“Uncut Gems” Leads in Five Categories at 2020 Spirit Awards Betting Odds

The contest for the Indie Spirit Awards is underway. The winners will be announced on February 08, 2020, on the beach in Santa Monica. Safdie brothers’ “Uncut Gems” leads the way at 2020 Spirit Awards betting odds. But, it faces a tough challenge from big hits such as “The Lighthouse”, “Marriage Story”, and “The Farewell”.

Online sportsbook news in the US considers the Film Independent Spirit Awards as the Academy Awards’ younger, cooler sibling. It recognizes the best independent cinema and it showcases a mix of underdog films and higher-profile awards contenders. The Indie Spirit ceremony takes place one day before the Academy Awards and it usually gives a strong sign of Oscars winners. Accordingly, “Moonlight”, “Spotlight”, “Birdman”, “12 Years a Slave”, and “The Artist” all won the top Spirit Awards before winning the Oscars.

Without further due here are the top contenders at 2020 Spirit Awards betting odds. “Uncut Gems” received five nods in nearly all major categories. Another frontrunner is Robert Eggers’s “The Lighthouse” with five nominations. Whereas, “Marriage Story” and “The Farewell” are trailing with two nods each.

Electrifying crime thriller “Uncut Gems” favored by 2020 Spirit Awards Betting Odds

“Uncut Gems” directed by Josh and Benny Safdie, is shaping up as one of the very best-reviewed movies of the year. The film is exhilaratingly tense Manhattan Diamond District thriller, with a perfect length of two hours and 15minutes. It stars Adam Sandler playing the role of Howard Ratner, a charismatic New York City jeweler always on the lookout for the next big score.
