I did not bet on DiCaprio 3 weeks ago when I thought the odds was too low. Now the odds is even a lot lower, and I was feeling a bit regretful lol. Anyway I will probably only bet on Stallone this year which I think has a high chance to win and a reasonably good odds.

I also wonder if Oscar gets Sylvester Stallone or Tom Hardy .. but for "ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE". For an Oscar "ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE" are nominated:
Bryan Cranston, Trumbo
Matt Damon, The Martian
Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant <--- here is my bet Wink

Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs
Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl

So there is no way to compete Stallone with Di Caprio Grin

Oops sorry for not mentioning it clearer. I was planning to bet on DiCaprio winning best actor but was deterred by the very low odds, and now I has decided to bet on Stallone winning best supporting actor @ 1.33.

I wanted to write a correction.. when i read once again your comment more carefully i understand what you mean Wink

I have bigger problem with Stallone/Hardy than with Di Caprio - here i'm sure Wink

Movie - Martian (probably Wink

)

DiCaprio is like the outsider, outstanding performances but he just doesn't have the luck with Oscars. Perhaps after he's 45... Wink

DiCaprio has good chance of finally winning an Oscar, already won the Golden Globe, the Oscar is next.

Very true. I also believe he will very likely win the Oscar this year, but the odds I see is terrible @ 1.07. It is definitely not worth the risk IMO.

I just saw Star Wars The Force Awakens is in the Oscars under Best Visual Effects and has the same odds with Mad Max this will be a close call to be honest

Yep. For me it is the worst.. because i don't like Star Wars

Anyway for Visual Effects i bet on Mad Max.
I didn't change my mind about best film and actor 100% Di Caprio and 90% for Marsian.
Supporting actor - other very difficult position - or Stallone or Hardy. I think Hardy.

That would be really funny.

But I think it happens often.

But most do it among friends. But it would be fun to do.

I don't see any bets on DirectBet anymore, when I click on Oscars, I get this message: "The specified event could not be found."

I have watched all the nominated movies and can make my predictions and I don't think Spotlight will win it, its good but I find Revenant to be better.

Thanks for this DB... however parlay feature is disabled. Not Cool!! Angry

Hi bitcoinprofit,

Thank you so much for your feedback !

This is because special bets and bets on the same event can not be parlayed due to potential correlation.

For example, there could be a correlation between different Oscars categories.

If you are interested in parlaying your bet on the Oscars with Direct Dice you can use our 'Double or Nothing' betting option.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions.

Thanks again for your feedback. Your feedback is very important to us

All the Best,

Am I allowed to say that I thought Di Caprio was fine but not amazing in the revenant? I thought Tom Hardy gave a better performance but he did have more to work with. I can think of plenty of other actors who would've been as good.

I'm not sure I'd want to bet on Oscars. At least with sports you have some form to go on. The Oscars are totally subjective and it's decided by a few thousand old white guys with dementia.

You may be right but like I said I don't think Di Caprio has strong opposition this year compared to previous ones and that's why he is most likely to win. I think this internet/meme movement and cause is also a factor since the man has been paying its dues for years. Of course that doesn't guarantee him an Oscar but considering this year best actor nominations is clear why he is the favorite to get it.

But you must admit it would actually be fun and exciting. And also we would be watching Oscars as if we actually watch it.

Never heard of it, frankly. But I think it is done well, but probably not so popular.
Maybe later we can gamble on more such shows.

It would be funny if DiCaprio didn't win again. Its funny how he is one of the best Actors in hollywood and has never won as Oscar but other lame actors win year by year. Its staged most likely.

It's not staged but plenty of great actors face fierce competition when nominated but with a weaker part or movie. Other years they are not even nominated for perhaps they best work ever. In this case I think Di Caprio is actually the favorite.

I don't really care who or what movie wins, that's really lame because one cannot say one is "better" than the other, but nominations are cool and should be well considered, they are like achievements by themselves, the movies and technical work that stood out, no matter which one is actually the best one.

I think it is going to take Dicaprio the Oscars this time.

He has never won and I think that people gamble on him that he's going to win.

The thing is DiCaprio has quite a repertoire.
Altough he is not my favorite actor, his changes are pretty good.

Even more since his last movie was quite the movie right (The Revenant).
