“The Revenant” comes in as the odds-on favorite at 1-2 odds, however, it is “Spotlight” that had odds of 2-1 and was the early favorite.

“With categories such as Best Actor where the favorite is priced at -8000, the Best Picture category is well worth betting in 2016,” notes Payton O’Brien, Senior Editor of the Gambling911.com website.

“The Big Short”, priced at 5-1, is worth a look as well since there is no true “lock” in the category for Best Picture.

The Best Supporting Actress category also features competitive pricing this year.
