Oscar Odds 2021 - Best Animated Feature, Short
Soul is a "lock" to win Best Animated Feature Film but requires a $250 bet to win $10 (the $250 will be refunded and the $10 would be considered a profit).
Soul follows a middle school music teacher named Joe Gardner, who is attempting to reunite his soul and with his body after they are accidentally detached, just before his big break as a jazz musician. Soul is the first Pixar film to feature an African-American protagonist.
| Rot | Academy Awards - Best Animated Feature Film | Moneyline |
|---|---|---|
| 1300 | Soul | -2500 |
| 1301 | Wolfwalkers | +750 |
| 1302 | Onward | +1800 |
| 1303 | Over the Moon | +2500 |
| 1304 | A Shaun and Sheep Movie: Farmageddon | +3300 |
If Anything Happens I Love You is a more modest favorite that requires a $27.50 risk to win $10 (once again, that $27.50 is refunded just as long as the bet is a winner).
This one is NOT a "lock", however. Opera is more of a value pick as you would bet $10 to win $42.50.
If Anything Happens I Love You centers around two grieving parents as they struggle to confront the death of their daughter, who was killed in a school shooting.
Opera is a South Korean/American animated short film. It looks at humanity (religion, class struggle, racism, war and terrorism) on a loop at a massive scale.
