Best bets
The Professor
Academy Awards - Best Actor - Austin Butler and Colin Farrell
It was a strong betting opportunity two weeks ago for our previous podcast. Deliciously, the prices have lengthened.
Farrell will win the Golden Globe, and expect a momentum increase and price decrease to win the Best Actor Oscar.
Butler is also campaigning positively, and with a strong chance to win the Golden Globe, I similarly expect a price reduction.
For Farrell and Butler, the time to go shopping is now.
Academy Awards - Best Actor - Colin Farrell

Academy Awards - Best Director - Steven Spielberg
There’s a significant gap between frontrunner Spielberg and other contenders competing for the Best Director prize.
Spielberg is beloved. He’s due for another Oscar nod. The narrative cannot be ignored. Neither can the price, which should be $1.10 on Oscar Sunday.
$1.53 Bet365
Max Renn
Golden Globes Best Motion Picture - Drama - The Fabelmans and Elvis
Watch out for Elvis for an upset win. Steven Spielberg’s The Fablemans is favourite to win and should do so.
$1.70 Sportsbet - The Fabelmans
$11.00 Sportsbet - Elvis
Golden Globes Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture - Jamie Lee Curtis
Conviction is strong on Curtis to win this.
$1.60 Sportsbet
Golden Globes Best Actress in a Television Comedy - Jenna Ortega
Medium conviction for the star of Wednesday to take the prize and spoil victory from current favourite Quinta Brunson
$2.40 Sportsbet

Golden Globes Best Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series - Jennifer Coolidge
Coolidge is a 95% chance of winning. For a 30% return on investment, this is a high conviction bet.
$1.30 Sportsbet
Golden Globes Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series - John Lithgow
Low conviction play, but Joyce Eng at Gold Derby has Lithgow in the top frame, and this is worth a punt.
$8.50 Sportsbet
Tony Coca-Cola
Golden Globes Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama - Cate Blanchett
If you can get enough cash on Blanchett and Quan, make it happen.
$1.40 Sportsbet
Golden Globes Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture - Ke Huy Quan
$1.36 Sportsbet
Golden Globes Best Original Song - Naatu Naatu, M. Keeravani, K. Bhairava & R. Sipligunj
This is still a crazy price, and should be shorter at $3.
$6.00 Sportsbet
Golden Globes Best Original Score - John Williams
A best bet repeat from our last podcast, Williams is good value.

Academy Awards - Best Actress – Michelle Yeoh
Yeoh will win the Golden Globe, so grab this price while it lasts. The Best Actress Oscar will either go to Blanchett or Yeoh.
$5.00 Bet365, Betright

This price is wrong and represents a strong betting opportunity.
