Best Director odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

We analyzed whether there's a legitimate threat to Christopher Nolan in our Oscars Best Director predictions.

Best Director prediction: Christopher Nolan - Nolan's odds actually lengthened from as short as -10000 to as long as -5000 following the SAGs, but he's still the runaway favorite to win.

Best Lead Actor odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Can favorite Cillian Murphy fend off the competition? Find out in our Oscars Best Actor predictions.

Best Lead Actor prediction: Cillian Murphy - Murphy won at the SAGs, and his odds shortened accordingly. He's a lock to win at the Oscars.

Best Lead Actress odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Could a long shot win this award? Find out with our Best Actress predictions.

Best Lead Actress prediction: Lily Gladstone - Emma Stone was gaining momentum ahead of the SAGs, but the market has now been dealt plenty of uncertainty as Lily Gladstone won at that precursor event. Gladstone is now a significant favorite to win at the Oscars.

Best Supporting Actor odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Will "Oppenheimer" clean up even in the supporting acting categories? Find out with our Oscars Best Supporting Actor predictions.

Best Supporting Actor prediction: Robert Downey Jr. - Downey won at the SAGs, and his odds continue to shorten with his inevitable win at the Oscars looming.

Best Supporting Actress prediction: Da'Vine Joy Randolph - Randolph won at the SAGs and is one of the biggest runaway favorites across all Oscars markets.

Best Original Screenplay odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Original Screenplay prediction: "Anatomy of a Fall" - From a writing perspective, "Anatomy of a Fall" is the most complete of all these nominees, and its odds continue to shorten ahead of the Oscars.

Best Adapted Screenplay odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Adapted Screenplay prediction: "Oppenheimer" - "American Fiction" leapfrogged both "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" within the last two weeks and now serves as the favorite. Its momentum is worrying, but you could do worse than a plus-money bet on "Oppenheimer."

Best Cinematography odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Cinematography prediction: "Oppenheimer" - This is a massive four-digit favorite everywhere but FanDuel, as Nolan's masterpiece is ready to rack up the wins.

Best Animated Feature odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Animated Feature prediction: "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" - This is a two-horse race, as "The Boy & The Heron" has won many precursor awards for this market, but the popularity of "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" is tough to beat.

Best Documentary odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Documentary prediction: "20 Days in Mariupol" - This is a great group of documentaries, but "20 Days in Mariupol" is the standout among them.

Best International Film odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best International Film prediction: "The Zone of Interest" - "The Zone of Interest" is a massive favorite, and its place in both the Best Picture and Best Director markets all but lock up its win here.

Best Production Design odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Production Design prediction: "Poor Things" - "Barbie" has lost its status as the favorite, as "Poor Things" continues to shorten. By the odds, this one is a toss-up, but I prefer to side with the momentum of "Poor Things."

Best Costume Design odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Costume Design prediction: "Barbie" - This race is similar to that of Best Production Design, as "Poor Things" continues to close the gap on the favorite. Will "Poor Things" ruin the night for the box-office smash? 

Best Makeup & Hairstyle odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Makeup & Hairstyle prediction: "Maestro" - This should be awarded to "Maestro" for its work with aging the characters throughout the film, and its odds shortened somewhat over the weekend. 

Best Sound odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Sound prediction: "Oppenehimer" - "Oppenheimer" continues to shorten as the favorite, and Nolan's masterpiece combining visual and audio excellence looks poised to take home multiple technical awards on top of the higher-profile achievements.

Best Score odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Score prediction: "Oppenheimer" - This is one of the easiest layups outside of some major categories.

Best Song odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Song prediction: "What Was I Made For?" - Billie Eilish won this market two years ago, and she appears poised to pick up her second Oscars Best Song win as the odds for "What Was I Made For?" continue to shorten.

Best Film Editing odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Film Editing prediction: "Oppenheimer" - This should be another easy layup for Nolan's movie, with the film editing being one of the things that pushed this movie above and beyond. 

Best Visual Effects odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Visual Effects prediction: "Godzilla Minus One" - This is a tight race, and we'd recommend hedging between two books offering plus-money odds on either "Godzilla Minus One" or "The Creator."

Best Animated Short odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)

Best Live Action Short odds 2024

(Odds as of March 7)
