2023 Oscar Awards betting and discussions

[bbc.reporter]

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) has yet to be released on december 16th. It was recently claimed that Avatar TWOW is the most expensive film in history with a whopping $300+ million dollar budget. Given that it will likely have a strong climate change and environmental message. The theme of it could align with current events in a way that will cause annual events like the oscars to throw awards at James Cameron and Avatar. The only thing Avatar TWOW is missing is Greta Thunberg and Al Gore cameo appearances.

Agreed and because much of these awards shows are used for political messages which climate change has become very much inserted by politicians into their own political agendas, it would not be very shocking if Avatar: Way of Water would receive more than 5 nominations in the Golden Globe and the Oscar Awards.

Avatar has made the top 5 for best picture in some of the sportsbooks, however, there are others that have not updated and have it listed on very big odds. Best picture for Avatar and best director for James Cameron hehehe.

The Golden Globe will announce their nominees on December 12. I reckon if you speculate that Avatar and James Cameron would be nominated for best picture and best director, place your Oscar bets for them before December 12 hehe.



The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) announced on Tuesday that the nominees for the 80th annual Golden Globe Awards will be revealed on Monday, Dec. 12. Lopez vs Lopez stars George Lopez and his daughter, Mayan, will be on hand to unveil each of the five nominees for the awards' 27 different categories live on NBC starting at 5:35 a.m. PT/8:35 a.m. ET.

Considering very very few nations are actually caring about climate change, and very few governments has done anything substantial about it, I am pretty sure that nobody cares about it in reality. It is a true problem, and wouldn't hurt anyone to solve it neither and yet for some reason nobody cares, so political agenda is not on that. Something like "look at how people mistreated blacks back in the day.. oh and we still do to native Americans but lets not talk about that" type of movie could get a lot of attention.

In 2022, we still see Americans not even provide clean water to natives, and yet a movie in 60's on how blacks were mistreated could get an award, THAT is a political agenda for sure. For this one though, Fabelmans do have a big chance, it's just movie industry in a shell.

@dezoel. I agree that much of the people in the world do not care about climate change, however, we are not talking about the world. We are talking about the Oscar Awards and the members of the Academy of motion picture arts and science who are followers of the idea of wokism, LGBTQ and climate change hehehe.

Also, betting on Avatar: Way of Water's opening box office performance is being offered in Coinplay. I am quite certain it will be over $174.5 million in America's opening box office.



Avatar: The Way of Water. Domestic Box Office: Opening Weekend (16th - 18th December 2022) - Over 174.5 Million - Yes 1.57

Avatar: The Way of Water. Domestic Box Office: Opening Weekend (16th - 18th December 2022) - Under 174.5 Million - Yes 2.25

The first reactions on the movie have been very positive.



More than a decade has passed since James Cameron blew away audiences with Avatar, and now the first sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, appears to be doing the same thing. Critics have seen the follow-up, which returns to the world of Pandora with even more ambition than the original, and it appears to be another technical and visual marvel. Does it also improve upon the story, characters, and 3D action? Initial reactions to the movie seem to indicate the movie does all of the above and, like the original, is another essential theatrical viewing experience.

The favourite should be the one to be awarded.  Steven Spielberg is one of the best movie directors ever and the Fabelmans looks like a great movie. My bet goes to the Fabelman for best movie.

[Slow death]

I hadn't paid attention that in the best actor list there was still Nicolas Cage with the movie Butcher's Crossing, honestly lately Nicolas Cage has been making some movie that, to a certain extent, are a real heartbreak, people don't even know if they're going to laugh with the movie or if you are going to cry with the movie or if you are irritated with the movie and or if you are shocked by the movie, I have been particularly irritated every time he releases a movie and I watch his movie and then I get irritated, It's something very irritating about his movies lately, I don't know if he has any chance of winning the Oscar, an actor on this list that I consider an incredible guy and Brad Pitt, he's phenomenal

[FanEagle]

I understand that the first movie was seen by a lot of people, and they did a reopening again to pass Avengers which was just a trick nothing more, it’s obvious that Marvel could have taken it if they wanted to.

