Yes, only a small bet hehehe. It is also only a bet if the academy would allow a black actor to win as best actor in this year's Oscars hehehe.
Since in the last twenty years four black actors won "Best Actor in a Leading Role" Oscars I don't think that's such a big issue anymore, situation changed. What people often forget is that black American actors not only have white Americans as a competition, but also actors from several others predominantly white countries like United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Spain, France etc and all those actors gravitate to United States. As a matter of fact, in the last ~20 years, only 13 out of 20 Oscars in that category were won by Americans. I mean, it sucks that we even have to talk about quotas and stuff like that, simply let the best man win. Has anyone seen the worst person the world? There is a massive amount of empathy shown towards each character, for all their vices and faults. At some point, in the daily confusion and uncertainty of our lives, we've all felt like "the worst person in the world.” What a wonderful movie!
I've seen it and I agree, a very good movie. Probably the best one in International Feature category this year but haven't watched Drive My Car yet as its not easy to find three straight hours to watch it, even though it looks like my kind of movie. This feels like a bit of a weird year for some reason as someone who's an American who watches a lot of movies, I've barley heard of the nominees this year.
Part of the reason might be that film industry is more focused on dramas and not so big budget movies due covid stuff. Same thing was last year, studios simply don't wanna risk a lot of money if they are not sure whether cinemas will be open and without that it's hard to return the investment. There is simply less buzz than in previous years. I think there are several versions of Fistfull of Dollar already like that of Magnificent 7. Kind of western still. I like western movies espeically done by Tarantino.
Magnificent Seven (both the original and remake) is not a version of Fistfull of Dollars, but instead it's based on another classic by Akira Kurosawa, Seven Samurai. What's interesting is that Kurosawa was a big fan of American westerns (mainly John Ford) and was influenced by them so in a way westerns made a full circle. Regarding Tarantino, I liked Hateful Eight but Django Unchained not so much. So I was kind of surprice how some of the nominees in OSCAR were released on netflix and some of them are actually series.
Yeah movies from streaming services can also be Oscar nominated, despite some big names like Steven Spielberg being against it. Regarding the series being nominated for Oscar, I think that you mixed something up as Oscar is a movie-only award. Golden Globe has series categories so maybe you confused it with that.

( funny thing as I'm typing this message an Oscars ad just popped up on the TV lol ). I have seen Don't Look Up and absolutely loved it as well as a couple of the other movies. It's so hard predicting who's going to win. I'm going to try and watch a few more of these movies so I can then make an informed bet on all this.
In last two year - during cornoa - Netflix was the most thriving business like amazon. While the business where firing the employee due to corona - Netflix and amazon has hundred of job opportunites amid crisis. At least we all had time to watch movies during quarantine. I am hoping that many series and movies will be coming on COVID as well.

I will not say more about this because it might be offensive to some of the people of this forum hehe. In any case, I might also only be being my skeptical me again hehehe.

This is my advice on how to watch the movies nominated for best picture in order. You should begin with the movie with the feel good feeling and end it on the most boring movie hehe. Movies you can watch with someone. Coda King Richard Belfast Licorice Pizza Westside Story Movies you should watch by yourself. Dune Drive my car Nightmare Alley Power of the dog Nightmare Alley made me laugh in the ending when I watched it alone. There are some movies that you need to watch alone to take in the story and take in the character development.

I am telling you already - don't waste time watching Power of the dog. It is depressing, slow and very boring. I wonder what has brough that movie nominated for the Oscar. However Belfast has a good story and have an excellent cinematography. Wonder piece of art!

I do not really understand why there are so many laudatory and good reviews about the film Belfast? I think that this is a rather mediocre film, mixed with some kind of childhood memories of the screenwriter and some kind of local nostalgia for the old days. Completely boring and not very interesting film. I will be surprised if the academicians will award him in any nominations. I didn't like the movie.
Well, on a light note, you don't necessarily have to like a movie before other people likes it, remember the old saying "one man's food is another man's poison", this saying is not limited to food alone, it's relevant in almost everything including movies, it highly possible that a movie you don't like ends up being another person's favorite. Makes me remember even now, most of the movies I watch, my wife hates them, and some times, I hate some of her choice of movies too, for this reason, we mostly don't watch movies together. But comparing every movie generally , I did say all movies are good, it is us as individuals who choose which to like and which to dislike.

