Title: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: bbc.reporter on December 23, 2021, 05:50:13 AM Odds for the Oscar Awards 2022 are presently now available in different sportsbooks. However, the nominations have not yet been made. It might be safer to bet after the no nomination of each contestant for each category. Some movies, actors and directors listed might not be nominated.
Date of announcement of nominees will be on February 8, 2022. Date of the Oscar Awards ceremony and presentation of winners will be on March 27, 2022 This will give everyone to sit on their couches and study movies hehehe. What Oscar movies have each of you watched up to now? I have only watched Dune and Power of the dog. I was disappointed on Dune, I am a fan of the books. Power of the dog was boring, I did not finish it. I will watch it again as a critic if it is nominated hehe. Best actor odds Smith, Will 1.33 Cumberbatch, Benedict 4.40 Garfield, Andrew 7.00 Washington, Denzel 23.00 Bardem, Javier 41.00 https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/specials/entertainment/oscar-best-actor/oscar-best-actor-615e9e2b5f61ff3968545d7b Best actress odds Kidman, Nicole 1.97 Stewart, Kristen 3.50 Colman, Olivia 5.50 Chastain, Jessica 6.00 Cruz, Penelope 19.00 https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/specials/entertainment/oscar-best-actress/oscar-best-actress-615e9e7c07c559f893bf2306 Best picture odds The Power of The Dog 1.49 Belfast 4.00 West Side Story 8.00 Coda 17.00 Licorice Pizza 21.00 Dune 23.00 King Richard 29.00 Drive MY Car 34.00 Dont Look UP 41.00 Nightmare Alley 81.00 https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/specials/entertainment/oscar-best-picture/oscar-best-picture-61f10b147d0388a7e3b146a5 Best director odds Campion, Jane 1.14 Branagh, Kenneth 11.00 Spielberg, Steven 12.00 Hamaguchi, Ryusuke 17.00 Andersson, Paul Thomas 21.00 https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/specials/entertainment/oscar-best-director/oscar-best-director-617bedf63be16be16025d2c1 Best supporting actor Smit-Mcphee, Kodi 1.41 Kotsur, Troy 3.60 Hinds, Ciaran 7.50 Simmons, Jonathan Kimble 25.00 Plemons, Jesse 27.00 https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/specials/entertainment/oscar-best-supporting-actor/oscar-best-supporting-actor-62060cc3f2911d75baa17232 Best supporting actor Debose, Ariana 1.20 Dunst, Kirsten 4.80 Ellis, Aunjanue 11.50 Dench, Judi 21.00 Buckley, Jessie 25.00 https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/specials/entertainment/oscar-best-supporting-actress/oscar-best-supporting-actress-62060cfd83ab0bb884200fa1 Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: paxmao on December 24, 2021, 02:11:16 AM Oh my god, Di Caprio again in there. Please, tell me he is not going to win again. I am not surprised about the movies odds - for example who was the guy that woke up one morning and decided that the world needed just another version of Dune? Really? Is like waking up in New York and thinking that the world just needs another Italian restaurant. Regarding actresses, I dislike most of them and I really do not see how Lady Gaga fits at all even in a nomination.
Should I place a bet... best movie Belfast. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: bbc.reporter on December 24, 2021, 04:07:49 AM @paxmao. It will presently be a risk to bet anything before the official nomination from the academy of motion picture and arts. However, it can be speculated that if Belfast is nominated, the odds for this might go down to 1.50.
Also, another risky bet that might have a chance is Power of the Dog. It is 6.50 for best picture but the director of the movie is Jane Campion who is the favorite for best director. Some of the time the best director has the same winner for best picture. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: michellee on December 24, 2021, 04:34:15 AM Best actor:
Dicaprio, Leonardo Best actress: Kidman, Nicole Best picture: Dune Best director: Scott, Ridley I just picked my random selection on Oscar Awards as I am not yet watching all of that movies. Maybe later I will watch one by one to see if my choice is still the same or I need to change it ;D Good to see DiCaprio is one of the nominees of the Oscar Awards ;D Dune is like a Star Trek with a laser beam everywhere ;D I am not a fan of that kind of movie but I just like it ;D Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: mindrust on December 24, 2021, 04:39:59 AM Was there even a good movie in 2021? I don't remember I watched any quality movies lately. Oscar awards lost its meaning long time ago. Seems to me they are trying to keep this tradition alive desperately. Since there aren't any decent movies, they are throwing the awards randomly now. Which means, you can't really come up with an educated guess.

Which means, you can't really come up with an educated guess. Definitely, the Oscar has lost some kind of adequacy in general. After the Oscar for the fantastic "Avatar" film, I don't remember a single film that interested me at all, so that I realized that it was worthy of an award. And the point here is rather that the cinema and Hollywood are gradually heading towards the crisis of the genre, interesting, let alone worthy films less and less. And lately, and in general one rubbish with computer special effects on the screens. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: davis196 on December 24, 2021, 06:56:49 AM I'm pretty sure that all the movies,which have a "progressive" and "liberal" message would win all the awards again. ;D
Nowadays,Hollywood is all about politics rather than good cinematography. I'm surprised that Will Smith has such big odds of winning the "Best Actor" award.He's a decent actor,but I don't think that he's that great. Dune had received a lot of critical appraisal,but the Dune movies usually disappoint and they can't be compared with the book. I remember the Dune movie directed by Davis Lynch in the 80s.It was a disaster. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: delfastTions on December 24, 2021, 07:13:29 AM I'm pretty sure that all the movies,which have a "progressive" and "liberal" message would win all the awards again. ;D Yes, that is absolutely correct. There are now so many politicians in this competition, which was originally intended to award the best films that were considered as works of art. And now all the kaya "political correctness" to skin color, LGBT, some freaks and other nonsense is mixed here. The first thing that comes to mind in 2021 is of course "Dune". And even despite the good performance of the main character (Timothée Chalamet), I still cannot consider this film a "work of art"Nowadays,Hollywood is all about politics rather than good cinematography.

Also it would be nice if the OP could have a poll, because it’s would be easier to wager based on the poll results so if possible do add the poll.

