Best Supporting Actress Predictions

Collin Whitchurch: Like Kieran Culkin and Best Supporting Actor, this race is wrapped up.

Zoe Saldana has won Best Supporting Actress at every major awards show leading up to the Oscars, and is now a -2500 favorite to win Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards.

Saldana's closest competition is Ariana Grande, who is a +800 favorite to win Best Supporting Actress. Right behind her is Felicity Jones at +1400.

I don’t have a position here, and while this isn’t an official prediction, if I had to pick one “holy crap” upset on Sunday night, it would be Grande over Saldana. 

That would only happen if the Emilia Perez backlash were even more fierce than people imagined.

Bet: None

Predicted Winner: Zoe Saldana (Emilia Perez)
