it is much better and fun on a weekend where you fall in line and talk, buy your drink and popcorn while waiting for your schedule hehehe.
I think first watching will be with my buddies and 2nd (if movie is as good as I think it will be) with my wife. Either way, can't wait, its been many years I saw the same movie twice in cinema.



For those interested, The Zone of Interest in a good quality is finally out in "video stores". I have a very high expectations from this one, very interesting take on the whole concentration camp thing. Despite having 5 Oscar nominations I still kinda feel that movie is somewhat under the radar. 

You watch with your buddies first then on the second viewing the wife does not know that you watched the movie with your buddies already and you pretend that everything is new for you?

In any case, the odds on Oppenheimer for best picture was reduced to 1.08. This occurred after the voting process finished on February 27. I appears that Christopher Nolan might win best director and best movie.

That's interesting! The odds really changed, now bookies are seeing that Gladstone has equal chance with Stone to get such award. Few more days and we will see how this event goes this year. Waiting for another 'slapgate' incident during big awards like this. Maybe, that's one reason why like Academy Awards got popular because of Will Smith, not the winning actors/actresses. As people search for that particular incident. Not because who won those coveted awards.  Grin Grin

@el kaka22. The snub on Margo Robbie was the correct decision by the voters. Barbie movie is a big commercial to sell toys to kids that make them feel they need to be another person to be happy.

Ive read oscar voters who are Directors then vote on the Directors category but any of the Oscar voters can vote for the Best picture so that is the most open, I guess the directors could all decide they dont go with Nolan's style on things.
Its true, directors vote for "best director" category, actors in "best actor/actresses" awards etc while all members of academy have the right to vote for the main award, "best picture".


This could be good or bad based on two things, would be bad because it would mean people would not give enough credit for Oscars and enough of these stupid decisions and Oscars will lose its attention
The bolded part already happened, Oscar award is loosing its signifance each year and I don't see this trend changing anytime soon. If anything, I expect things to become even worse.


The early reviews on rottentomatoes.com is 97% with a fresh pick logo.
Yep, initial reviews are very good so far and I am getting seriously hyped. The only thing I have to decide whether to go watch Dune on Thursday or wait for the weekend. Or maybe I watch both days.  Grin

There needs to be some sort of change on how they decide on the winner. We have seen some very high quality movies that won it, but we have seen some super high popularity movies that won it as well, there needs to be some balance between the two.

I mean it is obvious that there are obvious snubs, like for example Margot Robbie not even being a nominee, I would understand not winning that is perfectly fine, but not even being a nominee? But at the same time Oppenheimer has been getting almost every single award up until now, which means that if Oscars do not give the best movie to them, it would create a lot of controversy.

This could be good or bad based on two things, would be bad because it would mean people would not give enough credit for Oscars and enough of these stupid decisions and Oscars will lose its attention, whereas it would be good because it would create headlines and make Oscars a big news once again, for something bad maybe, but I bet there will be some people who will support it just because humanity likes to argue.
