Topic: OSCARS 2021- Nominees, Odds and Predictions! - page 9. (Read 1864 times)

This is for sure the weakest year ever. OK maybe not ever but in the last 20 years for sure. Don't even want to watch any of the movies nominated let alone give them an award. Too bad all those blockbusters need big revenues from cinemas. We could have had a much less boring year if some of the movies that should have aired actually did so. Just another way covid managed to screw with our lives.

Good thing streaming services like Netflix stepped up and did some good work. But that is off topic here so I will not continue with that discussion.

You telling me you really watched those movies? 

I think Hollywood is in trouble and they are making boring movies with bunch of rinse and repeat remake stories, but I did try to watch two movies from those Oscar nominees.
Started watching Tenet but never finished it, and I watched News of the World with Tom Hanks and it's ok post Civil War story but nothing special and not Oscar material for me.
I can't believe that Borat stuff made it to Oscars and that tells you everything you need to know about Oscars...

To be honest, I expect people will check the odds anyway, so why not share them immediately? But I would also like to hear who would people like to win an Oscar, and not just who they think will win the Oscar.


I haven't seen Ma Rainey's Black Bottom yet so I don't know how good Chadwick Boseman was, but from the movies I saw  would like of Riz Ahmed scoops the award. First half an hour into movie I was sure he gets a nomination. I didn't have an opportunity  to watch The Father yet, I expect  a lot from that one. Regarding Nomadland, I saw it  and I agree that it is a good film but definitely not everyone's cup of tea as it is slow paced. I am surprised that The Trial of The Chicago 7 is has the 2nd lowest odds as it nothing special tbh, an average movie. At least for me.



Yeah I agree, 1.08 is simply too low for an Oscar and it is a bad bet. If you don't mind slow paced movies, chances are that you will like Nomadland, but generally I think that this is one of the weaker years when it comes to Best Picture award.

yes, there's no need to put the odds beside their name. i think, better add the sites (crypto bookies preferably, but hard to find) which are including this oscars betting. that will be helpful to gamblers here.

for fiat bookies, you can check these sites - 1 or 2 or 3

the last site, it listed https://www.bovada.lv/ - and it says bitcoin and bitcoin cash accepted

Only 1.08 odds for Chadwick Boseman? This could be a sure bet but I wouldn't play for such low odds.
From the odds I can say Nomadland must be a really good movie. I should watch it as soon as possible. We know odds don't give us winners but we also know Oscars are fixed to hell, just like Grammy's etc. 1.40 against 6, the lowest odd, it seems that other's winning chances are almost impossible.

Thanks for making this thread, gives me a good list to go through and review.   Of course without knowing all the films content I cant quite judge yet but I'd be biased towards any established actor whose been nominated a few times like Anthony Hopkins (The Father) Gary Oldman and Carey Mulligan Glenn Close (Hillbilly Elegy) Olivia Colman are familiar to me so first I think I will make sure to tick off the list first and consider all eventually.   The hardest to call is the new comer or slightly unknown but I think people accumulate support and respect across years that helps their odds with an actual win.    Theres a certain type of story that the Oscars seems to go for especially in its appeal, almost political but not that, more within the theatrical realm they favour the gushy type films with big production.

Thank you for this thread but if you're asking people favorites you shouldn't put odds here because people will be influenced by that. And you won't get reliable opinions.
The biggest favorites are of course Chadwick Boseman, Chloe Zhao and Nomadland.
For the best actress, Carey Mulligan was already the favorite at the Golden Globes but finally Andra Day won it so I think 5.0 for Andra Day is too high, she is a serious contender actually.

Academy released today list of 2021 Oscar nominees in 24 categories so I thought its time to start this thread, mention all the nominees and their odds. The odds have been taken from nicerodds. Some categories that don't have odds available yet will be updated later.
