Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread

[bbc.reporter]

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.

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.

[bbc.reporter]

@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.

[michellee]

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

Good to see DiCaprio is one of the nominees of the Oscar Awards

Dune is like a Star Trek with a laser beam everywhere

I am not a fan of that kind of movie but I just like it

[mindrust]

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.

[davis196]

I'm pretty sure that all the movies,which have a "progressive" and "liberal" message would win all the awards again.
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.

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"

@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 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.

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.

[Ziskinberg]

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.

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.

[Doell]

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

[Boristhecat]

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:



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.

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.

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.

[Mauser]

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.

Hollywood died because of our sins. If we weren't torrenting the shit out of them, they would be still alive and kicking now. 

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.

At some point in time, it became simply impossible to watch new films. 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.
