Place a bet on Hollywood’s biggest night

You can bet on sports, horse races and now the Oscars

With the Academy Awards set for this Sunday, it’s always fun to try and predict who will take home the Oscar. Now, there’s a way to have even more fun guessing the winners.

“Live in the D” hosts Jason Carr and Tati Amare spoke with Andrew Brown about how to play a game to spice up the star-studded night.

You can bet on sports, horse races, and now, the Oscars.

Brown explained that Twinspires can help.

A game offered on Twinspires is based on the odds of winning at the Oscars.

Amare and Carr took a stab at playing the game themselves -- and let’s just say you might want to be on Amare’s team.

Warning: There are some game spoilers ahead, so if you want to play along, watch the video above first.


Q: Best Picture?

A: “Nomadland.”

Twinspires put the film at -670 points.

Q: Best Actress?

A: Carey Mulligan for “Promising Young Woman” with -112 points with Viola Davis for “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” as a close second with +225 points.

Q: Best Actor?

Twinspires says there’s a 95% chance he will win this Oscar -- and if he does, he will become the third person to win a posthumous Oscar for this prestigious award.
