Best bets
The Professor
96th Academy Awards - Best Make Up – Maestro
Underpriced and a fair way in front of other contenders to win this category, this should be Maestro’s sole victory on Oscars Sunday.
Medium to high conviction.
Maestro $1.70 TAB
96th Academy Awards - Best Animated Short – WAR IS OVER!
A clear frontrunner according to Gold Derby pundits, this is an easy tick for voters, with the name recognition of John and Yoko boosting it’s probability of a win

96th Academy Awards - Best Make Up – Maestro
I concur with The Professor: a Maestro Make Up win is a high conviction play
Maestro $1.70 TAB

96th Academy Awards - Best Actress – Lily Gladstone
On the back of Gladstone’s SAG win, this is tremendous value.

All signs are pointing to a win here.
