The 2024 awards season is officially underway as betting on the Golden Globes has concluded, and we’re already eyeballing the Primetime Emmy Awards on January 15th.
Two days before the Emmys, the 29th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards will broadcast from the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport, honoring the best in film and television between January and December 2023.
Comedian Chelsea Handler will be hosting the event for the second year in a row which will air on the CW Plus this Sunday at 7 p.m.
Entertainment sportsbooks have posted Critics’ Choice Awards odds for some categories, but not all. The betting focus is entirely on television awards, but that could change in the days leading up to the ceremony.
While Barbie has racked up a record 18 nominations this year, the following entertainment prop bets feature FX’s The Bear and HBO’s Succession in the lead.
Best Comedy Actor
- Jeremy Allen White The Bear (FX) -450

- Bill Hader Barry (HBO) +650
- Kayvan Novak What We Do in the Shadows (FX) +850
- Drew Tarver The Other Two (Max) +2000
The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White holds a 700-point lead on the next highest-ranked nominee in the odds to win the Best Comedy Actor Critics’ Choice Award. Wagers of $7 will be required to win a dollar by betting on him to win.
Best Comedy Actress
- Ayo Edebiri The Bear (FX) -200

- Quinta Brunson Abbott Elementary (ABC) +500

The odds for Best Drama Actor suggest that the winner will be between one of two actors featured in Succession. Kieran Culkin is in the lead currently, but a win by Jeremy Strong would not be considered much of an upset.
