The 2026 awards season is in full swing, and following a chaotic and thrilling Golden Globes ceremony, the betting lines for the Oscars have shifted dramatically.
As we head toward Hollywood’s biggest night, the lines at Academy Awards betting sites reflect a battle between established titans and a new generation of superstars.
Here is a breakdown of the current betting landscape for the major categories.
Best Actor
- Timothee Chalamet Marty Supreme -550
- Leonardo DiCaprio One Battle After Another +475
- Wagner Moura Secret Agent +800
- Ethan Hawke Blue Moon +2000
- Michael B Jordan Sinners +2000
- Jesse Plemons Bugonia +6000
- Joel Edgerton Train Dreams +8000
Timothée Chalamet is currently the man to beat at -550. His performance in Marty Supreme earned him the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, and he seems to have the “it” factor this season.
Chalamet’s primary competition is Wagner Moura (+800), who pulled off a stunning upset at the Globes by winning Best Actor in a Drama for The Secret Agent. While Leonardo DiCaprio (+475) remains in the hunt, the moneyline odds suggest Chalamet is a lock to win.
Best Actress
- Jessie Buckley Hamnet -2000
- Rose Byrne If I Had Legs +700
- Chase Infiniti One Battle After Another +1600
- Renate Reinsve Sentiment Value +2800
- Emma Stone Bugonia +3300
- Kate Hudson Song Sung Blue +3300
- Cynthia Erivo Wicked For Good +8000
- Jennifer Lawrence Die My Love +8000
This category features the year’s most dominant favorite. Jessie Buckley is sitting at a staggering -2000 following her powerhouse win for Best Actress in a Drama for Hamnet.
Rose Byrne (+700) also grabbed a trophy at the Golden Globes for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, but the betting markets suggest that Buckley has this Oscar all but locked up.
Best Picture
- One Battle After Another -850
- Hamnet +650
- Sinners +1000
- Marty Supreme +1600
- The Secret Agent +5000
- Frankenstein +8000
- Sentimental Value +8000
- It Was Just an Accident +8000
- Train Dreams +12000
- Bugonia +15000
- Wicked For Good +25000
The race for the top prize has become a two-horse race. Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another is the heavy favorite at -850 after its big win at the Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
However, do not count out Hamnet (+650), which took home the Globe for Best Motion Picture – Drama. While the odds favor Anderson’s satire, Hamnet’s emotional resonance with voters makes it a formidable “spoiler” candidate.
Best Supporting Actor
- Stellan Skarsgard Sentimental Value EVEN
- Sean Penn One Battle After Another +250
- Benicio del Toro One Battle After Another +425
- Jacob Elordi Frankenstein +500
- Paul Mescal Hamnet +1600
- Miles Caton Sinners +4000
- Adam Sandler Jay Kelly +10000
- Delroy Lindo Sinners +12000
- Jeremy Strong Springsteen +20000
- Jonathan Bailey Wicked: For Good +25000
This is the closest race on the board. Stellan Skarsgård and his veteran presence in Sentimental Value are currently at EVEN odds after his emotional Golden Globe win. He is closely pursued by Sean Penn (+250) and Benicio del Toro (+425), both of whom are benefiting from the One Battle After Another sweep.
Jacob Elordi (+500) remains a popular “dark horse” pick for his transformative role in Frankenstein.
Best Supporting Actress
- Teyana Taylor One Battle After Another -220
- Amy Madigan Weapons +220
- Ariana Grande Wicked: For Good +1000
- Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas Sentimental Value +1200
- Wunmi Mosaku Sinners +2500
- Odessa A’zion Marty Supreme +2500
- Glenn Close Wake Up Dead Man +5000
- Elle Fanning Sentimental Value +6600
- Gwyneth Paltrow Marty Supreme +8000
- Regina Hall One Battle After Another +8000
Teyana Taylor is the clear frontrunner at -220. Her win at the Golden Globes set the tone for the night, and her performance in One Battle After Another has been the most consistent winner of the precursor awards.
Amy Madigan (+220) is her only serious challenger at this stage, while pop superstar Ariana Grande (+1000) remains a long shot for her role in Wicked: For Good.
When Will the Official Oscar Nominations Be Announced?
The nomination voting period is currently underway, having opened on January 12. Academy members have until Friday, January 16, to submit their ballots.