I reckon if a movie wins best picture, best director, best actor or other major award in the Golden Globe, it increases the chance that those movies or actors and actresses might not win in the Oscar awards. I am not quite certain why this occurs, however, we have witnessed this many times. I speculate Coda or Belfast might presently have a chance hehehe.
Seems like I am the only one who is keeping a track of this form - not much people are interested in movies and what is going on in the cinema - I watched another movie today - Don't look up. There are so many critics who are calling this movie a rotten tomato. But this movie sheds a light on global warming and how we take things so light. It's unbelievable but than this is really happening. There is something here that has a lot to do with what they want to sell us, I don't know if you remember that Donald Trump, when he was president in the USA, ordered all the money that went directly towards improving global warming to be withheld, because of how the things in the world these issues are not relevant, there are other interests in between that will always be above this, it is what I have always said, the business model for everything, so these types of films that serve to raise awareness sell us Other interests...

Green Energy and Global warming awareness today becomes a political tool already, I saw the news which its the Russians that funded these movement making US shutdown their oil drilling companies. Too bad now we are back to the reality that Energy is wealth and wealth is power in politics. Don't look up resembles what governments are doing today. Its a pity but its what is happening. While we like the next generation to enhale the air we breathe today, the objective is compromised by the desire in who governs the world.

I will bet for Coda. This might be similar to 2018 and 2019 where Green Book and Parasite won best picture versus the favorites.

I very much agree. Power of the Dog is certainly the most boring movie nominated for Oscar best picture and it appears there are bettors who speculate that the academy members might have voted for Coda as best picture. Maybe for you and few others here on the thread, but for me Power of the Dog is probably the best out of nominated. With that being said, I do understand that slow burn dramas are not everyone's cup of tea and its a type of movie you either like a lot, or not at all, there's usually no middle ground with those. I fall into former group so I enjoyed it a lot. I am personally bored more with mindless action than with anything else. it appears there are bettors who speculate that the academy members might have voted for Coda as best picture. The odds have reduced from 5.00 to only 2.15. As a matter of fact, CODA odds were 26 to win the Oscar when I started this thread (February 10th) so it means that people are massively betting on it. Despite that, I still think that it won't win award and I won't best on it. I reckon this might be because Coda won the Producer's guild awards for best movie. I will bet for Coda. This might be similar to 2018 and 2019 where Green Book and Parasite won best picture versus the favorites.
I honestly didn't expect that as TPOFG won both BAFTA and Golden Globe in the most important category so I expected it to be far ahead of the others, but I won't complain at the increased odds , as it went from ~1.6 to 1.8.
Fist post of the thread has been updated with the latest odds and I shifted order of some categories so it makes more sense.

That surely depends on the movie if the whole squad or family likes it and not for the sake of bonding, I mean the movie will be much more interesting to see if the majority of the squad or family wants it so that a movie won't be boring to sit throughout.

Even the boring movie becomes so thrilling that one feels excited that at least they spent some quality time with loved ones! That surely depends on the movie if the whole squad or family likes it and not for the sake of bonding, I mean the movie will be much more interesting to see if the majority of the squad or family wants it so that a movie won't be boring to sit throughout. I even enjoy watching it with my friends and family when we have some to discuss about the movie. Its is always a pleasure sitting together and have great time together. Also listening to the song together brings in so many memories. People shed tears while listening to the songs and watching movies they used to do it with parents and family. It has so much power.

This feels like a bit of a weird year for some reason as someone who's an American who watches a lot of movies, I've barley heard of the nominees this year. ( funny thing as I'm typing this message an Oscars ad just popped up on the TV lol ). I have seen Don't Look Up and absolutely loved it as well as a couple of the other movies. It's so hard predicting who's going to win. I'm going to try and watch a few more of these movies so I can then make an informed bet on all this.
Has anyone gone through the songs which are in the list? Some of the songs are amazing, but apart from everything - I wish and pray that the best one wins, bet it the song or the movie. I am waiting for the final day to see which one wins.

