I should say that we can sure bet on everything nowadays especially that gambling has no limits we can sure predict and have a bet on everything we can think on just saying.
But this should be my picks if I would bet on an Oscar nominee and for the matter, we can not even say if who's or what movie's going to win, I'll go with
Best Picture: Black Panther, Bohemian Rhapsody Or Aquaman if that would be included in the oscar and I am picking these three because of the stunning effects they had in it.
Best Director: Adam McKay would be my pick well after he won 2015 Academy Award for Best Director on The Big Short He is venturing more on the dramatic sense of territory and I should say he can be qualified for it as well.
Best Actor: Would be Willem Dafoe for me in his role in the Movie, At Eternitys Gate is astonishing and brilliant indeed my second choice will be Rami Malek because Freddie Mercury comes back to life after he takes the role and I really like his acting that he had portrayed in him.
For Best Actress, I haven't picked anyone yet because I haven't seen any of the movies yet.

I think I'm going to use Augur this time, there's a prediction market for which movie is going to win the Oscars.
https://predictions.global/augur-markets/what-film-will-win-the-best-picture-at-oscars-2019-0x1b2766408fe7dbdde07b71ee5c262b5d99aeaf66
Never actually used Augur like this, so I'm curious to see how this actually works.
If anyone has experience with this, definitely offer some information if you can.

Spike Lee (BlacKkKlansman) - 9.00
Christian Bale (Vice) - 2.00
Yalitza Aparicio (Roma) - 17.00
I would bet on those names. They are not necessarily the ones I liked the most. But those are the ones that seem most reasonable to win some money. Rome as a movie is almost certain. Spike Lee sounds like a fun name to bet. Because of his career, by the political positioning he has and for perhaps being the great and unique opportunity for him.
Bale, as well as Rome, seems like a sure bet too. Almost impossible to lose. And he deserves it, is incredible in the film and would be a prize for all the transformations he went through.
Yalitza could be a surprise and bring a good return on the bet.
@asche. Freddie Mercury was gay wasn't he and he also died of AIDS which might have been contracted from other gay men or drug use?
He was not a saint, I reckon. He was gay and wild, which is something not to condemn him about.

Not codemning that.
However the Freddy Mercury from the movie was nothing like the real Freddy. Ok both had aids and were gay.
But in the movie he is kinda presented like "somewhat gay/bisexual", which is not who he was at all.
Twisting the story like the producer/scenarist did, is blatant homophobia to me at worst, or just a way to make more money off the movie because it fits the narrative better. He can do what he want with fiction. But when you mix fiction and history and sell it as a biography, I don't like it.
There are a lot of very good written critics about this you can read, I did. They are enlightening
If you hated the way he was portrayed in that movie, maybe you would have hated Sacha Cohen's portrayal. His would have drug parties with cocaine served on plates on top of women's heads and orgies with men and women hehehe.
That might be the kind of person he was outside of Queen.
I am not a fan of Oscar Awards and also I didn't know that we can gamble with them, but I will give it a shot!
I will take my chances with Yorgos Lanthimos (The Favourite) as the Best Director. I think that The Favourite was a masterpiece and combined with the 26.00 odds that it has I think that it is a value bet.

There is now a betting for Oscar's? That was insane 
. If this is possible then why I haven't heard any betting happened for Ms. Universe?
That was exactly my first impression when I saw the title of the topic : we are now betting for everything . If this is possible then why I haven't heard any betting happened for Ms. Universe? 
Anyway, I think Black Panther had greater chance of winning compare to others if we will based on the impact it brought to the crowd because it was a blockbuster hit and definitely hooked its viewers (Marvel rocks! Lol).
Again i have the same feeling, Black Panther has nice odds to win.

I reckon many Queen fans would hate Sacha Cohen Baron's version of Freddie Mercury. Sacha wanted to show Freddie Mercury the man including all the orgies and the drugs. The remaining members of Queen wanted to protect their legacy as a band, according to Sacha.
It is just that whatever he wanted to show is NOT the reality. Not to mention ow his sexual orientation is handled in the movie. It is a pure joke.
The name should have been Bohemian Blasphemy.

In any case, how many Golden Globe best actor winners also won the Oscar for best actor?

Thats the movie that would deserve an oscar
My thought exactly :=)
Thats why the original star quit, it was going to be sacha baron cohen who had arranged the movie for years apparently. It was no go with the original band But then he isnt an actor exactly but I believe he could have pulled it off. He wanted the realistic story, no hollywood gloss over Freddy's end. Obviously that'd be a harsh movie, entirely different. Thats the movie that would deserve an oscar, depends what they are awarding because no doubt the movie made money. Theres a whole generation who arent acquainted with his music

I am gutted that bohemian rhapsody is on the list.
The movie is nothing like what happened. It is really grotesque. The only good thing in the movie, the OST!

I've only seen Green Book, Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman and Bohemian Rhapsody.I think the first one is Oscar material, not the other three.
If I had to bet, I'd go with Roma, Rami Malek, Glenn Close and Spike Lee.

Watch Roma! It is on Netflix now if you have it. If not, there is always torrents hehehe. There is no excuse not to be able to watch the latest movies anymore.
I have not finished my thorough study of these movies but I might have a similar prediction except for best director. Alfonso Cuaron would be my prediction. I would not bet on it however.

Bohemian Rhapsody - 17.00

The odds are on these are way too long. VICE relates to quite recent events, maybe thats too political to gain main support. Bush is not ancient history but thats very long odds without good reason afaik. [Also there is a strong disparity to the odds on main actor]
Black Panther could be a surprise win because oscars was called out a year or so ago for being too much of a whites only ceremony. I wont say on that either way but they are very PC orientated seems like. To me this is ridiculous reasoning to be in favour of anything but it could tip the scales more then expected
Ditto Rhapsody, for anyone not old enough to remember Mercury's death it was part of the shock deaths from AIDS era. He is an icon for that movement and possibly again not entirely sound reasoning but for PC reasons the film could be a surprise contender. Thats not the sum total of my reasoning, I'm only mentioning what others havent as a possible factor. The host himself proposed this year has already been kicked out for old anti gay jokes and so on, its part of the atmosphere that frames judging

Didn't know you could place bets on the oscars but this shouldn't of surprised me considering all of the other crazy bets I've seen. There could easily be corruption with the voting members, this is very different from a sports match because this has a predetermined outcome that may leak.
On a side note, I'm not a fan of the oscars, they never award comedies and its a crime that Johnny Depp still hasn't won.

I trust these exchanges more than ever now. Reason is the world beauty peagent or whatever it is called, there was 20-30 or even more woman competing in that and the topic was "beauty" like as in something that changes from person to person and there was a bunch of people who supported one woman while the others supported the other basically there was a lot of people supporting all of the woman competing but the odds were in favor of a woman who I think wasn't the prettiest in that yet she won, that means betting websites know something we don't know.
That being said if the odds are in favor of Roma that means Roma will win, if you ask me with all the political turmoil of the world blackkklansman had a chance because it tells a message clearly but looking at odds it looks 10.00 so I doubt it will have a chance at all.
