Will All the Odds-On Shots Be Golden At the Globes?


In 2022 Golden Globes went ahead as scheduled despite some considerable controversy and boycotts. But, this year, the famous film and television awards appear to be free of distractions, and Hollywood’s A-listers have stated their intention to attend the ceremony at The Beverly Hilton next Tuesday night. (11 January 2023 at 1:00 am GMT)

There are 14 awards for movies and 13 for television. For the most part, bookmakers and punters are primarily interested in the films where the top three awards come in two categories. They are Drama and Musical or Comedy.

  • Best Picture
  • Best Actor
  • Best Actress

The remaining eight awards are for the following categories. Paddy Power have you well covered with over 20 different betting markets for the 2023 Golden Globes.

  • Best Supporting Actor (in a motion picture)
  • Best Supporting Actress (in a motion picture)
  • Best Director
  • Best Screenplay
  • Best Original Score
  • Best Song
  • Best Animated Feature
  • Best Non-English film

Eight Nominations For Banshees of Inisherin

Most British bookmakers have betting markets open on each and every one. But, this year they are blighted by odds-on favourites. Almost every award features exceptionally short-priced contenders. Amongst those that cannot be backed (or opposed) is Colin Farrell in the Best Actor (Musical or Comedy) division.

The Irishman is 2/9 with Paddy Power to take this award but just 1/10 with William Hill and Unibet. A previous Golden Globe winner, Farrell is nominated for his role in The Banshees of Inisherin.

This film has received eight nominations in total.

It is 9/4 to win one of the Best Picture awards, and its writer/director is 4/6 (Betfair) to take home the Best Screenplay gong. Another ‘shortie’ from this production is Kerry Condon, she is 2/1 for the Best Supporting Actress award.

Everything is Odds-On in Everything Movie

Jamie Lee Curtis heads the Best Supporting Actress award betting market. The veteran actress with a long list of accolades is 4/7 to gain her third Golden Globe for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

If any film collects more Golden Globes in 2023 it will be this movie. The comedy-drama has six nominations and, amongst those, four are considered odds-on to convert into an award.

It is 8/13 (top-priced at William Hill) for Best Musical or Comedy Picture. Its lead actress, Michelle Yeoh is 3/10 to collect the Best Actress award; Ke Hu Quan is 4/9 for Best Supporting Actor.

With Steven Spielberg 1/4 to win his first ‘Best Director’ Globe since 1999 for his film The Fablemans, RRR is 3/10 to take the ‘Best Non-English’ Globe, and Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is 1/7 for the ‘Best Animated Feature’, there are very few genuine Golden Globes betting angles.


Iceland Musician is Worth a Score at 2/1

Thankfully there are some opportunities. In the ‘Best Original Score’ betting, Justin Hurwitz is trading at 6/5 for his music to Babylon. The price is probably too short. We believe the 37-year-old is simply trading this low due to his recent record at this event.

Hurwitz won the same award in 2018 – for the movie First Man – and in 2016 for La La Land. His record does not come close to John Williams. This artist has had 24 previous nominations. However, he could be out of fashion as the last of his four wins came back in 2005.

Therein, Hildur Guðnadóttir looks like the best bet here. Her instrumental soundtrack to Sarah Polley’s Women Talking currently has several award nominations pending, and it won the St. Louis Film Critics Association prize for the ‘Best Score’.

That’s a good form pointer. But, vitally, the Icelandic musician is just 5/4 with Unibet to take the Golden Globe but a standout 2/1 at Paddy Power sportsbook.

This would appear a classic case of ‘get the value’.