Which means, you can't really come up with an educated guess. I wasn't aware either but since there are already options I guess they're still worth watching. It's just that it didn't give us hype or noise so we didn't feel any excitement. However, let's see and check the options so we'll have an idea of where to bet. This is still exciting for Oscar's fans.

However, the nominations have not yet been made. It might be safer to bet after the no nomination of each contestant for each category. Some movies, actors and directors listed might not be nominated. Date of announcement of nominees will be on February 8, 2022. I am actually surprised, that you can bet on the outcome of the Oscar Awards to be honest. I mean there are at least 20 people at the moment i would guess that already know who will win. So those guys of the jury could just go and place a huge bet here. Or they could just tell someone that is not related to them who will win and let them bet for them and then split the rewards 50/50 because then it is not so obvious. Looking at the nominated pictures i have to admit that i have not heard of even one of them except dune, which is a remake of the old movie i guess, because i have not been to a cinema for like 2 years because of covid. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Ziskinberg on December 24, 2021, 01:07:01 PM I'm not so familiar with this as it's not my interest in betting, but I love to bookmark this thread to see what the majority think would win in the awarding.
If knowing only the actor/actress and movies that has a good chance to win, I will just go with the heavy favorite, but I'm not it doesn't work that way, I mean there are value on some who are currently the underdog to win and that's what I'm looking for.

Also it would be nice if the OP could have a poll, because it’s would be easier to wager based on the poll results so if possible do add the poll. Well then, we could only choose which among these choices are better and worthy to win the award over the others. I just hope that the deserving personalities and movies will be awarded. I agree that OP should create a poll to make this more easier and efficient. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Doell on December 24, 2021, 03:14:39 PM Joker is the movie I've been waiting for and is the best choice to watch ,Joaquin Phoenix is a good choice but compared to Will Smith I think Will Smith continue to be an Oscar winner but the odds are very small I'm confused why Dwayne Johnson wasn't nominated an list
Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Boristhecat on December 24, 2021, 03:51:59 PM Best actress odds Stewart, Kristen 1.53 Quite unexpectedly, to see Kristen as the favorite for the Oscars. I thought she could never overcome that prejudice about herself after the Twilight saga: https://i.imgur.com/Zg9ylIx.jpg It is a pity that we will know the final results as early as next year - I am not interested in betting on such a long period. A lot can change during this time, plus I am passionate and I want to know right away whether I won or lost.

Which means, you can't really come up with an educated guess. LOL this is the first question that came to my mind when I saw this thread, the truth is that the majority of the movies being produced right now are of a very low quality and cannot compare to the classics of old, this is not nostalgia speaking, the quality has gone down significantly as now directors are using all kind of gimmicks and special effects in their movies instead of simply telling a good story, which is why each year less and less people watch the Oscars as there is no point to it, since they will give a lot of awards regardless of the quality of the movies they are producing.Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: ultrloa on December 24, 2021, 04:27:26 PM Joker is the movie I've been waiting for and is the best choice to watch ,Joaquin Phoenix is a good choice but compared to Will Smith I think Will Smith continue to be an Oscar winner but the odds are very small I'm confused why Dwayne Johnson wasn't nominated an list I've been waiting for this moment and I hope they would consider Joaquin Phoenix since it was a very good movie that I've watched recently. I don't know if Dwayne Johnson would be even nominated and I think it's just fair that he's not on the list since there are too many great actors that deserves the place. Leonardo DiCaprio is a great actor yet Oscar is just too elusive to him, I don't know why is that but maybe they have their favorite picks when it comes to Oscar.Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Mauser on December 24, 2021, 04:39:07 PM Thank you for compiling all the informations about the Oscars 2022. I love the ceremony, seeing all the stars and their excitiment about winning a small Oscar. It's the highlight of any actor in their career. What I find surprising looking at the odds is that there is already a big favourite for each category. There is a huge gap between the first three nominations. I wonder if we can exploit these odds at the moment. Without any official nominations yet everything could still change. Maybe buying some high reward actors now and waiting for the favourite actors until the nominations are made public.

I can understand when some values are promoted with the help of cinema (provided that these are various values and everyone can promote their own), but when there is more propaganda in "creativity" than creativity itself, it becomes unbearable. In addition, there is no question of any diversity - anyone who tries to promote some values that contradict the modern leftist agenda will be censored and canceled. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: johhnyUA on December 24, 2021, 08:46:39 PM Should I place a bet... best movie Belfast. You will lose your money.

Man, you should calm down. There is no any "sjw & lbgt propaganda" in this world. The only things is that we are wathing some change in culture right now. So, for some people it looks like "propaganda" or something like that.

Those were good, legit and spontaneous times when movies could portray the real views of the directors and from the public, without any retaliation fears from the enlighted critics' elite who are also adepts of the most envious, ranging and morbid ideologies of the world. I miss the times when movies' goal was to entertain and/or enchant the audience and not brainwash or put political garbage inside their heads.
If there were a movie which inspired me I would risk a guess, but I can't do this right now since all movies look lukewarm to me. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Oceat on December 24, 2021, 11:45:56 PM I can't believe Ben Affleck's odd rating is too high compared to the other that I like the most while some of them aren't on the list. Well, I guess things have gotten change this time as we grow older. I found Joaquin Phoenix as an amazing actor with his very complicated role in "Joker".
I'd like to watch most of the movies of these nominated to determine why their ratings is in that level. Long story short, some of these actors/actresses doesn't deserve to be in Oscar imo. However, I can name a few if who's who but it doesn't matter anymore since the list is already written.

Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: STT on December 25, 2021, 12:19:18 AM Joker is the movie I've been waiting for Last year Joker was up for the award, it was released early a while ago to qualify. Quote Release date August 31, 2019 Dune the story might not be liked by some but any epic created world movie of that type can easily win at least one award in all the various credits possible. So much work goes into the soundscape and landscape that actors perform on. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: bbc.reporter on December 25, 2021, 03:45:07 AM Best actor: Dicaprio, Leonardo Best actress: Kidman, Nicole Best picture: Dune Best director: Scott, Ridley I just picked my random selection on Oscar Awards as I am not yet watching all of that movies.

