Oscar Betting Odds 2018: What Nominees Are Favored To Win Academy Awards?

All of the nominees have been announced, making it time to figure out who will be among the winners at the 90th Academy Awards. When taking a look at the 2018 Oscars betting odds, some awards are easier to predict than others.

When it comes to the night’s biggest award, there is no certain winner. “The Shape of Water,” is the odds-on favorite for best picture after leading all movies with 13 total nominations. It wouldn’t be shocking to see “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” win the award, which it did at this year’s Golden Globes.

Other movies have no chance in the best picture category, despite being nominated. “Call Me By Your Name,” “Phantom Thread” and “Darkest Hour” are extreme long shots.

That doesn’t mean those films will leave the Academy Awards empty-handed. Gary Oldman’s portrayal of Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour” is almost certain to win him the Oscar for best actor. “Call Me by Your Name” is the overwhelming favorite to win best adapted screenplay. “Phantom Thread” will likely go home with the award for best costume design.

Below are the opening betting odds for the major awards at the 2018 Oscars, via Bovada.lv. Some of the odds will change before the show finally begins on March 4.
