However, when it comes to betting markets for the biggest awards show of the year, it doesn't stop at Best Picture.

FOX Sports betting analyst Chris "The Bear" Fallica plans to get in on the Oscars betting action as well. 

Here is his best bet for the biggest night in show business:

Best Visual Effects
Godzilla Minus One (-105)

When Takashi Yamazaki is a nominee in this category, one best pay attention. Yamazaki is well known for his special and visual effects and Godzilla Minus One is no exception to that. You might need to search around for places to get down on Oscar wagering, but I think there’s a nice reward waiting on Sunday night for those who do.

FOX Sports Research's Vikram Sairam also has a movie he sees winning big.

Best Adapted Screenplay
American Fiction (-175)

Movies rarely outperform the quality of an original screenplay, but American Fiction did just that when comparing it to "Erasure." 

The film does a phenomenal job depicting the satirical nature of marginalized authors who struggle in the publishing industry — a key core of the book. While there are differences between the two, the main themes of mainstream writing and racial stereotypes are thoroughly depicted. 

You are laying a little juice here, but I can't see any other nominee winning this award.
