Which Films Might Be The Favorites At Popular Sportsbooks?
Whether you're laying down cash at a sportsbook or just wagering with friends, 2021 is sure to be one of the most hotly contested Oscar races in years. There don't appear to be any hard-line divisions between movies like there were in the bad old days of Pulp Fiction versus Forrest Gump, Boyhood versus Birdman, or Green Book versus Anything Else.
If the Golden Globe nominations are any indication (and they usually are), this year will see an escalation of the debate over the legitimacy of streaming-service films versus traditional theatrical releases. When the global pandemic knocked most movie theatres (and, by extension, big-screen movies themselves) out of commission last year, once emerging forces like Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix began pushing hard for their On Demand offerings to snag as much Oscar gold as possible.
Odds On Favorites For Oscars 2020
Some of the most talked-about films and performances still belong to traditional studios. Searchlight Pictures' recession-road trip drama Nomadland topped several 'Best of 2020' lists, with high praise for director Chloé Zhao and star Frances McDormand.
Likewise, Emerald Fennell's Promising Young Woman is shaping up to be a description of the actress-turned-writer/director's Best Picture and Best Director prospects. The Focus Features thriller is getting a lot of attention for its unconventional take on the revenge picture, with star Carey Mulligan delivering one of the most talked-about performances of last year.

On the flip side, there are too many streaming contenders to describe in detail here. Just look up the credits for Amazon's One Night In Miami and Sound of Metal; Netflix's Mank, The Trial of the Chicago 7, and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom; A24/Apple's On the Rocks; or even Palm Springs from Neon/Hulu, and you'll trip over possible nominees (and likely surefire winners) in multiple categories.
As the statue wars rage between studios like never before, it's audiences who will emerge the clear winner in 2021. Unlike years past, movie lovers won't have to hit up the local art theatre (or any theatre) to prepare for the live April 25th broadcast. In many cases, the best of the best are only a rental or a 'Watch Now' away.
Odds On Favorites For Oscars Nominees
Hopefully betting on these films will be just as easy and, as they say in the trailers, coming soon.
