Oscars Odds: Nomadland, Chadwick Boseman, Daniel Kaluuya, The Expected Winners As Bettors Back Favorites
The Oscars are two weeks away. With the nominees set, oddsmakers and bettors have had plenty of time to settle into their winners for every award. Who will win Best Picture? Best Actor? Best Actress? Even Best Animated Film? Oddsmakers have their ideas.
Oddsmakers and bettors are in sync. Of the 13 categories on this list they agree on 10 of them. The three they don’t agree on? Well, those would be Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Cinematography. So, keep an eye on those three categories as they may be the most wide open this year. That’s especially true for Best actress, where oddsmakers don’t have a single nominee with an implied chance of 50% or over.
