Odds Analysis

Film Awards Insights:

• The Brutalist stands out in the Drama category, with its odds strongly favoring Adrien Brody for Best Drama Actor and Brady Corbet for Best Director. The film’s high stakes, gripping performances, and directorial vision make it the frontrunner.

• In Comedy/Musical, Anora dominates the conversation, with Mikey Madison leading Best Actress and Sean Baker’s screenplay garnering significant buzz. However, Wicked and Emilia Pérez pose strong challenges in key categories, potentially making for an exciting race.

• The Supporting Actress category is particularly competitive, with Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Pérez) leading but closely followed by Ariana Grande (Wicked) and Isabella Rossellini (Conclave).

Television Awards Insights:

• Shōgun has cemented itself as the drama to beat, with Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai generating buzz for their standout performances. Baby Reindeer, meanwhile, is the favorite in Limited Series, thanks to Richard Gadd’s emotional performance and Jessica Gunning’s standout supporting role.

• Comedy remains a tight race, with Hacks predicted to win Best Comedy Series, though The Bear and Nobody Wants This are gaining momentum.

Dark Horses:

• A Real Pain could upset in multiple categories, particularly for Jesse Eisenberg’s and Kieran Culkin’s performances.

• In Best Song, The Wild Robot leads with “Kiss the Sky,” but Emilia Pérez’s two nominated tracks—“El Mal” and “Mi Camino”—are formidable contenders.
