Anora officially enters Oscars week as the favorite to win Best Picture at -200 odds.
The film failed to win any major awards at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, but still rides into the main event on the strength of winning the top prize from both the Directors Guild and the Producers Guild, alongside a less-relevant Critics Choice Awards win.
Since the Critics Choice Awards came into existence in 1995, the same film won the top prize at these three award shows 15 times. Twelve of those 15 movies also won Best Picture at the Oscars, with the exceptions being La La Land, Brokeback Mountain and Saving Private Ryan.
The Brutalist entered the new year as the favorite to win Best Picture, but has now been leapfrogged by two films with Conclave ascending to second favorite status for Best Picture at +225 odds. The Brutalist is now third at +600.
The film won the top prize at the SAG Awards on Sunday — Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture — to go along with a win at the BAFTAs for Best Picture.
The BAFTAs have a complicated history with predicting Oscars success, and in the Best Picture category specifically, the two ceremonies have aligned just 10 times in the last 24 years.
The PGA in particular has been the best predictor of Oscars success, aligning picks 17 times in the last 24 years, including each of the last four.
At Kalshi, Anora is trading at 62% and The Brutalist is all the way down at 14% as of this writing. Conclave is at 26%.
Best Director Odds for the 2025 Oscars
| Nominee | Odds | Implied Prob. |
|---|---|---|
| Sean Baker (Anora) | -165 | 62.26% |
| Brady Corbet (The Brutalist) | +125 | 44.44% |
| Jacques Audiard (Emilia Perez) | +2000 | 4.76% |
| James Mangold (A Complete Unknown) | +2500 | 3.85% |
| Coralie Fargeat (The Substance) | +2500 | 3.85% |

Brady Corbet was an even stronger favorite for this award two months ago than the film he directed, The Brutalist, was for Best Picture. But like that race, things have changed drastically.
Once the Directors Guild awarded Sean Baker for Anora, he became the favorite and the odds have only moved in his favor.
The DGA and Academy have only awarded the Best Director prize to different people three times since 2000: 2019 (Oscar to Bong Joon-ho, DGA to Sam Mendes), 2012 (Oscar to Ang Lee, DGA to Ben Affleck) and 2000 (Oscar to Steven Soderbergh, DGA to Ang Lee).
This is a much stronger parallel to the oddsmakers than Corbet's win at the BAFTAs. As such, Baker is a -165 favorite, while Corbet is a +125 underdog.
For reference, Corbet was a -700 favorite as recently has January 23rd.
At Kalshi, Baker is trading at 60% as of this writing, with Corbet at 38%.
Best Actor Odds for the 2025 Oscars
| Nominee | Odds | Implied Prob. |
|---|---|---|
| Adrien Brody (The Brutalist) | -230 | 69.7% |
| Timothee Chalamet (A Complete Unknown) | +150 | 40% |
| Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) | +1600 | 5.88% |
| Colman Domingo (Sing Sing) | +3500 | 2.78% |
| Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice) | +3500 | 2.78% |

Adrien Brody has dominated the awards circuit, but a wrench was thrown into this race on Sunday when his closest competitor, Timothee Chalamet, took home the Best Actor prize at the SAG Awards.
Before the SAG Awards, Brody was a -360 favorite, with Chalamet a +340 underdog. Now, Brody is still the favorite but he is -230 to win Best Actor. Chalamet, meanwhile, is +150 to win Best Actor.
The Screen Actors Guild has a lot of weight in the predictability of acting awards because it is the largest singular voting body among Oscar voters. Since 2004, only twice has the SAG Best Actor winner not won Best Actor at the Oscars: 2016, when the SAG awarded Denzel Washington and the Oscar went to Casey Affleck, and 2020, when the SAG posthumously awarded Chadwick Boseman and the Oscar went to Anthony Hopkins.
At Kalshi, Brody is trading at 65% while Chalamet is at 36%.
Best Actress Odds for the 2025 Oscars
| Nominee | Odds | Implied Prob. |
|---|---|---|
| Demi Moore (The Substance) | -250 | 71.43% |
| Mikey Madison (Anora) | +165 | 37.74% |
| Fernanda Torres (I'm Still Here) | +1400 | 6.67% |
| Karla Sofia Gascon (Emilia Perez) | +3500 | 2.78% |
| Cynthia Erivo (Wicked) | +3500 | 2.78% |
To learn how to trade on Best Actress outcomes at Kalshi and for a $10 new user bonus, click here.
Demi Moore's win for Best Actress at the SAG Awards solidified her position as the favorite entering the Oscars. But there's still some uncertainty in this two-woman race.
Mikey Madison, who spent a majority of the winter as the favorite, won this award at the BAFTAs, making her a legitimate contender.
Many have thought Fernanda Torres to be a stealthy upset contender after she burst into the conversation with a win or her own at the Golden Globes, and she jumped up as high as +750 on the odds board, but has only gone down from there and is now the third favorite way back at +1400.
Disagreement between the SAG and Oscars for Best Actress is more common than it is for Best Actor. Since 2000, the awards have gone to different women seven times, including last year, when the SAG awarded Lily Gladstone and the Academy went with Emma Stone.
At Kalshi as of this writing, Moore is trading at 60% and Madison at 34%, while Torres is down at 7%.
Best Supporting Actor Odds for the 2025 Oscars
| Nominee | Odds | Implied Prob. |

