For Hollywood's biggest night, celebrities pay as much attention to their red-carpet attire as their speeches. It's a night to leave a mark not just on Hollywood but on best-dressed lists and even make fashion history.

DraftKings Sportsbook director Johnny Avello said last year that his trading team relies on trade publications like GoldDerby, which specializes in tracking and predicting entertainment awards shows, to make the odds for the Oscars. He told ESPN ahead of this year's ceremony that one added factor is the continued emergence of prediction markets, which are perhaps more in tune with non-sports-related wagering and rely more closely on the movement of markets.

An Oscar is worth campaigning for. The box office bounce accounts for, on average, $39m (29m) for a film that is nominated for and then wins the best picture award, depending on where it is in its theatrical release cycle. An Oscar can be career-changing for below-the-line crew, and life-changing for an actor or director.
