The possibility of the film "Parasite" winning the Academy Award (Oscar) for Best Picture was predicted at 1 in 10 on the American film award betting site GoldDerby.com. According to the site on the 20th (local time), "Parasite" ranks third in winning probability, following "1917" and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" (both at 1 in 9).

This result is based on votes from film critics, various media editors, and site users. The gap between the three films is not large, so a close contest is expected until the end. In fact, the winning chances of "Parasite" have shown a gradual upward curve throughout the awards season. Receiving the highest honor, "Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture," at the previous day's Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards contributed to this progress. On the other hand, "1917" and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" have shown slight declines or stagnation. Other competitors such as "The Irishman" (1 in 13), "Joker" (1 in 14), "Jojo Rabbit," and "Marriage Story" (both at 1 in 15) are effectively trailing in the competition.