| Guy Pearce (The Brutalist) | +2000 | 4.76% |
| Jeremy Strong (The Apprentice) | +2000 | 4.76% |

Along with Best Supporting Actress, this is the most sure-thing award of the six major Oscars awards.
Kieran Culkin has won Best Supporting Actor at every major awards show leading up to the Academy Awards. As such, his odds are a staggering -3500 to take home the Oscar on Sunday.
His closest competitor is Edward Norton, who is at +1100.
At Kalshi, Culkin is trading at 94%, while Guy Pearce (+2000 odds) is trading at 4%.
Best Supporting Actress Odds for the 2025 Oscars
| Nominee | Odds | Implied Prob. |
|---|---|---|
| Zoe Saldana (Emilia Perez) | -2500 | 96.15% |
| Ariana Grande (Wicked) | +800 | 11.11% |

Like 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.
At Kalshi, Saldana is trading at 94%, while Grande is at 4% and Monica Barbaro (+2900 odds) is at 2%.
Best Adapted Screenplay Odds for the 2025 Oscars
| Nominee | Odds | Implied Prob. |
|---|---|---|
| Conclave | -1000 | 90.91% |
| Nickel Boys | +750 | 11.76% |
| Emilia Perez | +1000 | 9.09% |
| A Complete Unknown | +2000 | 4.76% |
| Sing Sing | +2000 | 4.76% |
To learn how to trade on Best Adapted Screenplay outcomes at Kalshi and for a $10 new user bonus, click here.
Screenplay categories are difficult to predict because different organizations have different standards for what qualifies for "adapted" or "original."
As an example this year, Nickel Boys won the Best Adapted Screenplay award at the Writers Guild Award. However, Conclave was not eligible for the prize at the WGA (nor were Emilia Perez, Sing Sing).
That fact, along with Conclave winning this category at the BAFTAs, have led oddsmakers to keep it as the favorite in this category, and the odds actually improved after Conclave won the Best Adapted Screenplay prize at the USC Scripters Awards on Sunday, which is another strong predictor of what the Academy will do.
At Kalshi, Conclave is trading at 91%, while Nickel Boys is at 14% and A Complete Unknown is at 3%.
Best Original Screenplay Odds for the 2025 Oscars
| Nominee | Odds | Implied Prob. |
|---|---|---|
| Anora | -250 | 71.43% |
| The Substance | +300 | 25% |
| A Real Pain | +500 | 16.67% |
| The Brutalist | +1400 | 6.67% |
| September 5 | +3500 | 2.78% |
To learn how to trade on Best Original Screenplay outcomes at Kalshi and for a $10 new user bonus, click here.
Anora's position as favorite hasn't moved much since these markets opened, but there are legitimate upset contenders behind it, and its position is far from firm.
A Real Pain won this prize at the BAFTAs, and while Anora won at the WGA, The Substance was not eligible for the prize there.
As such, we have Anora favored for Best Original Screenplay at -250, but two other films in the mix: The Substance at +300 odds, and A Real Pain at +500 odds.
At Kalshi, Anora is trading at 62%, The Substance is at 23%, and A Real Pain is at 14%.
