And the Oscar winners will be …

February 9, 2020 By Hap Erstein

A scene from 1917, which Hap says will be the Best Picture winner Sunday night. (Universal Pictures)

New Jersey casinos have started to take bets on the Oscars, but you probably do not have time to head that way and place a wager.

So instead, take my scientifically projected winners’ list and bet with your friends and family or simply impress them by calling out the winners just before they are announced on the air.

Regardless of how you use this valuable information, do not write me back and gloat when I am wrong.
