La La Land dominates Oscars 2017 betting after 14 nominations

It’s all about La La Land then. The movie swept the board at the Golden Globes and now it has received a joint record of 14 nominations for the Oscars, joining All About Eve (1950) and Titanic (1997). So with such a dominating force in the movie awards category in early 2017, where is the value in the markets for the Oscars 2017 at Coral? Even though La La Land, directed by Damien Chazelle is likely to go and collected a hatful, it is highly unlikely that it is going to win all 14 awards that it has been nominated for.

So that leaves wiggle room. Right off the bat though it is well worth throwing together a double of La La Land to win best Picture and Chazelle Best Director. The value in doing that is that the Best Director market is pretty competitive and that will throw some value back on the double. If you wanted extra value on a treble, go for Linus Sandgren to win best Cinematography for the movie as well.

La La Land, a musical about a jazz musician is seen as Hollywood pandering by some and just a beautiful escape from the dark times of the world by others. Can it match Titanic’s haul of 11 Oscars? That remains to be seen but it is likely that it will bring home the award for Emma Stone in the Best Actress market at 8/11 with Coral, and the movie should sweep things up in the Best Song category as well. It was Isabelle Huppert who beat out Natalie Portman at the Golden Globes for the Best Actress in a Drama, (Stone won the Best Actress Musical/Comedy) after Portman had gone as favourite. So with the threat of Portman negated for her portrayal of Jackie Onassis by not winning at the Golden Globes, Stone should rule at the Oscars when they go head to head in February.

So where are the main contenders coming from in other areas? That will be Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight, both of which have received eight nominations each. Moonlight landed the best drama at the Golden Globes and and while it is unlikely to beat La La Land, director Barry Jenkins may have appeal to land the Best Director at 5/1 with Coral award for any punters who fancy opposing Chazelle. Casey Affleck already has the Golden Globe for Manchester by the Sea and is odds-on favourite to get the Oscar for it too.

The 2017 Oscars will be held on February 26th, 2017. Plenty of time for market movements of course.
