Ariana Grande is 13/8 to win Best Supporting Actress at the 2025 Oscars
Hype is ramping up for the 2025 Academy Awards with odds now offered on a number of different awards that will be offered on the night including Best Supporting Actress.
Nominees for the award will be announced in January but bookmakers have now moved Ariana Grande into 13/8 to win the award with her odds putting her as second favourite in the latest market.
Grande has been a viral sensation for her role as Glinda in Wicked and you can hardly move off TikTok for clips of her in the movie and that popularity could well see her as a big contender for Best Supporting Actress.
Zoe Saldana tops the betting odds with 8/13 for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Emilia Perez with the French movie expected to have a massive showing during awards season.
Bet365's latest market puts these two actresses as the big favourites in the market for the award with it looking like it'll be a two horse racing in this category.
| Oscars 2025 Best Supporting Actress | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Zoe Saldana (Emilia Perez) | 8/13 | 61.9% |
| Ariana Grande (Wicked) | 13/8 | 38.1% |
| Danielle Deadwyler (The Piano Lesson) | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Felicity Jones (The Brutalist) | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Isabella Rossellini (Conclave) | 20/1 | 4.8% |
What the expert says...
The Brutalist is 11/8 favourite to win Best Picture award
Adrian Brody's historical drama The Brutalist now sits at 11/8 in the betting market to win Best Picture with odds continued to be offered on one of the biggest awards on the night.
Brody stars as László Tóth, a Hungarian-born Jewish architect who survives the holocaust and emigrates to the United States to pursue the American dream.
Hype surrounded the movie after it premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival and it's now given a 42.1% chance of winning Best Picture according to the latest odds.
| Oscars 2025 Best Picture | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| The Brutalist | 11/8 | 42.1% |
| Anora | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Wicked | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Sing Sing | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Emilia Perez | 6/1 | 14.3% |
Academy Awards set to take place in March 2025
The 2025 Oscars will be held on Sunday 2nd March, with the ceremony starting in the early hours of Monday 3rd March here in the UK.
2025's awards season 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 awards head into the Oscars with a clear favourite.
March is set to 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.
