Cillian Murphy accepts the award for best actor in a leading role for his role in "Oppenheimer" during the 96th Oscars at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles on March 10, 2024.

Our best sportsbooks with the best Oscars odds have Cillian Murphy as a massive four-digit favorite following his many wins at the precursor events, including his most recent one at the SAGS.

Cillian Murphy's Best Actor Oscars odds is a massive favorite with the Oscars only a few days away.

Paul Giamatti was hovering around +200 a couple of weeks ago, but he's now as long as +750. Bradley Cooper holds down the third spot, but this race is over.

Best Actor predictions 2024

Cillian Murphy (-1000 via bet365)

As we expected, Murphy is a four-digit favorite at our best sports betting sites after his win at the SAGs. If you were comfortable paying the heavy juice on Murphy prior to that win, then you may have a ticket for him to win hovering in the -340 range.

However, I wouldn't blame you if that was too rich for your blood with a potential Giamatti win at the SAGs ruining everything. With Murphy essentially locked in alongside Robert Downey Jr., that gives "Oppenheimer" both the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories, along with Best Picture and Best Director.
