One of these best picture nominees are clamoring for Oscar. Which has the best odds? |
It is that
time of year once again.
The cream
of the crop will be gathering shortly in Hollywood to celebrate the best in
film at the Academy Awards. Celebrities of all ages (have you seen the best
actress slate?) will walk the red carpet into the Dolby Theater and wait
anxiously to hear if their name will be called to take home Oscar.
Meanwhile,
people are glued to their television looking over their mock ballot seeing who
they picked in their office pool. Some people pick their ballots based on what
the few best picture nominees they’ve seen, others, like me, go all out to see
all of the nominees and follow the Oscar race like a hawk.
While some
races appear to be all sewn up, there are a few that are still wide open, and
some that are really close. With all of the major precursor awards handed out,
predicting who Oscar will go home with is a little bit easier. Let’s take a
look at the top races and see what your safest bet is in your office pool.
