Re: Vegas odds

Re: Vegas odds
Yeah my regular co-host had to bail last minute and I had to use my backup, who had to call in from his cell. It wasn't pretty. But he's quite knowledgeable and the discussion was very good I thought. Anyway, here's what I found while looking through the Nov.-Dec. release schedule (in order of poten...

Vegas odds
http://www.oddschecker.com/awards/oscars Of the six major categories, Leo is the heaviest favorite, as a $1,200 bet is needed just to win $100. Brie Larson is a sizable favorite at 1/3. I was a little surprised to see Inarritu listed as the favorite at director, and Sly as the favorite for Supportin...

Re: Reasons/blame for Whiteout 2?
One of the ways to help overcome this would be if those who consider this a concern (Spike Lee, Will Smith's wife, George Clonney) is to start up a production company with the purpose of making films that focus on non-white characters. Why is it assumed if the character isn't explicitly non-white t...

Re: Reasons/blame for Whiteout 2?
Thanks, Sabin!
I've been involved with a year-long fantasy movie league of my own creation for close to a decade. We do bonuses for having movies that win and get nominated for Oscars, so I wish I would've found this message board sooner. I plan to hang around and post often.

Re: Reasons/blame for Whiteout 2?
I appreciate the time and thoughtfulness that have gone into some of the responses. I do think the blame lies more with the casting directors, movie directors, studios, and producers than it lies with the Academy. There clearly were no movies with AA leads that warranted nomination outside of SoC, b...

New podcast
Hey all! I'm new to the forum, so I apologize if this is something that is frowned upon, but I'm seeking feedback on a new podcast I've created. It's called The Movie BOOBs (an anagram of the discussion topics Box Office and Oscar Buzz). Today we discussed the favorites to receive nominations for th...
