It’s that time of year again when Hollywood’s elite gather with anticipations of bringing home a little gold statue representing achievement and recognition by peers and industry professionals.
The 2021 Academy Awards (Oscars) will be the 93rd installment of the coveted awards show held in Los Angeles annually. The awards show is usually held in February, but this year it was rescheduled to April due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Oscar odds fall under the realm of 18+ Entertainment betting with popular sportsbooks that offer betting lines on the ceremony. Entertainment betting covers a broad range of entertainment, including game shows, reality competitions, tv shows, movies, and more. Some of the most popular shows to bet on include American Idol, The Voice, Survivor, and other competition shows. Still, the Grammys, Oscars, and the Razzies are also popular wagering options.
This year several favorites are leading into the Oscars awards show, but nothing is guaranteed. Giving the nature of the Oscars competition, 18+ online sportsbooks are currently offering odds for top categories, including best actor, best actress, best screenplay, and more.