However, that was then, and this is now, the movie itself wasn't as big, it was a big selling point for 3D movies, and ever since then we started to have 3d even on our television, there are literally 3d TV's which you can watch with those glasses, which means times changed a lot. I feel like Avatar will not pass 2 billion mark, and the only reason why it will pass 1 billion mark is the whole marketing on the first one and how big it was, nostalgic reason, nothing more.

We cannot be quite certain if this. I reckon we should wait for the winners of the Golden Globe Awards and the Directors' guild awards and assess before we place our bets on best picture hehe. Yes I understand the conspiracy where much of Hollywood is being controlled by people of Jewish descent and Steven Spielberg is from a Jewish family hehe. However, this might also occur very much similar to last year when Power of the Dog was favorite with odds of 1.49 when it was listed, however, Coda won with odds of 17.00.

We cannot be quite certain where the disposition of the voters might be during the voting process. Will it be for the inspiration of a director, for climate change, for empowerment of women or will it only be voting for a nice movie?

[ajochems]

Oscar award was the good impression for the younger people to the field. The sports had the World Cup for the impression, but the movie doesn’t had any tournaments. But it had the awards to prove the people for the encouragement. It also allow the people to get into this field by this award alone. Oscar award was the dream of the most of the experienced old people to the field. Many good directions get the best award from this.So it was essential one to way forward for the award to new people. Most of them are youngsters and they need of encouragement to get into the field and survive into the field for longer period.

Brendan Fraser - The Whale

People want this one to win because its his come back film but its not the best film nor his best performance so I dont think on these short odds its a good choice unless people really decide they think its better then all other choices, I do not.

Also, betting on Avatar: Way of Water's opening box office performance is being offered in Coinplay. I am quite certain it will be over $174.5 million in America's opening box office.

I'd bet on it being successful but the opening weekend who knows because thats a very large amount imo.   Does it only include cinemas and how many screens will it open would be the first thing to check on.

[o48o]

I've seen most of the films in there, and if "Everywhere Everything All at Once" doesn't win in some some category i really think that whole thing is fixed. It's the most absurd 4th wall breaking meta in every way. I don't think i've ever seen anything that even comes close to it. And i am including european obscure art flicks into it. It just works and doesn't ask permission if it should to do so.

[alegotardo]

Brendan Fraser is the favorite over everyone for best actor? I am shocked hehehe.

I am too... because despite the long career he has already built in Hollywood, he has never been nominated for an Oscar for any of his work done so far. But he was well acclaimed by the public at the Venice Film Festival, which takes place today, so I believe he should be well nominated and who knows, maybe even take the statuette in 2023, we'll see!

I'm also betting big on Colin Farrell's feature film, he received the longest applause of the event so far: there were 13 uninterrupted minutes of applause, if I were there my hands would be red

Changing gender a bit, I also believe that Cate Blanchett is the main bet for the 2023 Oscar. She is already a veteran in this area and has already been nominated seven times, winning on two of those occasions. I believe it won't be a surprise to anyone if she manages to take the third statuette of her career, I'm betting big on that.

It could be because Oscar or any other event is where the political agenda is carried out and for the message to be sent across the globe, Oscar will make AVATAR 2 win.

I doubt Farell will have a close vote with Fraser. The movie is hilarious but also has a dark comedy theme. One of Farell's best performance, he'll be nominated it's just unfortunate that he is competing with the most relatable movie for the population today which is the Whale.

Brendan Fraser - The Whale

People want this one to win because its his come back film but its not the best film nor his best performance so I dont think on these short odds its a good choice unless people really decide they think its better then all other choices, I do not.

