Oscar Awards and movies bets and discussions

[dansus021]

I know this is an old topic but I just barely knew that there was an Oscar award bet, especially with movies and the actors hahha. So gambling is literally pushed into anything hahahha, I just knew that there is a gambling for president and vice president but now an Oscar;D.

But like everyone else yesterday I watched Oppenheimer and this movie is actually good the soundtrack is also good I mean I gonna definitely pick this than a Barbie movie heheheh But this is just my opinion.

I saw the title and thought to myself… Where are you all finding bets on stuff like this? I see these types of threads but I never see stuff like this or the presidential election on stake. Maybe I need to look around a bit more or something. Not that I would gamble on the Oscars but maybe something else interesting.

@dansus021. How long have you been in Duelbit's campaign? Betting on movie, music and tv awards has always been there in the betting specials category.

@OgNasty. It is in the politics and entertainment category in stake.com for a long time also. This is also very common for sportsbooks.

I have been creating the thread for the Oscar awards for 5 years, I reckon.

There was also Game of Thrones season and episode outcomes betting in this subforum. It was a very popular thread hehe.

[Rikafip]

He can win for best director or best picture, however, not the both of these categories heheheh. This year might be another unpredictable like CODA and Green Book.

Oscar for Best Picture goes to produces of the movie, not to director. But I do agree that its a pretty common thing for a movie not to win both Best Picture and Best Director Oscars. For example, in the last 20 years, 8 movies won both of those awards so there are solid chances that Nolan doesn't win his Oscar this year.

[pawanjain]

These are the odds offered by the sportsbooks. These movies, directors and later actresses, actors and other categories added are not yet official from the Academy of motion picture arts and sciences. However, if you are a movie expert or a couch potato, you might already know which of these directors and movies has a chance to win hehehe. Share your knowledge!

More important thing, where can we bet on the 2024 Oscars award?
On which sites do you prefer to bet as i don't think the majority of the sports betting site will list these bets.

The most probable date for the Oscar award is 10th March 2024 while the submission date of different categories entries will be somewhere around the middle or end of November this year.

We do have it on freebitco.in which is my favorite place to bet in events. My pick for best director would be Nolan as I personally like films directed by him.
Oppenheimer was one of his pretty good movies and so I think the best director as well as best movie would be both of these to receive the Oscars.

Yes but Christopher Nolan is also one of the producers of Oppenheimer. However, this is my big prediction for the 2025 Oscar awards for best picture and the best director categories. It will be one of the movies that will win both categories. The title of this move you know already heehhe. It is Dune 2 for best picture and Denis Villenueve for best director.

This Frenchman created some of my favorite movies with the best cinematography. Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049 and Dune 1. Everyone should certainly watch them. He also directed good mystery and crime thrillers.

[Rikafip]

Yes but Christopher Nolan is also one of the producers of Oppenheimer.

Ah yes, you are right. I completely forgot that he is usually also producer of his movies meaning he will most likely go home with at least 1 Oscar.

However, this is my big prediction for the 2025 Oscar awards for best picture and the best director categories. It will be one of the movies that will win both categories. The title of this move you know already heehhe. It is Dune 2 for best picture and Denis Villenueve for best director.

I have high expectations from Dune 2, and if it wins Best Picture Oscar, it will be the first science fiction movie to do that. Sounds unbelievable, but imho that's one more good reason for the win. Here it comes next Thursday, I will probably go watch it immediately on the first day.

All good movies expect Arrival, I didn't like that one at all. By the way, he will most likely direct Dune 3 as well (working on the script as we speak). 

[bbc.reporter]

@Rikafip. Yes the voters will distribute the awards and also consider the rumor that the Oscar comittee does not like Christopher Nolan.

On Dune 2, agreed. It will be very much similar to the Return of the King where it was the first fantasy movie that has won an Oscar award. Also, Dune appears to be less of a scifi story and more of a political story about families who are competing for power hehehe.

Also yes, Dune 3 will be about the book on Dune Messiah, where Paul Atreides kills 61 billion people for his jihad. This Dune series by Denis Villeneuve might not have a cheerful ending. This will certainly be not for children.

[Rikafip]

@Rikafip. Yes the voters will distribute the awards and also consider the rumor that the Oscar comittee does not like Christopher Nolan.

Why do you think they don't like him? As far as I am concerned, so far he didn't make an Oscar worthy movie and far better directors than him never won one (Kubrick, Tarantino, Hitchock, Lumet... etc) so I ddidn't see him experiencing any injustice yet.

On Dune 2, agreed. It will be very much similar to the Return of the King where it was the first fantasy movie that has won an Oscar award.

Hope so, but still far too early to tell as year just started and God knows what kind of movies will appear.

When it comes to rotk, I personally believe that movie winning so many Oscars was sort of compensation for previous two not winning as many as they should. For me (big fan of books long before movies were made), Fellowship of the Ring was by far the best movie in that trilogy, it was exactly as I imagined when I was reading the books.

[STT]

Oppenheimer seems the best bet to favor this time around for likelihood of a win.  There seems to be a correlation across a few award shows which makes it easier also.

also consider the rumor that the Oscar comittee does not like Christopher Nolan.

I wouldnt take that too seriously as a bias to that person in particular unless excluded without reason from nominations.   The amount of eligible voters increased to over 9000 about 50% increase in five years.  I'm not sure why so many new Oscar voters would appear like that but I think probably means less old guard attitudes and more respect given to unique talents outside of big picture reputation and box office figures etc.

Ive read oscar voters who are Directors then vote on the Directors category but any of the Oscar voters can vote for the Best picture so that is the most open, I guess the directors could all decide they dont go with Nolan's style on things.

