Why Is ‘The Fabelmans’ (+150) Favored?
Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” is a coming-of-age drama starring Michelle Williams that earned high praise for viewers but wasn’t a critically successful hit. The film earned just over $11 million at the box office, although it was revered by critics for Spielberg’s fantasy storytelling and excellent ending.
Given the intimate nature of this film — it’s essentially a walk-through of Spielberg’s touching life story — there’s a strong chance it wins Best Picture, hence the +150 chalk status.
Other Popular Nominees
High-grossing fan favorites such as “Avatar: The Way Of Water” (+800) and “Top Gun: Maverick” (+1200) killed it at the box office this year but didn’t earn enough critical acclaim to earn chalk spot on the Best Picture oddsboard. Those movies are fun-filled spectacles, but likely lack the edge and messaging of some of the other pieces.
2023 Best Picture Odds: Our Pick
Everything everywhere all at once (+175)
It’s tough to bet against Spielberg, but I like “Everything Everywhere All At Once” to win Best Picture at +175. The plot is mind-bending, Michelle Yeoh’s performance is fantastic and the film generated a perfect blend of audience and critic enjoyment.
