Bookmakers have made Oppenheimer the heavy favourite at 1/10 to win the Best Film award, with Director Christopher Nolan also leading the way clearly in the Best Director category at 1/8.
Leading Actor Cillian Murphy is 1/6 in that category for playing the title star J. Robert Oppenheimer with William Hill offering a full market for the Leading Actor BAFTA.
