The award season is in full swing, and the biggest event of them—the 89th Academy Awards—is less than a month away. The nominees have been announced, and it’s time to start punting on who will win this year.
At Bodog, the likely winners are starting to become clearer. “La La Land” continues to be the massive favorite to stand out among the rest of the movies at the Oscars. With a record of 14 nominations, the Ryan Gosling-Emma Stone headliner is favored to win a few of the night’s biggest awards.
The romantic comedy-drama film, written and directed by Damien Chazelle, is the early favorite to win the award for best picture with an overwhelming 1/6 betting odds.
Previous award shows may have already affirmed the status of “La La Land” as the favorite in several categories, but they have also helped other nominees emerge. “Moonlight,” which does a fresh take on the issue of identity, trails behind with 6/1 odds, followed by “Hidden Figures” with 10/1. “Manchester by the Sea” has 18/1 odds, while “Fences” has 66/1 odds of winning. Rounding up the list are “Hacksaw Ridge” with 66/1 odds, “Arrival” with 80/1, “Lion” with 80/1, and “Hell or High Water” with 100/1 odds.
