The 97th Academy Awards ceremony begins at 7 p.m. this Sunday on ABC

This year, there are 27 Oscars being awarded for cinematic excellence during the calendar year of 2024. Entertainment betting sites have created odds for most categories, and the films Anora and The Brutalist are favored to take home more than one Oscar each.

Best Picture

Anora -200
Conclave +225
The Brutalist +600
A Complete Unknown +4000
Emilia Perez +6500
Wicked +6500
Dune: Part Two +10000
I’m Still Here +10000
Nickel Boys +10000
The Substance +10000

Anora is currently leading the odds to win Best Picture. It is the story of an American call girl and a wealthy Russian youngster getting married, to the dismay of his parents.

The film was nominated for five Golden Globes but didn’t win in any category. Despite its lack of success in January, Anora is projected to win Best Picture and Best Director and has a fighting chance to win Best Actress.

Best Director

Sean Baker – Anora -225
Brady Corbet – The Brutalist +165
Jacques Audiard – Emilia Perez +2000
Coralie Fargeat – The Substance +3500
James Mangold – A Complete Unknown +4000

Brat Pack member Demi Moore won the Golden Globe for Best Actress for her portrayal of Elisabeth Sparkle in The Substance. The film tells the story of an actress who resorts to taking a black-market drug to revitalize her appearance so that she can continue to land roles in the industry.

Anora’s Mikey Madison led the odds to win the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical, but Moore defied the projections of online sportsbooks and took home the trophy.

The odds have now flipped in Moore’s favor, but will Madison sneak in for the win? We believe that Anora could be in line for a sweep at the Oscars and like Madison’s +180 odds here for the upset.

Best Actress

Demi Moore – The Substance -250
Mikey Madison – Anora +180
Fernanda Torres – I’m Still Here +1400
Cynthia Erivo – Wicked +3500
Karla Sofia Gascon – Emilia Perez +4000

Adrien Brody won the Best Actor in a Drama Golden Globe and holds a slim lead over A Complete Unknown’s Timothee Chalamet. We believe Brody has this one in the bag despite the close odds with Chalamet.

Best Actor

Adrien Brody – The Brutalist -200
Timothee Chalamet – A Complete Unknown +150
Ralph Fiennes – Conclave +1500
Colman Domingo – Sing Sing +3500
Sebastian Stan – The Apprentice +3500

Celebrity betting sites are giving the biggest edge of the night to A Real Pain’s Kieran Culkin with a -5000 moneyline. Culkin won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical and looks to repeat his success at the Oscars on Sunday.

Best Supporting Actor

Kieran Culkin – A Real Pain -5000
Edward Norton – A Complete Unknown +1200
Guy Pearce – The Brutalist +1500
Jeremy Strong – The Apprentice +1500
Yura Borisov – Anora +2000

Many feel that Zoe Saldana was snubbed at the Globes, but all signs point to her winning the Oscar for Best Actress based on the odds in the following Academy Awards prop bet.
