0:07.0	Welcome to the Action Network Podcast presented by Bet MGM.
0:15.0	I'm your host Maria Marino and this is your Oscars Best Betts episode
0:21.0	because we've got the 96th presentation of the Academy Awards this Sunday night
0:26.4	at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. My guest today are two Oscars betting experts here at Action Network, Colin Wittchurch and
