The 2022 Golden Globe nominations have been revealed and now, online entertainment betting sites have reduced the number of options within their prop bets down to the actual contenders on the fly.
While the ceremony still struggles to find a home on cable or network television, the show must go on and is scheduled to begin on January 9th, 2022.
While actors, directors, and other filmmakers plan to boycott the ceremony due to outrage over the lack of diversity among the Hollywood Foreign Press – the relatively-tiny pool of voters that decide the Golden Globe winners each year – YouTube remains the most likely outlet for broadcasting the ceremony.
While they sort that out, MyBookie has unveiled a flurry of entertainment prop bets for each major category that will take action until the award is given in January.
2022 Golden Globe Odds For Best Actor (Drama)
- Will Smith (King Richard) -230
- Benedict Cumberbatch (The Power of the Dog) +270
- Denzel Washington (The Tragedy of Macbeth) +900
- Mahershala Ali (Swan Song) +1200
- Javier Bardem (Being the Ricardos) +1400
When it comes to betting on the Golden Globes or any other award ceremony, the favorite typically wins – but not always. The trick is to find angles for underdogs that have the potential to win and deliver a large cash payout.
Look for films or television series that are not only nominated in several categories, but are favored prominently in at least three.
2022 Golden Globe Odds For Best Actor (Musical/Comedy)
- Andrew Garfield (tick, tick…Boom!) -280
- Peter Dinklage (Cyrano) +330
- Leonardo DiCaprio (Don’t Look Up) +1000
- Cooper Hoffman (Licorice Pizza) +1200
- Anthony Ramos (In The Heights) +1200
When browsing the various Golden Globes betting odds for each category, there are no entities that are dominating the top spot across the board, but Licorice Pizza, Don’t Look Up, tick, tick…Boom!, West Side Story, and Belfast do have some sweep potential that should be considered before laying any action this year.
2022 Golden Globe ODds For Best Actress (Drama)
- Kristen Stewart (Spencer) -200
- Olivia Colman (The Lost Daughter) +550
- Nicole Kidman (Being the Ricardos) +600
- Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) +700
- Lady Gaga (House of Gucci) +900
Of all the major Golden Globe categories presented here, West Side Story is the only movie that tops the betting odds in two different lines – Best Actress in a Musical or a Comedy and Best Picture (Musical/Comedy).
2022 Golden Globe Odds For Best Actress (Musical/Comedy)

- Alana Haim (Licorice Pizza) +110
