Notable Oscars odds
Odds to win Best Picture

 |
|---|---|---|
| Anora | -200 | -188 |
| Conclave | +225 | +200 |
| The Brutalist | +600 | +650 |
| A Complete Unknown | +4000 | +5000 |

Unlike last year, when Oppenheimer was an Oscars buzzsaw from the second it was released, no single film has felt like a sure thing for very long. The Brutalist was a big favorite after the Golden Globes but has since drifted from the top of the pack. Anora was pegged as the it movie in early Autumn before being surpassed only to regain momentum as the guild awards were doled out. Emilia Perez crashed and burned after looking like a potential front-runner. And now, Conclave is peaking at the right time after earning an ensemble award at the Screen Actors Guild ceremony.
Odds to win Best Actor
| Actor (Film) | |
|
|---|---|---|
| Adrien Brody (The Brutalist) | -230 | -225 |
| Timothee Chalamet (A Complete Unknown) | +150 | +162 |
| Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) | +1600 | +1400 |
| Colman Domingo (Sing Sing) | +3500 | +3300 |
| Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice) | +3500 | +3300 |
Best Actor has had a few narratives to its arc. Adrien Brody delivers a powerhouse, tortured performance as a mercurial yet genius architect who escaped war-torn Germany. Timothee Chalamet has received many plaudits for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown after learning how to play the guitar — an act of commitment the Academy typically loves. While honoring Ralph Fiennes — more for his body of work than specifically his work in Conclave — was also in play, it's between Brody and Chalamet.

Odds to win Best Actress
| Actress (Film) | |
|
|---|---|---|
| Demi Moore (The Substance) | -250 | -250 |
| Mikey Madison (Anora) | +165 | +175 |
| Fernanda Torres (I'm Still Here) | +1400 | +1400 |
| Karla Sofia Gascon (Emilia Perez) | +3500 | +3300 |
| Cynthia Erivo (Wicked) | +3500 | +3300 |
It's been a rollercoaster awards season for Best Actress. Initially, it seemed like it may be a three-person race between Demi Moore, Mikey Madison, and Karla Sofia Gascon. However, the Emilia Perez star was embroiled in controversy after a series of unpleasant and insensitive tweets resurfaced from a couple of years ago. Moore won at the Golden Globes and emerged as the betting favorite, but Madison has gained traction since. But Moore's win at the Screen Actors Guild Awards may be the strongest indicator of the eventual winner.
