Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread

I agree with this because of the pirated version of the movie. This leads to low income for the filmakers and it's not worth it to spend more. That is the reason why the cinema is dying right now: because they couldn't get enough money as people want only to watch it on their devices from pirates. Well, people saved a ton of money since it is expensive, but the result is that only a few are making movies right now.

Have to agree on this that there are so many pirated copies of movies from all versions of film industry and the rush in theatres for such movies is very low compared to real audience watching that movie.There are also torrent websites that upload them as early they are released for most of them and few days later we all have them all and people watch these pirated versions only.This has definitely cost the film industry a lot in terms of revenue loss but for people they just saved so much but strict actions have been taken against them and some sites have been blocked.But still they will be on web for users.

If you ask me streaming services dropped the amount of torrents a lot. Not that it is zero right now, it is still not zero but I believe it is not as bad as it used to be neither. You pay like 50 bucks on few streaming services and you would get more than what you need to watch ready for you whenever you want to watch something.

It is looking a lot brighter these days and I am feeling no need to torrent anything aside from maybe a few movies a year or sports matches that I have missed. 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 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.



Best Motion Picture – Drama
Belfast, Focus Features
Coda, Apple TV+
Dune, Warner Bros.
King Richard, Warner Bros.
The Power of the Dog, Netflix – WINNER

Best Director – Motion Picture

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. 

We should accept that Best Actor will most probably go to actors like Will Smith “King Richard” or Denzel Washington “The Tragedy of Macbeth” ...because that is the kind of movies these old farts like. 

[Distinctin]

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, I can't think of any good movie though that was very worth it to be included in the Oscar's Awards. I was even puzzled to see those names who are favorites and nominated to be the best actor/actress award. But yeah, the show must go on and there should be an announcement of who will have the award.
As @mindrust said, you can't really have the right judgement/guess on whom really deserved it. But my best guess for the best actor would be Denzel Washington.

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.

[delfastTions]

I think that the Oscar jury will also focus on Jane Campion's film, "The Power Of The Dog", because this is perhaps the most interesting film of those contenders who appear on the list for the nomination. 
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. 
In any case, I'll be a little better about the Oscars itself, if that's the case.

It is not a surprise if the Golden Globe or Oscar awards will have political motivation as many people behind on that awards will have different purposes. Yes, I agree that we should bet what we can afford or not bet at all so we do not get any impact losing the money. But if you place your bet, you may not have a high expectation to win and if you win, you should consider that you are lucky enough to win that award. The important thing is that we can enjoy watching the movie and place the bet, if we want, and watch who will win on that award.

[STT]

Politically correct would be closer to the mark rather then straight politics, there's actors and both parties represented within the academy I think.  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.

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.

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 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).

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.

@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).

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.

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.

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.
