2023 Oscar Nominees & Favorites from the Bookies

Nominees and winners are obviously the main reason why people watch the Oscars ceremony. It would take a while to list all the nominees and favorites, so we covered some of the major predictions made by online betting sites in the US. 

• Best Picture. With ten excellent movies in the nomination, the best odds belong to Everything Everywhere All At Once. All Quiet on the Western Front and The Banshees of Inisherin are runners-up with second-best chances of winning. 
• Best Actor & Actress. These categories are the most unpredictable, as there are two favorites in each. Michelle Yeoh and Cate Blanchett go toe to toe for the Best Actress award, while Brendan Fraser and Austin Butler compete for the same prize among males. 

• Supporting Cast. Oscars 2023 summary can already include Ke Huy Quan as the winner in the Best Supporting Actor category. However, there is still intrigue on the female list, with Angela Bassett and Jamie Lee Curtis having 2.30 and 2.50 odds respectively.
• Best Director. Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert are absolute favorites to win an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All At Once. Following the bookies, no one comes close to these two in terms of odds. 
• Original & Adapted Screenplay. There will be a fight between Everything Everywhere All At Once and The Banshees of Inisherin for Best Original Screenplay, while Women Talking leads the odds in Best Adapted Screenplay.
• Best Original Song. “Naatu Naatu” from RRR surpasses Lady Gaga and Rihanna’s hits in this category. “Hold My Hand” can bring Gaga her second Oscar, while “Lift Me Up” can be the first time for Rihanna to win the major movie award.
