Who is likely to win at the Oscars 2020?
According to Betway, Parasite is currently second favourite to swipe the Best Picture win, sharing its betting spot with Sam Mendes’ 1917.
While they share 3/1 odds, storming ahead as the most likely to win the top spot is Quentin Tarantino’s love letter to Tinseltown, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which is sitting at 7/4.
Joker is doing better than The Irishman for the Oscar race, sitting at 6/1 odds from Betway, while its rival has 7/1 odds.
As their nominations have not yet been released, it is trickier to tell which movies could bag the big prize.
Other movies in the running are Marriage Story and Jojo Rabbit, both sitting at 25/1, while at 50/1 are Just Mercy, Little Women and A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood.
None of these films have entirely lit up the awards season yet, with only Laura Dern of Marriage Story getting a look in from these movies.
The Oscar nominations will be released on January 13, ahead of the ceremony on February 9
