    After watching all the Oscar nominated short films and watching all the other 39 feature length Oscar nominated films, I’m growing more confident with my betting advice. The short films particularly usually offers GREAT value from year to year. When Colette won Best Documentary Short two years ago, it was paying 9 to 1 odds.…
