The film directed by the Spanish JA Bayona competes in two categories of the 96th edition of the Academy Awards.
All Uruguay expectantly waits for the night of the delivery of the Academy Awardsbetter known as the Oscar, to find out what will happen with the movie “The Snow Society” in the category of Best Foreign Language Film. A little more than a day away from the big night, what do the online betting houses?
Although it is directed by the Spanish JA Bayona and will represent, precisely, Spain in the Oscar, the country feels the film as its own. Not only because of the participation of the local producer Cimarron in the Netflix production, for the protagonist of Enzo Vogrincic on the skin of Numa Turcatti, or by the book of the same name by the Uruguayan Pablo Vierci on which the film was based; but, mainly, because the tragedy—or miracle—of Los Andes is a story of Uruguay, as well as the survivors and those who did not return from the mountain.
For these reasons, on Sunday night many people will be glued to the screens, waiting for the announcement of the winner in the Best Foreign Language Film category. And, meanwhile, many others are already taking advantage of online betting houses to try to guess the results.
How do you pay for a win for “The Snow Society”?
Despite having won 12 awards Goya In the recent awards ceremony—among which the prizes for best film, best new actor and best direction stand out—“The Snow Society” is not a favorite to win the Oscar to Best foreign film; and neither the award to Best makeup and hairthe other nomination he has.
In the first category, the favorite is the British “Area of interest”; while in the other section, the numbers are “Teacher”.
This is also reflected in betting sites, in which both films are the ones that pay the least; that is, those most likely to win. In the case of “The Snow Society”, in Best Foreign Film it is second in places like Betsson, Betwat and Betfair, and pays between 10 and 16 times the amount bet. That is to say, if you bet 1,000 pesos, you can win up to 16,000 pesos in case Bayona’s work wins the Oscar.
As for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, the film that tells the story of the survivors of the Andes and those who did not return from the mountain runs third in the race for the award. While in betting houses you pay up to 21 times the total bet if you win.