Agreed! This might be speculation based on his performance and an LGBTQ storyline hehe. The movie is about a husband, played by Brendan Fraser, who left his family to go with another man and when the boyfriend of the Brendan Fraser's character died he became very depressed and very fat.

I reckon for best actor and best actress we should wait for the winners of the Screen Actors Guild awards and assess. This will be on February 25.

[Rikafip]

Isn't almost 3 months before nominees being announced a little bit too early to start this thread?

Anyway, from the movies I've seen so far I would say that Cate Blanchett winning an Oscar for her role in Tar is a sure bet, she was great. 1.8 is an excellent odd that will surely go down significantly as we come close to the nomination announcement. I see that Michelle Yeoh is 2nd favorite at the moment for a Best Actress award, while I couldn't finish Everything Everywhere All At Once, it was just too much for me. Attack on the senses is a best description of that movie.

[FanEagle]

Honestly I do not know or watched the Whale yet, and considering it hasn't been on screen for that long, I am not sure how you guys watched the whole movie already, it's not available on even torrent websites yet.

Weird to accuse of Brandon Frasier to be taking advantage of anything political when the dude gained so much weight just for a movie, and played with both that much extra weight AND also protesthetics just too look even fatter and got like 10+ minute applause for his acting. I am not saying he will win, all I am saying is that someone else may win, but if he does end up winning then I am sure it will be based on his talents and acting and nothing else.

[bbc.reporter]

I am not certain why you tell me this now because I have been creating a thread for the Oscar awards as early as the odds are made available by sportsbooks.

You might have misunderstood. No one is accusing Brendan Fraser because he did not do a crime hehehehehe. He is only an actor in the movie. It is those Hollywood executives with their agendas who can be accused of using the movie industry to manipulate the people and spread their agenda.

[STT]

Its not too early for this thread because the films that could be put into betting will be released now or they wont qualify.  There is some debate as the quality of the film and its reception generally, some people will always hate a particular film but it can win anyway.  

so I believe he should be well nominated and who knows, maybe even take the statuette in 2023, we'll see!

I'm also betting big on Colin Farrell's feature film, he received the longest applause of the event so far: there were 13 uninterrupted minutes of applause, if I were there my hands would be red

Changing gender a bit, I also believe that Cate Blanchett is the main bet for the 2023 Oscar.

Fraser is popular man of the moment, just a nomination would be a big come back from the abyss and a nomination is a kind of win; they advertise nominations during film promotions so its a win for both company and actor really.   However I dont actually believe he will win, I remain unconvinced so far but we got time to decide yet.

Of the three I'd expect Cate Blanchett is with the best chance I've been a fan for 25 years or so shes done the legwork for sure & I need to watch Farrell's film.

[lixer]

I agree, it is 12th of march so it is not too far away and it should be known already who would be winning by just simply watching the films. Some of them barely get released right now and that is something I feel like a trick, you have like a circuit, a whole tour where the movie that will win the oscar usually released in a cannes or toronto or whatever and then you end up with something much bigger than that at first, and then just as the year is getting over, you end up with a release, in December or late November so you would win.

I personally feel like anyone who gets released in May rarely has chance to win an Oscar, probably they know it too.

i did watched the fecking movie i don't know why but probably because i saw this thread last week. its tragicomedy just as described. cutting fingers all because his friend still talks to him despite how hard he pushed him away is too extreme. aye the movie had won awards in Ireland already and Farrel won Volpi Cup best actor.

and the movie features the best scenery of the fecking beautiful island. best pictures if not. swear not to fecking watch this kind of film. avatar 2 isn't nominee afaik.

[roslinpl]

Marvel played a huge role in the movie field, they had a good enough knowledge to make the people attention to his first movie itself. Avengers played a huge role in the price collection and the award winning and box office. They made huge collections and made the history. Cate was opinion for the Oscar for most of the players in the 2023. People around the world support this cate for his unique works. Many people who win the Oscar will become a icon for their country for a decade. Many youngsters will come to their field by the inspiration of those people into the game.
