“Spotlight” Oscar 2016 odds were coming in at +240 for a payout potential of $240 for every $100 bet or $24 for every $10 bet.  This promises to be one of the most competitive and unpredictable categories as “Spotlight” goes up against odds-on favorite “The Revenant”.

“Spotlight” looks at the oldest continuously operating newspaper investigative unit in the United States and its controversial probe into the epidemic sexual abuse allegations lodged against Roman Catholic Priests in the Boston area.  That series of reports ultimately earned The Globe a 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.

The film is up for six Oscars this year.
