This year’s Academy Awards, airing February 24 at 8:30 p.m. EST on ABC, have had a bumpy road, with announced (and retracted) category changes and an ultimately fruitless search for a host (the show will go without a host for the first time since 1989). But they remain the most high-profile pop-culture betting opportunity of the year, with competitive odds in many categories.
For the 91st Academy Awards, Las Vegas-based film critic Josh Bell offers his insights into the best bets in the major categories and which films should walk away with the awards—and the cash.
