Emmys 2025 & Oscars Best Picture: Where’s the Betting Value? - BEST BETS - July 28 2025

In this episode of Lights Camera What’s the Action?, your trusted trio of entertainment awards betting experts kick off the Oscars 2026 season with a full preview of the Toronto and Venice Film Festivals — where this year’s major Oscars Best Picture contenders will start to emerge.

We dissect the early market hype around Ryan Coogler’s vampire-action film Sinners — currently topping many Oscars betting boards — and explain why, in our view, it doesn’t live up to its frontrunner status.

What does it mean that Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt did not enter the competition race in Venice?

We also spotlight Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, Scott Cooper’s upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic. While yet to be released, it’s firmly on the radar for potential Oscars predictions in the Best Picture odds conversation — but is it a genuine contender or a longshot?

Plus: the Emmys 2025 are nearly here. We review the latest Emmys predictions, look at value plays in the major categories, and ask whether any titles are being underrated in current Emmys odds markets.

For smart angles on Oscars betting, Emmys betting, and where the value lies heading into awards season, this is your must-listen betting breakdown.
