What the expert says..
Cillian Murphy remains the favourite to win the award for his role in Oppenheimer
The Best Actor market still has Cillian Murphy as the favourite for his star role in the summer blockbuster Oppenheimer and his odds have shortened even more.
Murphy has gone from 5/4 to odds-on at 8/11 now to win the Best Actor award for the first time in his career for his role as J. Robert Oppenheimer.
The Irish actor is well known for starring in Peaky Blinders in the last few years and the Oppenheimer performance may start to see him predominant in film more now.
Oscars Awards Betting Odds
Christopher Nolan is odds-on to win his first Best Director Oscar next year
Christopher Nolan is now the odds-on favourite to win the Best Director award at the 2024 Oscars for the incredible Oppenheimer.
Nolan has received 5 Academy Award nominations so far in his career at the Oscars but has yet to win Best Director, Best Picture of even Best Adapted Screenplay in the 22 years since his first nomination.
The odds have now shortened for a Nolan Best Director win as he moves from 6/4 to 8/13 for the award ahead of fellow Director Martin Scorsese.