It is not a movie with laser beams everywhere. Dune is not similar to Star Trek. I reckon many fans of Dune would be offended to that hehehe. Dune is a high quality movie that is directed by Denis Villeneuve, also the director of Sicario and Arrival. The soundtrack is very good with music by Hans Zimmer who has won awards before. The cinematography is also very good. I reckon this is a movie made to be in the Oscar Awards. I also forced myself to watch Power of the Dog again. This time as a critic hehehe. It reminded me of the movie No Country for Old Men but a boring version. The cinematography is very good, however. The director also appears to be the favorite. I also watched Don’t Look Up where Leonardo Dicaprio might be nominated for best actor. I am not certain. The director of this movie is Adam Mckay, the director of the movie the Big Short. @mindtrust. You might be joking about the Matrix Ressurection, however, it might win best sound mixing, sound editing, best special effects or best costume categories.

Actually, this is what I am thinking to do this time. I honestly do not have any particular bets yet, for some reason I cannot fathom which is which among these choices. It’s as if I am not satisfied with such options. Anyway, I am planning to just wait the day before to place my bets, so I won’t have to think too much about it and be able to know the bets of the majority.

Not to mention that Hollywood is full of sleazebags and abusers so no wonder why they are falling apart. I didn't say that at all. Netflix is the result, not the cause. Hollywood killed itself that's true but I believe piracy also had a good part in it. There are thousands of people that download pirated stuff every day. Think about the millions of dollars those movie producers could have collected from those watchers. Some people say that those people are pirating because they can't afford to pay for it but I am not sure how true this is.

But I'm a fan of Keanu so I believe Matrix is a worthy movie to watch in 2021 In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with entertaining cinema, of course, the ideal case when it is entertaining and has a scenario like Forrest Gump. I think that films with original scripts now need to be looked for in European cinema or some other niche, it is rather difficult because to find out if film is good you need to watch it, but sometimes you will stumble upon real gems like this:The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2113681/) Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: decodx on December 25, 2021, 10:28:55 AM But I'm a fan of Keanu so I believe Matrix is a worthy movie to watch in 2021 Matrix Resurrections is actually not that bad of a sequel to the Matrix trilogy, it's just that it came 20 years too late. ;D As for the Oscar Awards predictions, I think I will wait for the official nominations. Nominations for the 94th Academy Awards will be announced on February 8, 2022, for now, the only official information we have is 94TH OSCARS SHORTLISTS (https://www.oscars.org/oscars/94th-oscars-shortlists).

Maybe her competitors are even worse this year? Actually I'm not an expert in acting and maybe she really became a cool actress. As for the bet, if the results were known tomorrow (or at least within a week), then I would not hesitate and did it. The odds 1.53 are too attractive, but I am sure that when there is such a short period of time before the denouement, the odds will drop to some 1.1 (after all, there are insiders everywhere) and there will be no point in betting. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Johnyz on December 25, 2021, 02:24:20 PM Oh my god, Di Caprio again in there. Please, tell me he is not going to win again. I am not surprised about the movies odds - for example who was the guy that woke up one morning and decided that the world needed just another version of Dune? Really? Is like waking up in New York and thinking that the world just needs another Italian restaurant. Regarding actresses, I dislike most of them and I really do not see how Lady Gaga fits at all even in a nomination. Leonardo Dicarpio is a great actor but as far as I know he only won once in Academy awards and that was on 2016 as a best actor for The Revenant. He has been nominated since 1994, and fortunately for him to won his first Oscar Awards. So for me there's nothing wrong to see his name again on the list.Should I place a bet... best movie Belfast. I haven't watch much Movie in 2021 because of the pandemic that limits theaters to operate, but still good to see many good actors and actress on the list, I just can't choose yet maybe I need to watch those movies first before placing a bet. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: STT on December 25, 2021, 07:05:36 PM Quite a few of the greatest actors never received an Oscar for a few reasons, many a brief career or just a lack of starring roles, possibly just bad luck with amazing competition each year they were nominated. At this point I'd say Di Caprio is lucky with his one win, I dont think he has to deserve another but he does make a hell of alot of movies and with good quality so one year he might get lucky again.

I'm not sure how the casinos put those lists together, but I don't think they're official yet. According to the official website (https://www.oscars.org/oscars/94th-oscars-shortlists), the Academy has announced shortlists only for these ten categories for the 94th Academy Awards: Documentary Feature, Documentary Short Subject, International Feature Film, Makeup and Hairstyling, Music (Original Score), Music (Original Song), Animated Short Film, Live Action Short Film, Sound and Visual Effects.

If I'm not mistaken, this nomination is still relevant and is awarded to various legendary actors based on their entire career and not films in a particular year. In my opinion, DiCaprio has already deserved it. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: bbc.reporter on December 28, 2021, 05:50:24 AM I have watched Belfast and King Richard yesterday and I can say to those who posted that there are no good movies released this year have been very mistaken. Power of the Dog, Dune, Belfast and King Richard are very high quality movies that deserve to win an Oscar in different categories.
However, someone mentioned that movies today are part of a LGBTQ propaganda and he is correct! That might be the political and social storyline for the Oscar Awards on 2022 hehehe. My favorite movie as of now to win best picture and best director is Belfast, however, according to an article in Screenrant, Power of the Dog is a movie about toxic masculinity and how this can be a person’s downfall as shown how a masculine character, who himself might be homosexual, was defeated by another homosexual character in the movie. When it gets down to it, The Power of the Dog is a story about toxic masculinity and how it can ultimately lead to a person's downfall. Phil keeps up this tough-as-nails, relentlessly mean persona in the wake of Rose and Peter, and it leads to Peter plotting against him just as Phil is starting to warm up to him.

It was beat out by marvel's Black Panther (2018) which took home 3 oscars. After that, comic book films were blamed for many societal trends in the USA. Even though comic book films are a global market, and not limited to north american release.

Black Panther won its awards only in minor categories where it was expected to win. In best production design and best costume design. The unexpected award for it was the best original score. Comic book movies were blamed for stealing much of the weekend box office numbers from many studios. Those studios were very jealous hehehe. However, it did not make the comic book movies better than the movies nominated for major awards.

