While everyone is focused on betting on the big game, we’re already considering betting on who will take home that prestigious naked gold man on Oscar night. According to the latest Academy Awards odds from the odds-makers at Sports Betting Dime, the magic number at the 90th Academy Awards might be 3 as Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri  is favored to capture three of evening’s most prestigious awards – best actress, best supporting actress and best picture.

The early favorites in the six major categories include:  Best Actor – Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour): 3/7; Best Actress -Frances McDormand (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri): 1/3; Best Director – Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water): 9/11; Best Picture – Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: 2/1; Best Supporting Actress – Allison Janney (I, Tonya): 1/1; Best Supporting Actor – Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri): 3/2.
