Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread

[bbc.reporter]

It is obvious that any competition where there are subjective assessments is corrupt to one degree or another, since each jury member pursues his own interests. But I think that most people understand this and do not take this competition seriously - it's just a corporate distribution of awards.

There was a time in which these awards were taken way more seriously, as you say it is impossible that in something that is so subjective there is not going to be some sort of corruption, but at least there was some agreement between the critics in the population about the most important awards, however now the distance between those parties is so big that the public in general is losing interest in the awards as they do not see themselves reflected in the opinion of the critics.

This is quite logical. I'm used to the situation (I consider it normal) when experts represent the opinion of the majority or at least different cultural strata. But when experts exist in a vacuum and give each other awards for all sorts of bullshit like the Malevich square (just for example), it starts to piss me off and I stop paying attention to them.

Agreed. I reckon the Oscar awards are not the real representation of what is the best. The voting process is always mixed with politics and what is the social message of the year. 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.

In any case, my best picture of 2021 would be Coda, best actor would be Tyrion Lannister hehe, best actress would be Emilia Jones and best director would Denis Villenueve.

I, too, began to treat the Oscars with a great deal of skepticism. 
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. 

In 2021, for some reason, I think that I deserve the "Power Of The Dog" award???

Odds for the Oscar Awards 2022 are presently now available in different sportsbooks.

...//,,,,

Best actor odds

Smith, Will 1.33
Cumberbatch, Benedict 4.40
Garfield, Andrew 7.00
Washington, Denzel 23.00
Bardem, Javier 41.00

....//...::

These odds have already dropped to 1.10

...//...::,,,
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.

...//...::

I would cross bet here given the odds with Cumberbatch, Benedict 4.40 now 6.00 according to the source referenced in the OP. Who doesn't want WS to finally win the academy award but something tells me there may be surprises, WS has had his disagreements with the academy.

Excellent, I think that would also be my favorite and the winner, although for this the ending was not up to par, I think the writers did not know how to take advantage of the goose that lays the golden eggs, and this time everything got out of control, personally I am one of the people who was most upset after seeing that, the chapter that I liked the most was the famous one: "Not today", finally since you name it, do you know if the book was already released? I would like to know the end well, the true end.

Does anyone already know what Will Smith's sanction is?

Those who placed a bet on Coda has a real insight into the event. Also many people were talking about Will Smith and he won - but what he did was not liked and admired by the people many people believe that this is scripted what do you think about it?

Also with the social and political influence we got to know that there are scripted events as well. I am not willinging to agree that Will Smith incident is not scripted.
The whole drama was part to script to gain following to the dying event.

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.

I don't know if it seems normal for you that one person slap another on such context worldwide.
there are lawyers and a law, a gesture like that it is primitive, and any of us (or just anyone) reacting in a similar way in daily life would have a lot of negative consequences ...

The act of Will Smith was definitely unacceptable and there should be a disciplinary action, either suspension, expulsion, or any other sanctions because what he did was clearly against The Academy's Standards of Conduct. Although Will Smith made an apology to Chris Rock, but i think it's not enough. He should still be given proper sanctions and be responsible of his own action.

In other forums - I spoke so high about WS and many people were of the opinion that Will Smith should win the award for his honesty to the acting industry. But in my opinion he will not be punished what he did because like many others I also believe that this was a scripted plot.

Agreed -  in  many other forums - a huge number of  people believed that it was a scripted incident. How can someone dare to make a lame joke in such a big event? - I am not an expert but does the script not being pre approved by the concerned before they finally come to stage.

I cannot say with surety if this was a scripted plot or a real event. If this was scripted, then why right after the slapping incident, the mikes were closed? We saw Will smith abusing to his full throat at the host but could not hear because the mic was muted at that time.
If he did it deliberately, he should be punished for it otherwise it will become a routine in live events.

Based on his recent posts he is very sorry for what he did some of his projects are on hold like the Bad Guys movie and the one with Netflix he also resigned from the Oscars, the incident di Will Smith more harm than Chris Rock, he is exposed as a violent mind nobody wants to be associated with Will Smith right now, the man is wrecked, there's a lot of jokes right now about Will Smith.

So all these things prove that Will Smith did it intentionally. Since he is sorry for what he did, this shows that all this happened because of his emotions.
Social media is filled with Memes for both Will Smith and Chris Rock, as some people are enjoying the moment while others are showing deep concerns over the incident.

That was the ultimate plan. To get recognition and let people know who got which award. So everyone knows that Will Smith won the best actors award and what has happened in the show and the memes got popular and people started talking about the dying event. Hence a success.

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.

This reminds me of what happened in one of the Miss Universe pageants in which supposedly the announcer read the card wrong and announced the wrong winner only to have to correct himself after a few minutes, if I am not mistaken I think that was the first pageant after Trump sold his rights to the organization, so they needed to make an impact and in my opinion this was the way they decided do it, so I see what happened with Smith in the same way.

Once do impression do change then it would really be for a lifetime or wont really be forgotten specially for this kind of aggressive behavior.He's not only affecting his own image but also into the opportunities attached

to it which means it is the consequences on what he had done.He might be sorry but it is really too late because that would really be giving out the impression that would really last for a lifetime.
Thats why you should think first before making any actions because you wont know that it would really be costing something which you didnt expect for it to happen.

Why sorry? 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.
