97th Academy Awards Odds
Best Actor & Best Supporting Actor
Adrien Brody is the leading contender for Best Actor, with a 69.2% implied probability. Timothée Chalamet follows as a strong second.
In the Best Supporting Actor category, Kieran Culkin has an overwhelming lead, followed by Edward Norton and Yura Borisov, who are both distant runners-up.
Best Actress & Best Supporting Actress
Demi Moore in the midst of her renaissance leads the Best Actress category with a strong 71.4% implied probability. Mikey Madison remains a solid contender in the category but the momentum is with the former.
For Best Supporting Actress, Zoe Saldana is the clear frontrunner with a dominant 94.1% implied probability, leaving Ariana Grande and Felicity Jones like to leave empty handed in this category.
Best Director
Sean Baker looks set to take the Academy Award for Best Director, with a 61.9% implied probability for Anora. Although the odds don’t reflect this Brady Corbet follows closely behind for The Brutalist.
If there’s any category primed for an upset on the night, Best Director could be the one to watch. While each award should, in theory, stand on its own, the reality is that Hollywood is small where industry momentum plays a role. Brady Corbet remains a contender who could shake up the category on the night.
Best Picture
In the Best Picture race, Anora holds the strongest position with a 63.6% implied probability, followed by Conclave at 28.6%. Although The Brutalist remains in the conversation it faces an uphill battle against the frontrunners and looks likely to walk away empty handed in this particular category.
