When the curtain calls: The 90th Academy Awards betting guide

The award season for the entertainment industry is almost finally over, and the red curtain will finally be unfurled on Sunday at the 90th Academy Awards.

Perhaps everybody had a clear idea on who might be crowned winners on Sunday by just tracking how the nominees fared in the recently concluded 24th Screen Actors Guild Awards, British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards (BAFTA), the 23rd Critics Choice Awards, and the 75th Golden Globe Awards.

Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri wasn’t on every film critic’s radar going into the awards season until it won the Golden Globe for best picture, while fan favorites Dunkirk, Get Out, and The Post had been shut out from the category.

In fact, Three Billboards is now in a neck-and-neck race with Guillermo Del Toro’s Shape of Water and is considered to be an Oscar front-runner after it was nominated for 13 statuettes.
