Chloe Zhao is expected to take home her first Oscar after winning Best Director for Nomadland at the Golden Globes and British Academy Film Awards. Any other result would be a major shock. The odds market doesn’t see any strong competition for her among the nominees. It seems safe to say that Chloe Zhao is a lock to take home Best Director. That said, the Academy has surprised us before.