Everything now can be digitally effect, Im a fan of Keanu since Matrix and mostly in John Wick. I wasn’t aware of the new Matrix movie since it’s been long since they do a follow up movie after the trilogy. It will seems to be a John wick continuation to me even it’s not. I might watch new John Wick movie first before I watch the new Matrix movie or will need to rewatch all the trilogy of Matrix in Netflix before I watch it. Maybe next year Keanu will receive awards now that he have 2 movies in a row.

I am a fan of the trilogy indeed. I have read enough reviews and they convinced me. I am not going to see it. I won't even torrent it. I only saw the trailer before the release and I already knew what it was going to be like. As I said I haven't watched it but I can guess that it is a SJW fuck fest. No thanks. Dexter New Blood is going alright luckily. I'm fine for another 2 weeks. Keanu is in because he don't give a damn about it probably. Money is money in the end. It is not his fault the story sucked.

I also want to note that almost 20 years have passed since the release of the previous films "The Matrix". Keanu Reeves and Trinity (actress Carrie Ann Moos) have aged a lot. To be honest, it's not very pleasant to look at them not so young anymore. Compared to films from 2000-2003. Agent Smith is also played by another actor. Doesn't really match his usual image with black glasses. So I didn't really like this new "Matrix". If about an award, then the "Matrix" can only have an Oscar for special effects.

I was able to watch the last part of the Matrix in only two attempts - firstly, the film is too long for almost 2 and a half hours. Secondly, it is not very dynamic and we can say that you start to get bored while watching. However, I do not regret the time spent, since I really respect the trilogy and out of respect it was necessary to get acquainted with its continuation, everyone who does not like the trilogy is better off not wasting time and passing by this film. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: AicecreaME on December 30, 2021, 03:58:15 PM Was there even a good movie in 2021? I don't remember I watched any quality movies lately. Oscar awards lost its meaning long time ago. Seems to me they are trying to keep this tradition alive desperately. Since there aren't any decent movies, they are throwing the awards randomly now. Which means, you can't really come up with an educated guess. This made me think of a great movie that has been released this year. I can barely remember any and if there's one, probably it's from Marvel. I can hardly name a few because some movies that were released this year are not just worth it to watch. Maybe it just appeals to me that some plots just keep on being repeated on different movies. But that's just me. Also, we have different taste and likings in terms of movie genres and plots, so the greatness of a movie is still subjective I guess. What we can agree with in terms of greatness might be the cinematography, film editing, sound effects, and camera angle, and the overall narrative. I just hope that this Oscar Awards will be done because it is worthy to celebrate the victories of the artists in the industry and not just because it is mandatory. Hopefully, they'll be able to produce more and more quality films and movies in the next years in which we could say that the whole production deserve the award. It's nice to award someone because they deserve it and not only because someone took a lucky guess or random pick.

Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: STT on January 06, 2022, 01:24:09 PM If you are a big fan of the original trilogy Its hard to remake an original without requiring or having further story to structure the whole movie around. The thing I took away from the original Matrix films was despite being an action movie it was also with a quite deep core message. Not everyone will agree with me but I believe a few have said it relates to eastern Buddhism and inner reflection to greater consciousness, not just a small theme but quite massive. I dont know who managed to put that theme into an action movie but it was well done and to say its hard to remake would be an epic understatement. Its safe to say it will not qualify for an oscar unless anyone can discern some technical expertise award especially. https://thetattooedbuddha.com/2019/05/09/there-is-no-spoon-zen-the-matrix/ Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: xSkylarx on January 06, 2022, 01:42:37 PM Hollywood died because of our sins.

Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: bbc.reporter on January 07, 2022, 08:49:46 AM @everyone. I found a website where movie experts share their predictions for all of the different categories in the Oscar Awards. Much of them have predicited The Power of the Dog to win with some predictions going to Belfast, West Side Story and Dune.
For best director it was almost unanimous for Jane Campion the director of Power of the Dog. https://www.goldderby.com/awardshows/expert-predictions/oscars-nominations-2022-predictions/sort/recent/ Also, another indicator for the Oscar winners is the winner Golden Globes. Last year the Golden Globes and the Oscar Awards had the same winner for best picture and best director with Nomad Land and Chloe Zhang. The presentation of winners of the Golden Globe will be on January 9 hehe. Odds are offered in sportsbet.io. The favorite to win for best picture for drama is Belfast, my bet. https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/specials/entertainment/globe-awards-best-motion-picture-drama/globe-awards-best-motion-picture-drama-61b9ad37056ce7a21d446b93 Best picture for comedy and musical is clearly West Side Story. https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/specials/entertainment/globe-awards-best-motion-picture-mus-or-com/globe-awards-best-motion-picture-mus-or-com-61b9adb241c9f9548586c8cf For best picture, Jane Campion. https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/specials/entertainment/globe-awards-best-director/globe-awards-best-director-61b9a90341c9f95e9b682d10 Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: acroman08 on January 07, 2022, 11:25:33 AM -snip Dune for best picture? although it was a good movie(and to be honest I am surprised that they didn't butcher it), was it really that good to be included as one of the top picks on that category by one of the experts? anyway, according to their prediction it looks like the power of the dog and west side story are strong contenders to win the best picture category.Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: famososMuertos on January 07, 2022, 07:36:53 PM Well with enough time of "presale" for replys this thread, I still remember the thread that was created last year .
Although I have already seen some like The Power of the Dog, the assembly very good, scenery, but as a movie, I don't know...next, I liked Will Smith's, it may not be one of WS's best performances but it is close by as when he was nominated for movie ALi, curious another movie related to sports. Don't Look Up is a great movie, I don't know if the release time allow nomination I think there is a limit for the films to enter for a certain year, but whatever the time, streaming dominates the trends of the favorites. For now I would bet on Will Smith, sure he is going to be nominated.

It was one of the best motion pictures of the year for 2021 if I am being honest. The film changed some characters to be in inclusion of minorities, however, it did not have a negative impact on the story. Also, those experts have made their personal choices on what movie they liked after watching them. However, if they chose to make a pick for betting, I speculate their choice would be Belfast, West Side Story or Power of the Dog. @johhnyUA. Agreed! But I am quite certain that Dune will be nominated for best picture and will win an award in at least 1 minor category Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: acroman08 on January 08, 2022, 03:51:09 AM Dune will not be best picture on Oscar.