Only speculation from the articles written about the Oscar snubs that have occured. However, I agree with you. Those movies that he directed before might not yet be the correct time for him to be given the most valuable award in filmmaking.

On the Lord of the Rings, similar to the 3 books being really 1 book that were divided by the publishers, the movie was also only 1 movie divided into 3. The voters waited for the whole 3 movies to finish before giving their decision. It would be very awkward to give the first 2 many awards then nothing more to give for the 3rd movie hehehee.

Dune will certainly be in a similar situation because these 2 movies are based on 1 book. The voters are only waiting for the ending hehehe. My prediction, the Frenchman will win best director and best movie on 2025. The early reviews on rottentomatoes.com is 97% with a fresh pick logo.

[el kaka22]

There needs to be some sort of change on how they decide on the winner. We have seen some very high quality movies that won it, but we have seen some super high popularity movies that won it as well, there needs to be some balance between the two.

I mean it is obvious that there are obvious snubs, like for example Margot Robbie not even being a nominee, I would understand not winning that is perfectly fine, but not even being a nominee? But at the same time Oppenheimer has been getting almost every single award up until now, which means that if Oscars do not give the best movie to them, it would create a lot of controversy.

This could be good or bad based on two things, would be bad because it would mean people would not give enough credit for Oscars and enough of these stupid decisions and Oscars will lose its attention, whereas it would be good because it would create headlines and make Oscars a big news once again, for something bad maybe, but I bet there will be some people who will support it just because humanity likes to argue.

[Rikafip]

Its true, directors vote for "best director" category, actors in "best actor/actresses" awards etc while all members of academy have the right to vote for the main award, "best picture".

This could be good or bad based on two things, would be bad because it would mean people would not give enough credit for Oscars and enough of these stupid decisions and Oscars will lose its attention

The bolded part already happened, Oscar award is loosing its signifance each year and I don't see this trend changing anytime soon. If anything, I expect things to become even worse.

The early reviews on rottentomatoes.com is 97% with a fresh pick logo.

Yep, initial reviews are very good so far and I am getting seriously hyped. The only thing I have to decide whether to go watch Dune on Thursday or wait for the weekend. Or maybe I watch both days. 

[bbc.reporter]

@Rikafip. Watch it a weekday if you are going alone, I reckon. However, if you are watching it with friends, it is much better and fun on a weekend where you fall in line and talk, buy your drink and popcorn while waiting for your schedule hehehe.

@el kaka22. The snub on Margo Robbie was the correct decision by the voters. Barbie movie is a big commercial to sell toys to kids that make them feel they need to be another person to be happy.

I think first watching will be with my buddies and 2nd (if movie is as good as I think it will be) with my wife. Either way, can't wait, its been many years I saw the same movie twice in cinema.


For those interested, The Zone of Interest in a good quality is finally out in "video stores". I have a very high expectations from this one, very interesting take on the whole concentration camp thing. Despite having 5 Oscar nominations I still kinda feel that movie is somewhat under the radar. 

[Saint-loup]

I don't know man, the topic is opened since september and you're the first one, since only 2days, saying she shouldn't be nominated in this category, and I haven't heard of such controversy anywhere else. She is nominated for the best Female Actor in a Leading Role by the Actors Guild for the SAG awards, she won a Golden Globes in a leading role category without any controversy  and bookmakers still seem to think she will get nominated for the Best actress Oscar.
https://www.sagaftra.org/nominations-announced-30th-annual-screen-actors-guild-awards%C2%AE

Finally, as you could see in the link below, Lily Gladstone won the best actress in a leading role award of the Actors Guild against Emma Stone, Margot Robbie, Annette Bening and Carey Mulligan.(Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role category, precisely)
Bokkmakers have then lowered their odds for her victory and they now think she has equal chances to win it as Emma Stone. Nothing seems to be done up to now.

That's interesting! The odds really changed, now bookies are seeing that Gladstone has equal chance with Stone to get such award. Few more days and we will see how this event goes this year. Waiting for another 'slapgate' incident during big awards like this. Maybe, that's one reason why like Academy Awards got popular because of Will Smith, not the winning actors/actresses. As people search for that particular incident. Not because who won those coveted awards. 

[STT]

People love drama for sure, the slap was kind of beyond belief like a movie scene in itself.  Kudos to Mr. Smith for saving the Oscars with pure attitude and he wasn't wrong in that the joke wasn't funny.    

for president and vice president but now an Oscar;D.

But like everyone else yesterday I watched Oppenheimer and this movie is actually good the soundtrack is also good I mean I gonna definitely pick this than a Barbie movie heheheh But this is just my opinion.

Gambling for everything, if we can bet about marbles and pennies against the wall we can bet on anything.  Oscars is a big deal that people talk about for years after with what won how big, it matters.     We perhaps could use a playlist for music category to decide but as with every category its hard to realize their particular perspective on what defines a winning pick.   Usually there is an extra element to the choices like a cause of some kind or greater theme imo

I want Emma Stone to win hehehehehee! The Hollywood agenda should not be victorious!

I am onlyjoking. I reckon this is Lily Gladstone's oscar already, congratulations.

You watch with your buddies first then on the second viewing the wife does not know that you watched the movie with your buddies already and you pretend that everything is new for you?

In any case, the odds on Oppenheimer for best picture was reduced to 1.08. This occurred after the voting process finished on February 27. I appears that Christopher Nolan might win best director and best movie.

For the presidential election, I knew it from my friend and the gambling sites are local But i don't know if this exists in other sites.

How long have you been in Duelbit's campaign? Betting on movie, music and tv awards has always been there in the betting specials category.

I am just new here and Duelbit has a lot of games but I only tried a few haha like of course my favorite games are Crash Mines and Plinko. So gambling like really push into anything nowadays right
