Best Picture Betting Odds 2023
The best picture award is highly anticipated. There are no less than ten films nominated, so there’s a lot to watch and predict. Let’s check out the favourites in this category:
Everything Everywhere all at Once
Everything Everywhere all at Once stands out in the parallel universe genre by mixing funny and dramatic elements. The characters and the storyline are easy to relate to, and it’s no surprise that the film got an IMDb rating of 8 and a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Everything Everywhere all at Once it’s a favourite in many categories of the 2023 Oscars.
The Banshees of Inisherin
The Banshees of Inisherin brings intelligent dialogue, amazing Irish landscapes, and complex characters to our screens. Starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, this dramatic comedy set in 1923 Ireland is a powerhouse. The two actors previously played together in the highly acclaimed black comedy In Bruges. The Banshees of Inisherin has an IMDb rating of 7.8 and a Rotten Tomatoes score of 96%.
The Fabelmans
Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans is based on his journey to becoming a famous filmmaker. The autobiography displays various moments from his childhood and manages to create an intimate and moving story. The Fabelmans has an IMDb rating of 7.7, a Rotten Tomatoes score of 92%, and has been nominated to seven categories at the 2023 Oscars. Spielberg also competes for best director.
Best Actress Betting Odds 2023
While there has been some controversy around the lack of diversity in this category, the award went on with its list of nominees. The two main favourites to win according to most critics are:
Cate Blanchett
Blanchett is considered the frontrunner for the Academy Award, her role as a conductor in Tár being greatly praised. While she took the award for Best Actress in the Drama category at the Golden Globes, we are yet to see if she will manage to take home the combo. Blanchett won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2014 for her role in Blue Jasmine.
Michelle Yeoh
Michelle Yeoh was brilliant in Everything Everywhere all at Once and is a great contestant to win the award. She also won the Best Actress award at the Golden Globes, for the comedy category. Michelle Yeoh is the first actress of Southeast Asian descent to be nominated for an Oscar.
Best Actor Betting Odds 2023
The Best Actor category has some great performances to compete for the award. Ever since the Oscar nominations in January, a few contestants in the category continued to stand out on the lists of predictions:
Brendan Fraser
Brendan Fraser took the industry by storm with his role in The Whale. Fraser plays a morbidly obese English professor who tries to reconcile with his daughter. His performance got an amazing critical response, and the role is considered a career comeback.
Colin Farrell
Colin Farrell plays Pádraic Súilleabháin in The Banshees of Inisherin, a hilarious comedy about friendship. The genre suits the Irish actor perfectly. The role got him the Golden Globe for Best Actor (comedy) earlier this year.
Austin Butler
Austin Butler is nominated for his role as Elvis Presley in the biopic of the famous rock and roll singer. The performance blew critics away, as Butler managed to bring the King back to life. Butler won the Golden Globe for Best Actor (drama) for his role in Elvis previously this year.
