Oscars odds 2024: Academy Awards betting guide

Best Picture Odds

Best Picture odds have been released after the announcement of the 2024 Academy Awards nominations. Ten films were nominated for Oscar Best Picture, and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer leads the way according to oddmakers.

The box office sensation is a strong -3000 favorite to take the award, meaning a $100 wager on the film would net $3.33 should it take the prize.

Oddsmakers believe the biggest threat to a potential Oppenheimer coronation is Poor Things. It comes in as the second betting favorite at +1600, meaning a $100 wager would net $1,600.

Barbie, which was the highest-grossing film of 2023, is among the Best Picture contenders, too. The cultural phenomenon is listed with +2300 odds to be named Best Picture, meaning a $100 wager would bring in $2,300. It is tied at those odds with The Zone of Interest.

Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon is at +3400, which would bring in $3,400 for a $100 bet should it win. It is tied with Anatomy of a Fall.

Best Director Odds

While Oppenheimer is a strong favorite to win Best Picture, its director, Christopher Nolan, is an even stronger favorite to take home Best Director, according to oddsmakers.

At -4000, Nolan is a stronger favorite than any other major nominee according to these early odds. A $100 wager on Nolan would net just $2.50 in profit.

Behind Nolan are Yorgos Lanthimos for Poor Things, Jonathan Glazer for The Zone of Interest and Martin Scorsese for Killers of the Flower Moon. The longest shot is Justine Triet for Anatomy of a Fall. Although, let's be honest, they're all longshots next to Nolan.

Best Actor Odds

The Oppenheimer love continues over in the Best Actor category, where breakout star Cillian Murphy is listed at -1300 to claim the award. A $100 wager on Murphy would net bettors $7.69.

Veteran character actor Paul Giamatti is the second favorite for his role in Alexander Payne's The Holdovers. At +1000, a $100 wager would net $1,000.

Coming in right behind Giamatti is Bradley Cooper, who directed himself in the Leonard Bernstein biopic, Maestro. At +1700, a $100 wager on Cooper would bring in $1,700 in profit.

Best Actress Odds

The Best Actress race at the 2024 Academy Awards is very clearly a two-person race.

Lile Gladstone is ahead at the moment for her breakout role in Killers of the Flower Moon. At -160 odds, a $100 bet on Gladstone would net winners $62.50.

Right behind Gladstone is Emma Stone for Poor Things, as she is a little lower than even-money at +120. A $100 bet on Stone would net bettors $120, should she come away with the trophy.

Best Supporting Actor Odds

The clear favorite for Best Supporting Actor is Robert Downey Jr. for his role in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. At -2400, a $100 wager on him to win would net $4.17.

The next-closest favorite is a popular one, as Ryan Gosling earned a nod for his role as Ken in Greta Gerwig's box office sensation, Barbie. At +1100 odds, a bet on Gosling should he win would net $1,100.

Best Supporting Actress Odds

The strong favorite in the Best Supporting Actress category is Da'Vine Joy Randolph in Alexander Payne's The Holdovers. At -2000, a $100 bet on Randolph would net bettors $5.

Behind Randolph are Emily Blunt for Oppenheimer and Danielle Brooks for The Color Purple. At +1400, Blunt would net bettors $1,400, while Brooks would bring in $1,600 should she pull off the upset.
