How to Bet on the 2025 Oscars

Did you know that some sportsbooks have started taking bets on the 97th Academy Awards? Finding betting options for the 2025 Oscars isn’t hard, but you need to know where to look.

Here is how to place bets on the 2025 Oscars

Bettors can place bets on the 2025 Oscars — or 97th Academy Awards — right now as odds were recently released on a couple of sportsbooks. Some bettors may not know this, but there are a few sports betting sites that take bets on huge events that aren’t sports related. One sportsbook even offers their bettors a chance to bet on aliens and alien spacecrafts. To bet on the 2025 Oscars, bettors need to find a sportsbook that offers Oscars betting. Your preferred sportsbook might not have betting options for the Oscars, so some bettors will need to sign up with another sportsbook.

Figuring out which sportsbooks take bets on the Oscars and which don’t is an easy and quick process. First, bettors need to scroll through the list of sports offered by the sportsbook and find the entertainment section. Although some betting sites take bets on politics and other events that aren’t sports related, those betting options will be listed with the sports. Bettors will find betting options for the Oscars in the entertainment section of most sportsbooks. Then, click the entertainment section to see whether or not the sportsbook is taking bets for the Oscars. Most sportsbooks will list the options under the 97th Academy Awards. Bettors may want to take a look at more than one sportsbook that offers Oscars betting because the options will be different for each sportsbook.

Bet on the 2025 best picture award

One option is Sports Interaction if you are only looking to bet on the best picture award at the 2025 Oscars. That is the only betting market available at the moment for the 97th Academy Awards on the sportsbook. Bettors can bet on any of the 24 movies on the list or request another movie. To make a request, send Sports Interaction an email or make a request via the live chat. The Brutalist has the best odds to win the award at the moment. The Brutalist is the betting favourite with +300 odds. Anora at +350, Emelia Perez at +400, Sing Sing at +500, and Dune: Part Two at +650 are the other movies in the top five.

More awards including best actor, best actress, best director, and more

For bettors looking to bet on more than the best picture award, Bodog is a sportsbook worth considering. The sportsbook is taking bets for five awards other than best picture for the 97th Academy Awards. Some other sports betting sites are also taking bets for more than one award, but bettors will have to find them. BetMGM is an example of another sportsbook that is taking bets on the Oscars, but isn’t taking bets for more than one award right now.

On Bodog, the betting favourite for the best actor award is Colman Domingo from Sing Sing. The favourite for best actress is Jessica Lange from Long Day’s Journey Into Night. The favourite for best director is Denis Villenueve from Dune: Part Two. The favourite for best supporting actor is Samuel L Jackson from The Piano Lesson. The favourite for best supporting actress is Danielle Deadwyler also from The Piano Lesson.
