Roma was the odds-on favorite to win the 2019 Oscar for Best Picture but Green Brook is providing some nice competition and would promise a $30 payout for every $10 bet.

Directed by Alfonso Cuarón, who also produced, shot, and co-edited it, the semi-autobiographical film is set in 1970 and 1971 in the colonial Roma neighborhood of Mexico City.

The film had its world premiere at the 75th Venice International Film Festival on 30 August 2018, where it won the Golden Lion. It has received 10 nominations at the 91st Academy Awards.  Netflix had acquired distribution rights to the film.

While most books were offering odds of Roma winning at 1/4, Ladbrokes in the UK featured odds of 1/2.

From RottenTomatoes:

ROMA follows Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), a young domestic worker for a family in the middle-class neighborhood of Roma in Mexico City. Delivering an artful love letter to the women who raised him, Cuarón draws on his own childhood to create a vivid and emotional portrait of domestic strife and social hierarchy amidst political turmoil of the 1970s. Cuarón's first project since the groundbreaking Gravity in 2013.

Green Brook certainly has some value this year with odds as long as 4-1 some books for a payout potential of $40 on every $10 bet.

From RottenTomatoes:

When Tony Lip (Mortensen), a bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx, is hired to drive Dr. Don Shirley (Ali), a world-class Black pianist, on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South, they must rely on "The Green Book" to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for African-Americans. Confronted with racism, danger-as well as unexpected humanity and humor-they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime.