I haven't both of the movies though. However, if they chose to make a pick for betting, I speculate their choice would be Belfast, West Side Story or Power of the Dog. yeah, I was checking further into their predictions, according to them The power of the dog, West side story and, Belfast have the best chance of winning.Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: worle1bm on January 08, 2022, 06:37:21 AM I agree with this because of the pirated version of the movie.

Oscars especially should not be based on torrent or streaming, as long as the movie is good enough and academy decides that it is good enough then I would say every single movie has a chance to win. I have seen King Richard on torrent for example, but then the power of the dog is on netflix so why use a torrent? It is all about the chances that we have these days.

The plot of the film is quite interesting and how to put it more accurately - not banal, not too standard. I think it will be the right choice if the jury decides so.

It'd be a failure to allow politics as the deciding factor especially, I think they, Clint Eastwood for example is definitely right wing but has won without too much resistance I think etc.
I guessed last year that Hopkins film where he portrays someone in advanced age losing track of things, that would qualify ahead of most other films in contentation because its such a relevant modern topic with USA generally getting older its a challenging topic. They tend to favor the film subjects of that nature imo odds will have their own bias but the academy is distinct from just purely being the votes of an audience who are not themselves professionally trained. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Boristhecat on January 13, 2022, 09:05:57 PM I have to say, I was a bit disappointed in the movie, "Dune" ...... I am one of those people who played "Dune" as a PC Game and I waited in big anticipation to see if the new movie is going to blow off my socks... but sadly it did not. :( Do you remember at least one film based on the game that was not disgusting? For example, the World of Warcraft is so bad that Dune looks against its background just like a creation of Shakespeare. And if we assume that Dune would have been filmed purely based on the book, then I do not think that the film would be much better. I don't want to offend the fans, but this is a very boring book and it is unlikely that a good modern film could be made of it. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: bbc.reporter on January 14, 2022, 03:55:42 AM The Golden Globe awards have presented their winners and it appears that those winners have changed the odds for the Oscar awards hehe. The favorite for best motion picture for the Oscar awards is now presently Power of the Dog from odds of 6.50 to 2.80 and for best director the odds for Jane Campion is presently from 2.23 to 1.25. https://sportsbet.io/sports/specials/outrights I am not certain if the winners in best actor and best actress in the Golden Globe will be similar to the Oscar awards, however, there are articles that say that if an actor or actress wins a Golden Globe, his or her chances to win an Oscar might be 50-50. Also, there are 2 winners each for best actor and best actress. 1 each for a performance in drama and comedy. - or sometimes it is politically motivated. even in the film industry, politics is also rampant. so you can never be sure of the judges' choices here. better relax, and watch. just bet what you can afford or better yet, not bet at all. most of the time, they will choose unexpected candidates. but if you want a lil bit of excitement while watching, you can select one or two betting lines. as i said, don't get too serious here. It can be political, historical or socially motivated. Similar to what someone has said, that he noticed that much of the movies he was watching has a LGBTQ motivated message in them. It appears that the message is a socially motivated one created by the people behind the movie makers. A storyline to manipulate everyone. During black lives matter was exploding in mainstream news media, many people expected that the Oscar awards would be won by movies with stories of black history or with an agenda against Trump. However, the winners were not of that manipulated storyline. The voters in the academy awards wanted that year’s presentation to be not influenced of social and political agendas and to forget the hardship the pandemic caused. I reckon China won the agenda war that year hehehe. This is what this thread was created for. We should talk about what is happening around the world and look for social and political agendas and see if they reflect or deflect in the movies. Also, find out what the mood is for these type of movies, if they are positive or negative and if the academy awards members would be manipulated by these political agendas or use the agenda to manipulate who wins an award. In any case, I shake my head when someone said there were no good movies created on 2021 because this is not true.

I don't want to offend the fans, but this is a very boring book and it is unlikely that a good modern film could be made of it. I really think the same, Dune was something that completely disappointed me, but seeing it from another point of view is not as bad as the Warcraft movie was, I honestly don't know how the writers can kill so much an incredible vision that is brought of the game to make it a movie, I think that for things to go well, the movies must be directed and created by the same devs of the games, otherwise I think that any filmmaker will never be successful with only their little ideas that do not have much to do with the game.If we believe that Dune is much better than World of Warcraft and the next movie will be better than Dune is a trend, then we have a chance to see a good movie based on the game ) Although my list of requirements for a film does not include such a requirement that it clearly matches the book or game - the film is a standalone work and if it is good in itself, then that will suit me. I guess the creators of (bad) games-based movies fall into this trap - they try to keep the game at the core and at the same time create a separate good creation, but in the end it turns out to be something in between (nonsense). Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: STT on January 21, 2022, 10:20:14 AM 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 saw it and I didn't think it was bad either, the truth is that they relied a lot on quantum physics to make everything possible, I don't see this movie as bad, they are not the same special effects that we are used to seeing in previous movies, but I think they love him and they can give continuity to a saga that for me is not dead, the truth was resurrection and before that I think they chose the best plot and the most credible, in addition the participation of many characters reminded us of the first film.I dont think they advanced the story enough, its more of a revisit to the universe.

Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: STT on February 08, 2022, 07:55:23 PM Maybe a side bet on who will host might be the most immediate gain, Billy Crystal coming back easy :D surprised nobody posted this yet :
Code: A host has not yet been named for the Academy Awards ceremony, which will take place on Sunday, March 27. The broadcast will air live at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on ABC. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: bbc.reporter on February 09, 2022, 05:08:33 AM @STT. The hosts for the presentation will be Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan. The jokes of Billy Crystal might not be funny and entertaining for the audiences of today. My father is a movie lover and he loves Billy Crystal hehehe. He has a collection of old comedy movies that starred Billy Murphy, Arsenio Hall, Steve Martin and other great comedians before 2000.
“black-ish” star Tracee Ellis Ross and actor-comedian Leslie Jordan will co-host the presentation, which can be viewed on Oscar.com, Oscars.org and on the film academy’s digital platforms (Twitter, YouTube and Facebook). Source https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2022-02-07/how-to-watch-the-2022-oscar-nominations-info In any case, the odds have changed. The Power of the Dog movie and director is the sure favorite to win best picture and director, however, the leading actor of the movie Benedict Cumberbatch is 4.80 for best actor. Also, Belfast was the favorite before the announcment of the nominees. It is presently 3.60. I speculate both of them might have a winning chance. https://sportsbet.io/sports/specials/outrights Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: FatFork on February 09, 2022, 11:56:51 AM 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.

