Summary

We've been handed the envelope. The winner for Best Oscars Betting Show goes to... this episode! The 97th Academy Awards are just days away, and Action Network Oscars experts Chris Raybon and Collin Whitchurch have dusted off their metaphorical tuxedos to help you cash in. This duo of movie obsessives have been running their own Academy Awards projections for years, and the minor categories are where really earn their standing ovation.

With so much to cover, we've split our mega episode into two parts. In this special Part 2 episode, Collin and Chris dive into the incredible longshot value to be found across the more obscure, non-major categories, including Best Sound, Best Animated Feature, Best International Feature and so much more.
