Many people bet based on headlines or hunches. I dig into research and market moves behind political odds & manager markets, so you can back decisions, not guesses.
- Leading online bookmakers have The Crown and its major stars as odds on Emmy Awards favourites
- The historical drama The Crown is nominated in 24 Emmy categories

The Crown Betting Odds
Royalty in all its different guises will play a pivotal role in this year's Emmy Awards with blue-blooded fact and fiction merging at the ceremony with both The Crown and Prince Harry and Megan Markle in line for Emmy success.
Betting on the outcome of the Emmys has always been popular and 2021 is not different with a host os awards that looks set on their destiations.
The fictional but fact-based historical drama The Crown is now heading into its 5th series, and the online bookmakers have the following betting markets that feature the hugely popular Netflix show.
| The Crown Nominations | Bookmaker Betting odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding Drama Series | 1.25 | 80% |
| Outstanding Lead Actor - Drama - Josh O'Connor | 1.14 | 88% |
| Outstanding Lead Actress - Drama - Emma Corrin | 1.25 | 80% |
| Outstanding Lead Actress - Drama - Olivia Coleman | 7.5 | 13% |
The other 20 Emmy nominations range from specific actors such as Claire Foy, Charles Dance, and Helena Bonham Carter to lighting, visual effects, and costume awards.
The Ophra Royal Interview
Members of the Royal Family in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could also play a part in the Emmys as their controversial and revealing interview with TV legend Oprah Winfrey is up for a prestigious Emmy award.
The award is for The Best Hosted Non-Fiction Special and Oprah is up against
- My Guest Needs No Introduction
- Vice
- United Shades of America
- Stanley Tucci – Searching for Italy
Oprah, who has one previous Emmy award would be the winner rather than the royals, but it would surely reignite acrimony and support for the couple who have cut many of their official ties with the British Royal family.