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. :) Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: FatFork on February 10, 2022, 10:08:05 PM 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).

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.

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.

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. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: STT on February 13, 2022, 09:04:41 PM 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.

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.

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. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: FatFork on February 16, 2022, 04:13:58 PM The 2022 Oscars nominees are official and were announced a little while ago, so now it's time to start thinking about who's going to win and who you're going to bet on. It’s about a month until the awards, so there's still time to make a good pick. ;)
To help you with that, I have put together a list of nominees with their odds for each of my favorite award categories for the upcoming Academy Awards.
Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: STT on February 19, 2022, 11:56:11 PM I never thought I would see such odds for Will Smith, he has come a long way to do so well amazing! He was first nominated 20 years ago, he has to be a fair contender but I think those odds are over done. I do like him and the movies he has been in but I dont know its enough this time to get over that obstacle of a first win.
Only true way to judge is properly view the films and decide best then vs all factors involved, I would be swayed towards Javier as he has quite a pedigree. Quote King Richard [imdb] 26.00 Also does this not equate as a disparity, long odds on the film but short for the actor. Im more confident to bet these kind of odds when a film will take an oscar in several categories.

Oscars is serious event, but betting is fun. I sure think he is getting serious and at the same time confuse aswell in lumping the two because I think there is a big difference, Sports and movies can not go along or even players or key actors although we can surely bet on everything, we can not always assume that they can not go along even though we can make sports movies, and I agree, in movie's you would need to watch the whole movies even the slight details to really get the main point of the story, you can not assume by just looking at the title, or seeing their movie poster, or watch a quick 1 minute of the movie and saying it has a good story, or giving the plot of it, while in sports you don't need to see the whole game to see the results, for us getting the results in the sports is more important than watching the whole game, Right now I am seeing copies of some of the movies given, but I could not watch them all because it will surely depend on your country if they would want to preview it on a cinema, or having access for that particular clip, but I will surely make my picks, on this.

You should wait for Eurovision season and be again in laughter and awe. Also, what does everyone predict the Oscar voters’ favorite political and social storyline might be for 2022?

If we weren't torrenting the shit out of them, they would be still alive and kicking now. :P Not just Hollywood, it is same in every country, or maybe most countries, one of the greatest problem or rather, challenge the entertainment industry has is piracy , piracy is not just about fake copied movies on fake CD plates and all that, it boils down to downloading movies from illegal sources online too, almost everyone is a victim to this crime(if not everyone actually), except those who don't have a smart phone and an internet connection, the makers of this movies get nothing or gain nothing when we download and watch their movies from illegal or unverified sources, so truthfully, we individually contributed to the challenges the different movie industries around the world are facing today, so we really can not complain. Because of that, the best we got is shitty netflix productions full of sjw & lbgt propaganda. We are the victims of our own greed. Look how they massacred my boi. The Matrix Resurr... I can't even say its name. That fucking cocksucker Ton... I mean Lana Skorsky destroyed a fookin legend.

This is all a very corrupt (perhaps corrupt may be too much) a a system. People in the academy sometimes are old glories that may be selling their votes for work or compensations of shorts and is all about a show of sponsoring brands and product placement by the "artists". We should re-think if all this is to the benefit of the arts.
e.g. Penelope does not do theatre. That is where a true actress shows what's got.

This might be because there are rumors that are being leaked by Oscar voters and insiders on which movies’ nominations are getting much of the votes. The voting process has already begun on January 27 and ended on February 1 for the 9000 members of the academy. However, similar to the other Oscar awards, sometimes we should not assume that their victory is a certainty. The minor categories will show you this.

Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Theones on February 26, 2022, 05:45:13 PM I am going to bet on Belfast. One of the best movies I have ever seen in my entire life. These kind of movies are not made anymore. Very informative, educational, heartbreaking, moving and beautiful piece of work. Such a treat to watch and it leaves on your mind for days.
For actor I am going to bet on Will Smith – I am his fan by the time I watched the movie “ the pursuit of happyness” He did an amazing job in King Richard too. I like the thread, I will keep following it! Figures crossed – May the best one wins Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: STT on February 26, 2022, 07:24:34 PM Thats quite a commendation as most movies are popcorn fodder even if entertaining they are forgotten because thats the best way to watch them in the moment in an action way, luckily my memory isnt great and I rewatch lots of movies in that way. I do know what you mean what makes me think its in with a good chance and the subject matter being so controversial and heart breaking has to be ideal Oscar material. Its ticking all the boxes :)

Will Smith hasn't won an Oscar before, he was nominated for The Pursuit of Happyness and for Ali. Both pretty good movies, but he didn't win. Given that he is making movies and Series for such a long time, I would expect him to win this year. Nicole Kidman has one 1 Oscar so far I think, for best actress in The Hours, which was a long time ago. The chances look good that these two will win this year. Nominees have definitely impact on the votes. As for the supporting actors/actress and director, I don't know them really.

Who should win is Benedict Cumberbatch, he represented a very difficult character, indecipherable, mysterious, silent, full of secrets in a constant internal conflict that dominates "Attack of the Dogs" moving the pieces of that game.

However, because we know that politics, self interest or social narratives influence how the 9000 members of the academy vote, how do we use this to make our bets? This is why I was asking what are the political and social storylines of 2021?
I speculate if Russia’s attack on Ukraine begun before the Oscar awards’ voting process, I reckon the movie that might have the most votes or with the most attention would be a movie like Belfast. The American movie industry is overflowing with liberals and progresives who use the movies and awards presentations as a medium to deliver their messages and ideas hehehe. In any case, 1.66 odds for best original screenplay for Licorice Pizza is very good, I reckon. https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/specials/entertainment/oscar-best-writing-original-screenplay/oscar-best-writing-original-screenplay-62060d3ba4ec5bd31f06ae37 The movie was good, however, not very good. It appeared to be created by artists for artists who lived during the early 1970s in the San Fernando Valley area.

