Tips on how to bet on Oscars 2021
This year’s Oscar will not be the same as in previous years. Yet the format of the show hasn’t been confirmed, it is likely to take place virtually as the Golden Globes did. Another option is to host the real ceremony with nominees and their guests only. Anyway, the 93rd Academy Awards will stay in history as the most unusual one.
Films nominated for Best Picture and other categories are also of special interest. Thanks to the situation in the world, most nominees didn’t hit big screens and went unnoticed by the general audience. To know what films to bet on in 2021, read our guide through Oscars nominees and favorites in main categories.
Oscars 2021: Best Picture
As you know, the main nomination at the Oscars is Best Picture defining the best film of the year. In 2021, eight films are nominated for the award:
- Nomadland
- Sound Of Metal
- The Trial Of The Chicago 7
- Promising Young Woman
- Minari
- Mank
- The Father
- Judas And The Black Messiah
According to bookies, there is an absolute favorite in this category. By odds, Nomadland will win an Oscar in Best Picture. The film follows the story of Fern, a middle-aged woman who lost everything and decided to travel across America.
The drama film by Chloe Zhao has already won Golden Globes, main Venice & Toronto FF prizes as well as Critics’ Choice Awards. This is probably the most predictable nomination, so use an online sportsbook bonus search engine and bet on Nomadland to win.
Who will win Best Director?
This year’s Academy Awards makes history as two women are nominated for Best Director. Chloe Zhao and Emerald Fennell entered the top-5 which is the best result for female filmmakers. Previously, male directors dominated the list with a 4:1 ratio or occupied the whole nomination list.
This is how the list of Best Director nominees looks like in 2021:
- Promising Young Woman – Emerald Fennell
- Another Round – Thomas Vinterberg
- Mank – David Fincher
- Minari – Lee Isaac Chung
- Nomadland – Chloe Zhao
Following betting predictions at 1xBet and some other sportsbooks, Chloe Zhao is likely to win a statuette for Nomadland. If so, she will become only the second woman to get an Oscar for Best Director. As of now, Kathrin Bigelow is the only woman to win an Oscar in 2010 for Hurt Locker.
Cast/supporting cast at Oscars 2021
Acting nominations are the most unpredictable this year. All the actors and actresses have won different accolades and were praised by critics to reveal obvious favorites. So, how to bet on Oscars 2021 when it comes to casting? We offer to base on sportsbook predictions as well as Golden Globe winners.
According to 1xBet, Chadwick Boseman will win an Oscar for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. The actor posthumously won a Golden Globe for his last role and got an Academy Award nomination. By all predictions, Boseman will follow Heath Ledger’s steps this spring.
The situation in the female acting category isn’t so clear. Andra Day won a Golden Globe for The United States vs Billie Holiday and has good chances to take an Oscar too. However, such strong competitors as Viola Davis, Vanessa Kirby, Frances McDormand, and Carey Mulligan shouldn’t be underestimated.
As for the supporting cast, Daniel Kaluuya and Maria Bakalova lead the odds in their nominations. More Oscar bets are available at 1xBet Sportsbook and other popular betting sites in your area.
