@Hydrogen. On Dune if you are not a fan of the books, it will be hard to be a fan of the movie. Dune is not similar to Starwars where it was created like a tv soap opera with lasers, spaceships and as a marketing tool for commerical merchandising. It was a very good movie and it deserves the nomination for best picture, I reckon.
The odds for the other categories do not have their odds listed in sportsbooks, however, these are my picks. I have not watched some of the nominated movies. I might change my choices.
