Adrien Brody now the odds-on favourite for the 2025 Best Actor Oscar
Betting odds are offered on the 2025 Academy Awards with some of the biggest categories looked at including Best Actor with Adrien Brody now leading the way to win the big award.
Brody won the Academy Award for Best Actor back in 2002 for The Pianist at the age of 29 and still remains the youngest recipient of the award.
22 years later Brody could win it again with the latest odds from UK Betting Sites putting him clear at the top of the market for his role in The Brutalist.
The movie sees Brody star as Hungarian-Jewish architect László Tóth who survives the holocaust and heads to America to chase the American Dream.
William Hill's latest betting market now puts him clear at the top of the odds at 4/6 with an implied probability of 60% that he wins the award once again.
| Oscars 2025 Best Actor | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Adrien Brody - The Brutalist | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Colman Domingo - Sing Sing | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Ralph Fiennes - Conclave | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Sebastian Stan - The Apprentice | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Daniel Craig - Queer | 10/1 | 9.1% |
What the expert says...
Cillian Murphy won Best Actor in 2024 for the lead role in Oppenheimer
Last year's Academy Award for Best Actor was won by Cillian Murphy for his role as J. Robert Oppenheimer in the movie Oppenheimer about the so called father of the atomic bomb.
Murphy headed into the Oscars earlier this year as the heavy favourite for the Best Actor award and those odds came true with the actor winning at the show in March.
This year is much different betting wise with Brody favourite but nowhere near as short as Murphy was and it's unclear if we will head into the show with a massive favourite for this category.
