The Critics Choice Best Picture winner has won the Oscar four years running. The lead acting awards matched only half the time, two of four for actor and two of four for actress, so an early-season winner in those categories is a weaker guide.
What the prices say
When Oscar markets open, the arithmetic is the same as any futures board. A -800 favorite implies 88.9%, a +400 price implies 20.0%, and a bet is worth making only when you rate a nominee’s chance higher than the price does.