Maybe for you and few others here on the thread, but for me Power of the Dog is probably the best out of nominated. With that being said, I do understand that slow burn dramas are not everyone's cup of tea and its a type of movie you either like a lot, or not at all, there's usually no middle ground with those. I fall into former group so I enjoyed it a lot. I am personally bored more with mindless action than with anything else.
Was just commenting elsewhere that I thought Dog was a decent movie, but I just didn't feel like it was good enough to win best film (note that I haven't seen any of the other nominees except Dune). Big, big fan of slow burn too -- very few action films make it in my all-time -- but I just thought there wasn't enough other than good acting to make this memorable for me. Probably also as I quickly guessed what the secret was so soon (though the ending I didn't foresee). Anyone else think a foreign film could do another surprise? I feel like predicting Oscars tend to be more about identifying trends.

Was just commenting elsewhere that I thought Dog was a decent movie, but I just didn't feel like it was good enough to win best film (note that I haven't seen any of the other nominees except Dune). Fair enough. I watched all nominees except Drive my Car which I plan to watch in the next couple if days (not easy to find 3 hours) and so far Dog and Dune are ahead of the others for me. While I liked Dog more, I wouldn't mind Dune getting an Oscar too just to remove that stigma around sci-fi movies never winning the Best Picture award. Big, big fan of slow burn too -- very few action films make it in my all-time -- but I just thought there wasn't enough other than good acting to make this memorable for me. Probably also as I quickly guessed what the secret was so soon (though the ending I didn't foresee). Same here, guessed the secret too as you could really "feel it", but my wife guessed the end as well and managed to spoil it for me as I really didn't see it coming. Anyone else think a foreign film could do another surprise? I feel like predicting Oscars tend to be more about identifying trends.
Since I haven't seen Drive my Car yet its hard for me to say (another slow burner that I think I will like) but that one is not as hyped as Parasite was back in 2020 and even film's subject isn't something very attractive to the Academy which we all know is a very important thing. If I remember the odds correctly, Parasite was right behind 1917 so while it was a big surprise that foreign film won the Best Picture award, it wasn't a complete outsider like Drive my Car is. If it was up to me, non-English movie should have won the Oscar year before too as I still believe that Roma is a far superior movie and that Green Book won only because of it's subject. Regarding your 2nd sentence, I totally agree and it's been going like that for some time now.

I found it dull and boring. It is slow and is very sad indeed. but than again - I agree as mentioned above predicting oscars tend to be more about identifying trends. Let's see which one wins.

@Rikafip. Thank you, it appears that you did not forget to post the latest odds so we could know which underdogs have won the award hehe. My bets are Coda for best picture, Benedict Cucumber for best actor, Kodi McPhee for best supporting actor, Licorice Pizza for best original screenplay and Spiderman no way home for best visual effects.
What was the odds for Ariana DeBose before March? I think it was Kirsten Dunst who was the favorite for best supporting actress when it was listed by sportsbooks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myjEoDypUD8Will smith punch Chris Rock right on Oscars. I know this is off topic here but just wanted to update a bit. He was laughing at first I'm not sure what happen there. All of a sudden he just walk straight to Chris and this isn't a joke at all. Glad to see Chris didn't retaliate right on the stage. Will the Oscar invite someone like Smith after this?

Not really off topic, off script for sure. I figured that was a gag but they wouldnt have done the cursing, confusing because he laughed at it at first but maybe any kickback is cheaper then a divorce. If they are really desperate for the views I could believe it was just an act but what do I know and they arent short of views. Summary of the results for all bettors. Surprisingly Belfast did not win (it got screenplay), congrats to Mr.reporter ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Dune got (many) production wins, pretty big for those makers Jessica Chastain got best actress, good to see shes a class act ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) & Will Smith winning if anyone bet he'd get an Oscar 30 years ago you'd be a millionaire now https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/27/entertainment/oscar-winners-2022/index.htmlThe 94th Academy Awards were presented Sunday.
