Critics Choice Awards odds
This page quotes no price. Bovada’s entertainment board, read at 18:24 UTC on November 3, 2026, listed 99th Academy Awards markets and no Critics Choice market. With no market read, there is no price, no favorite and no pick here.
The arithmetic for a Critics Choice market is the same as for any futures board. A favorite at -800 implies an 88.9% chance (800 divided by 900). A nominee at +400 implies 20.0% (100 divided by 500). A bet is worth making only when you rate a nominee’s chance higher than the implied chance of the price.

Critics Choice Awards predictions and the Oscars
| Oscars | Critics Choice Best Picture | Oscar Best Picture | Critics Choice Best Actor | Oscar Best Actor | Critics Choice Best Actress | Oscar Best Actress |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | One Battle After Another | One Battle After Another | Timothée Chalamet | Michael B. Jordan | Jessie Buckley | Jessie Buckley |
| 2025 | Anora | Anora | Adrien Brody | Adrien Brody | Demi Moore | Mikey Madison |
| 2024 | Oppenheimer | Oppenheimer | Paul Giamatti | Cillian Murphy | Emma Stone | Emma Stone |
| 2023 | Everything Everywhere All at Once | Everything Everywhere All at Once | Brendan Fraser | Brendan Fraser | Cate Blanchett | Michelle Yeoh |
From 2023 to 2026, the Critics Choice Best Picture winner also won the Oscar in all four years. The acting awards split more often. Best Actor matched in 2 of 4 years (Brendan Fraser in 2023, Adrien Brody in 2025), and Best Actress matched in 2 of 4 (Emma Stone in 2024, Jessie Buckley in 2026). Four years is a small sample. It describes those four shows and proves nothing about the next one.
The Critics Choice Association’s April 20, 2026 release calls its awards “historically the most accurate predictor of Academy Award nominations.” That is the CCA’s claim, and the table above measures winners, not nominations. The 99th Oscars are on Sunday, March 14, 2027, with nominations on Thursday, January 21, 2027.
