Perhaps the only surprise in the nominees for best picture is the absence of House Of Gucci, but all other nominees on the list are well-deserved (except, maybe, Don't Look Up). Power Of The Dog by Jane Campion is a strong favorite, with Spielberg's West Side Story as a strong secondary contender.
I agree on Don’t Look Up. It was an entertaining comedy but not a movie for the Oscar awards. However, always there is politics in this. Leonardo di Caprio has the Hollywood connections to make his contemporaries vote for his projects in exchange for a chance to get favors hehehe. My strong secondary is Belfast and my third is Coda. They are very good movies that everyone should watch. I shake my head when someone said there were no good movies created on 2021. Have you seen Belfast? It wasn't a comedy, it wasn't a historical mastermind like Schindler's list, it wasn't proper drama that made you cry, it was absolutely nothing. What was it that made it so "sure to win Oscars" movie? The great communication of the troubles some people had back in the day. That is literally it, nothing more. Political is the way to go now, and if you do historical "minority" then you would be sure to be somewhere. It was a story about childhood and living under a type of environment where violence might erupt anytime because of different religious beliefs. It was also a movie showing that despite the violence and the useless conflict, there was beauty and happiness in the innocence of childhood. I very much liked the movie and it might win best original screenplay. The production design was also good, the cinematography good and the music used in the movie was very good. It was also based on the director’s childhood.

Betting on this event, it seems to me, is already quite an old game and we can say that it is quite widespread. At least every year before the ceremony in many media, news about these events are presented as "according to bookmakers, the favorite for the award is ...". When it comes to winning, it's like in sports, the bookies are pretty accurate in their predictions, so it's pretty hard to beat them.
Are you sure with that? This is Oscar Awards, so for me, this is quite hard to predict as it depends on the judges of this event. Bookies may have their pulse but I don't believe that it will be pretty accurate. But anyway, let's see if they can get most of the categories. Bookies are getting money also from this event as some people are really betting because they have their own favorites when it comes to film industry. But if you are not very familiar with their ways of selecting a winner, would be a challenge to bet for the winners. Yes, you can easily check it through search. For example, here is an article discussing the chances of actors to win an Oscar and the odds given by bookmakers: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1251424/Oscar-2010-nominees--Imax-view-Jeff-Bridges-Sandra-Bullock-odds-favourites-win-line-nominees-attend-pre-event-luncheon.html This article is from 2010. I think for every year you can find a lot of these "footprints". I don’t bet with fiat bookmakers, so I can’t say who specializes in this, but I think that the largest bookmakers have been providing the opportunity to bet on such events for a long time. As for the strength of forecasts, the strongest analysts work for them, plus they have more insider opportunities, so they are difficult to beat.

Last year I predicted The Father (2020) as an oscar winner just purely because its a difficult subject that would appeal in a lasting way to the oscar committee who are naturally older then average. Obviously Hopkins does a great job, it did win but I didnt have enough faith that the simple theme that appeals in some community way would get the win. I just want to spot a similar idea this time too, well acted produced and with that wider message that gets the oscar win quite often.
It got actor + Best Writing Adapted Screenplay Oscar wins.

I just see this thread and it make me laugh and awe. That even an event like this can be put in for betting on sportsbooks.
Betting on this should have seen those movies to have better knowledge and analysis who can get the award and I guess this is harder to win than a common sports betting.

Political is the way to go now, and if you do historical "minority" then you would be sure to be somewhere. King Richard was literally just a historical thing talking about father of Williams sisters father and even that got something, why? Because, it was political while talking about the life of them which is understandable because as black kids playing a majority white kid sport, it was a bit political. So Don't Look Up had all the potential to be nominated as any other, but will not get it just because it is not what was but what will be.

I saw Matrix and its not half as bad as some are describing it, its not near to as good as the original but its not a bad stand alone movie by itself. I was especially impressed by the special effects and the general pace of action in the movie, Im glad they made the movie as its watchable for sure. Its not likely an Oscar contender imo unless I missed a technical award it might receive but I'd expect other movies to qualify better overall.
I dont think they advanced the story enough, its more of a revisit to the universe. Anyone new to Matrix should make certain they watch them all in order dont begin with this and work backwards.
I thought the last part of the matrix was terrible, Keanu Reeves may have played his part well but the film was no different from regular action movies. I didn't like this film and I don't think it's worthy of an Oscar nomination in any way.

In general, in general, cinema academics have chosen, of course, the best films from all Hollywood productions that were created in 2021. My favorite is of course "Power Of The Dog" by Jane Campion. But Dune should also be noted for the brilliant performance of the protagonist, in my opinion, by Timothée Shalome. I really liked his game. This is a young 26-year-old and a very talented actor. Even before Dune, he played a great young king in a historical drama. But still I put more on Power Of the dog.  Yeah, I agree. Dune is the world's best-selling science fiction novel, and I'm a big fan of the entire series. I'm glad it finally got an adaptation that was worthy of the big screen. Considering there are ten Oscar nominations for Dune, it is likely to get at least a few of them, but unfortunately not for best picture.
