What the expert says...
Former favourite Angelina Jolie has drifted in the betting market out to 5/1
Angelina Jolie topped the early betting markets to win the Best Actress award at the 2025 Oscars for her role in Maria released in cinemas at the end of November before hitting Netflix in December.
Jolie stars in the title role in the film about opera singer Maria Callas with positive reviews from critics early on in preview screenings for the movie and her starring spot.
Bookmakers have the actress third in the latest market to win the Best Actress Oscar with the betting odds currently giving an implied probability of 16.7% that she wins.

Oscars ceremony will take place in March 2025
The 2025 Oscars is currently pencilled in for Sunday 2nd March, with the ceremony starting in the early hours of Monday 3rd March here in the UK.
This year's awards show is a strange one to say the least with no real heavy favourites in the main categories unlike previous years where we've seen Best Picture's head into awards season with a clear favourite.
2025 will see a fairly open show as of now with no massively odds-on contenders and this could be a breath of fresh air for awards show watchers.
As always there will be plenty of free bet offers available for the show with entertainment betting sites regularly offering markets on Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor and Best Picture.
