Seems like there are more important issues to spend time on, but I get that itā€™s fun sometimes to have a little distraction.

I will have to check it out :+1:

Thatā€™d be great and share your thoughts later. If you recommend any movie Iā€™d appreciate it too.

P.S. I personally think Janelle Monae deserved to be nominated for playing twin sisters in ā€œThe knives out 2ā€. She did a great job only by switching her accents, which for me is already incredible.

Did you watch the Banshees movie? It wasnā€™t a thriller or action film at all, but I liked it.

I donā€™t see why The Fabermanā€™s is getting so much love. Not Oscar worthy in my book.

ā€œā€¦more important issues to spend time onā€¦ā€

Bovada is a on-line gambling site. Of course there are more important issues than gambling. If you donā€™t gamble, why are you on Bovada in the first place?

Austin Butler will win best actor and itā€™s not close.

She is a very good actress. The first role I remember her in was on the second season of Prime Videoā€™s series ā€œHomecoming.ā€ I thought the show was mediocre, but she was outstanding. But I just checked and she also starred in ā€œHidden Figures,ā€ which was four years earlier. Thatā€™s actually the mark of a good actor: when you donā€™t remember the actor, just the character, like with Daniel Day Lewis, who becomes the character he plays and you just donā€™t pay attention to who the actor is. MonĆ”e is like that for me.

@StndrDeviant, I already added her movies in the watchlist, lol. Iā€™ll take any other suggestions too.

I watched the Avatar the other day. Itā€™s a beautiful movie, with all the 3D affects. Iā€™m sure technology wise itā€™s a peak of moviemaking, but The best picture? Iā€™d say itā€™s a bit exaggeration.

Dominic, any way we will be able to run parlays on Oscars or is it straight bets only?

#17

@Schneebs, Iā€™m not really sure, to be honest. If you want specific combination in Parley let me know and Iā€™ll check with sports.