After reading the list of nominations I watched The Power of the Dog last night. But I am not very impressed with the story. To me Belfast has an amazing story line. That is super amazing and is very educational as well. I am backing Will Smith as well he acting style is amazing and I am his great fan too. I am sporting Nicole Kidman too. I will be waiting anxiously for the final day. Want to see if Will Smith takes home the Oscar this year. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: paxmao on February 28, 2022, 09:32:29 PM This is wishful thinking for me to be honest, but it seems that Dune has some chances, and that is quite amazing taking into account that there are at least a couple of movies about it and at least one extraordinary mini-series. I just love science fiction and I think that an Oscar given to a science fiction classic may result in more interest from the Hollywood producers to engage into further production.

Now, lies what kind of politics is within the Oscar Academy Awards. Cumberbatch is a very good competitor of Smith on this category, but we don't know the mood of the judges today. I watched Smith's movie, and quite good as well. But if people are looking for a much challenging role, I can really go for Cumberbatch. Once the results are out, we will understand how this Oscar's are panning out. And you will know if betting on Oscar's is worth or not.

However, it might win much of the awards in the minor categories like best visual effects, best film editing, best original score, best production design and in a major category, best cinematography.

Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Theones on March 02, 2022, 04:55:40 PM Was there even a good movie in 2021? I don't remember I watched any quality movies lately. Oscar awards lost its meaning long time ago. Seems to me they are trying to keep this tradition alive desperately. Since there aren't any decent movies, they are throwing the awards randomly now. Which means, you can't really come up with an educated guess. Definitely, the Oscar has lost some kind of adequacy in general. After the Oscar for the fantastic "Avatar" film, I don't remember a single film that interested me at all, so that I realized that it was worthy of an award. And the point here is rather that the cinema and Hollywood are gradually heading towards the crisis of the genre, interesting, let alone worthy films less and less. And lately, and in general one rubbish with computer special effects on the screens. @mindrust I second that because I too don’t really remember any good movies, but we have to select based on what’s available to us and this applies only if one decides to to wager on this. Also it would be nice if the OP could have a poll, because it’s would be easier to wager based on the poll results so if possible do add the poll. I am looking forward to watch all the movies, which are nominated for the Oscar. Last day I was watching, the power of the dog and I failed to understand what made it nominated for Oscar. It seems like things are already decided and we are being fooled that it’s the people decision which decides the winner.

It is only a representation of what is the best according to the members of the academy. I am quite certain the winners would change if we also include the fans in the voting process similar to Eurovision.

It also seems to me that the awards are distributed by prior arrangement of the jury members, and at the same time, their personal interest obviously takes place. In other words, corruption. And it should also be borne in mind that now the technical level of almost all new films is so high, taking into account the possibilities of computer scenes, that in this vein all films are equivalent. I sometimes enjoy watching Oscar-winning films in the 60s and 70s. Then they were deservedly marked by the jury, which, by the way, was then much more objective and fair.

So sorry for what has happened. It is better to have a self control rather than be having aggressive. Will Smith won the award for the first time in his life and before Oscar everyone was betting on Will Smith but after Oscar everyone was shocked for what has happened. It's not surprising if everyone is betting on will smith because the guy is a good actor but I can't believe that its only the first time where he won an award? the same thing happens with leonardo de caprio, despite of his good acting skills, he rarely won an award. What smith did in the Oscars is really shocking, no one expected that. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: coin-investor on April 05, 2022, 10:07:04 PM Why sorry?

Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Kasabus on April 08, 2022, 08:46:23 PM I saw a youtube speculating that the slap is just staged, because they say that no one is watching Oscars anymore, and after that slap, here's what happened.
Oscars audience grew by 555,000 after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/29/business/media/oscars-ratings-will-smith-chris-rock.html) Quote The Oscars audience swelled by more than half a million people on Sunday shortly after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, capping the awards show with a late-night surge. At 10:27 p.m., Mr. Smith attacked Mr. Rock after the comedian delivered a joke onstage about Mr. Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Nearly 17.4 million viewers were watching in the minutes after the slap, up from 16.8 million shortly before it, according to Nielsen data released by ABC. If the speculation is right, then congratulations to them as they did a great job on acting. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: STT on April 08, 2022, 08:57:01 PM ^^ Thats why he is not hurt in the end just like Chris Rock can handle a simple slap, I think he is ok and everyone was an adult its not that a big deal however upsetting for a moment, impolite etc.
Quote it could be the end of his career Its a million dollar mistake, put it that way if you like but also consider for a kid from a comedy tv show he done good already and he already had more money then he will need for the rest of his life. Its not really a loss, he'll miss a project opportunity but actors lose out on chances just because of their accent or a multitude of factors. No way could it end his career, not when you consider the diabolical failings in other actors. Robert Downey junior for example broke into a families house and fell asleep on the floor of a childs bedroom, he recovered from the epic mistakes he made.

Actor Will Smith banned from attending Oscars for 10 years (https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/08/entertainment/will-smith-academy-sanctions-decision/index.html) Quote "The Board has decided, for a period of 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards," Academy President David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson said in a statement on Friday. I think it should be a lifetime ban for showing violence around the world, the scene is very traumatic and it sets a bad precedence, he has a lifetime to regret his action and he needs a psychologist because he has an outburst of anger that he could not control. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: STT on April 08, 2022, 11:53:14 PM He could control because it was just a slap, poorly judged action perhaps but hardly worthy of any great criticism. 10 years only hurts him because I presume it means he cannot be a winner either which to me is not right but maybe Im wrong and he can still win just not collect in person an award. I get they have to disapprove of his actions, clearly but it was hardly an escalatory action. I dont see why comedy became about insulting people for things they cannot change and the joke wasnt even funny.
Where is the bet I can place and odds to see Will Smith win another award within a decade. Surely I can get 500 to 1 on such a thing unless its specifically stated as impossible.

