It’s no fun betting on the favorites in the Oscars, so Max Liu makes the case for a trio of nicely priced bets for Tinsel Town’s big night this Sunday…
Best Picture – Roma set to romp to victory
This market looked aggressive when nominations were declared but, with two weeks ahead, Roma 1.58 is set to be the very first foreign language film to win.
Mexican director and screenwriter Alfonso Cuaron reached deep in his youth, and his nation’s political background, to craft this gorgeous film. What is more, Netflix have played a blinder throughout the Oscar campaign, emphasising the labor and specialized nous that went into realising Cuaron’s vision and their situation should prove persuasive here as it did with the Directors Guild of America, where it took the top prize.
According to the gambling, Green Book 4.20 is your closest rival to Roma, but it is hard to confirm when its manager, Peter Farrelly, didn’t receive a nod for Best Director. Just four movies have ever won Best Picture without a Best Director nomination.
The movie with the very best chance of causing an upset is, for my money, Black Panther 25.00. True, it does not have a nomination in some of the other major classes – directing, writing, acting – but it could acquire support in the Academy’s enlarged, younger and more diverse membership.