Surely he was provoked but he didn't act like a civilized man to go hit Chris on stage where the world was watching. To hold back temper and not to go physical would have made him run away from this 10 years ban that I think is too much for Will Smith. That means it might affect his career and his works may not be nominated at the Oscar for that same period. In fact Smith would have chosen to go to court charge Chris for seditious libel against his wife rather the part he choose to show he is manly against Chris and taken his career 10 years backwards.

And in fact, this whole situation is already very tiring - how much news can you make from one event? It seems that this was the only event at this Oscar ceremony. This ceremony itself is of no interest to anyone anymore. By the way, judging by the videos that get into social networks, Smith really has big problems in family relationships.

Let's not overdo it, I would say that 10 year ban is appropriate and in the end he done enough damage to himself and his career.How would you have reacted if you were him? I don't know if you watched the Oscars, but he was laughing at the Rock's joke at first and only after he saw his wife's face he changed his mood. And hosts roasting the actors in the audience is standard practice on these ceremonies. Where is the bet I can place and odds to see Will Smith win another award within a decade. I wouldn't be so sure. Movie studios already starter delaying his movies (Bad Boys 4) and I don't see him recovering from this fast. After all, it's not like he won bunch of awards before (at least not the ones that reallyu matter) and that he will just continue with business as usual. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Mahanton on April 09, 2022, 12:31:43 PM The punishment was calculated appropriately, I believe. If you slap, you get slapped in return. The cycle of life sometimes. It is reasonable to wait 10 years. The first thing that came to mind was that he should not be allowed back. We have zero tolerance for abuse and for ruining everyone's night. But, Is it wise to constantly add fuel to the fire? Everyone makes mistakes and tempers flare occasionally. How would you have reacted if you were him? I hope this is a real punishment that will not be lifted in a year or two. And in fact, this whole situation is already very tiring - how much news can you make from one event? It seems that this was the only event at this Oscar ceremony. This ceremony itself is of no interest to anyone anymore. By the way, judging by the videos that get into social networks, Smith really has big problems in family relationships. done and those impressions of the public or fans overall would be totally on that negative side of things which i could not blame them off.Even though some do say that what if we are on his situation? Pretty much sure it would really be still a hard decision to be made off but since you are on prestigious event then you dont really have the rights on slapping someone in front of the public or internationally. Good thing that Rock didnt file any case or something or else that would make his problem even more worst.

They should uphold their decision or they will be a laughing stock, of all the Oscars this is the biggest hit all over the world, it overshadowed everything even the Russian - Ukraine war, it's the first it happen on an awarding night, this incident will haunt Will Smith for the rest of his life, I have total respect to Chris Rock for being so professional and not making it worse, he is still processing what happened because Will Smith is an old friend and getting hit by a friend in front of millions is really hard to process. Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Theones on April 10, 2022, 12:42:03 PM Will Smith's Many speculation that is just a montage, no one is a secret that in Los Angeles and Hollywood have their very murky things and that when they are thrown into the world, it makes their lives pains if you want, some become crazy , others kill them and then they say that they committed suicide, we have the case where some have left unharmed but with certain dismembered things in their lives, such as: Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves, I would hate Qeu Will Smith starts to go wrong. Hoolywood is the place of scriptwriting, drama and scandal creation, so I'm surprised that anyone believes that what Will Smith did could be real. I would be surprised if the Oscars were held without an incident that the whole world would talk about. This is life, we run for something, power, fame and money and we find everything use less in the other moment, this is the true meaning of life.

I second this - no-one can dare to say anything which is not in script. And no-one can dare to walk to the stage to do this act. The best one can do is walk out from the place. But the anchor was composed after being slapped, there was no expression of stress or disrespect on his face. Oscars audience grew by 555,000 after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.

At 10:27 p.m., Mr. Smith attacked Mr. Rock after the comedian delivered a joke onstage about Mr. Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Nearly 17.4 million viewers were watching in the minutes after the slap, up from 16.8 million shortly before it, according to Nielsen data released by ABC. If the speculation is right, then congratulations to them as they did a great job on acting.

Maybe it makes sense as it became the most trending news right after what happened. Both have played their part well and have created a deep impact on the audience. But how about the sanctions that have made by the OSCARS committee? Are they all fake and scripted? I guess the OSCARS will have to do it all alone.Oscars audience grew by 555,000 after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.

You didn't do anything bad bruh, it was will smith that acted sour. Self control is a must especially on this kind of place or event because it was Oscars, it's prestigious. It's okay to become aggressive but it must be done only on right places, like in the backstage where no camera is present and no crowd is watching. It's not surprising if everyone is betting on will smith because the guy is a good actor but I can't believe that its only the first time where he won an award? the same thing happens with leonardo de caprio, despite of his good acting skills, he rarely won an award. What smith did in the Oscars is really shocking, no one expected that. I believe that is to gain following and nothing else. HAd that had happened at the backstage. No One would have learnt that it had happened. I believe back stage could have cameras, it was an Oscar and anything would have been a news item. Even if the cameras didn't pick it back stage but it would have appeared somehow to the public as rumour maybe leaving the public to run a guess and doubt on it. Well it was in public , Smith went really below the belt for someone of his pedigree. He is lucky Chris is not filing a case against him. He should have controlled his temper even though that joke turns out to be that offensive for his part but its not really truly a behavior of a true professional. There would be no problems if he had just let it pass away but well we do have different level of tolerance which we could not really stop on some point or scenario. Nailed it. Be it on stage or off stage. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Be it done in front of everyone or be it done in private. Also, as mentioned by other member, that his personal life was affected. We never know what a person is going through. Let’s forgive him Title: Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread Post by: Naficopa on April 11, 2022, 12:09:15 PM On a side note - that incident is selling and they are getting fame and ranking.

It seems that Will Smith's show at the Oscars alone garnered more attention than all the movies that entered the competition. And all in all, I would probably not be surprised, if it were not for the fact that Will Smith is a very good actor, Hollywood is a place of many scandals, so I have no doubt that everything was directed according to the script. |
