The 56th NAACP Image Awards, and how this page’s picks did

At the 2025 ceremony, “The Six Triple Eight” won Outstanding Motion Picture and Kerry Washington won Outstanding Actress for it. Denzel Washington won Outstanding Supporting Actor, and Ebony Obsidian won Outstanding Supporting Actress.

This page made six picks for those awards. The four that can be checked against the official winners list all lost.

All four losing picks were favorites priced at -150 or shorter, an implied chance of between 60% and 75% each. Awards markets built on a voting body’s taste can move hard against the favorite, and the 2025 results are a record of it.

Betting the 58th NAACP Image Awards

A minus price is what you stake to win $100, and the price divided by the price plus 100 is the implied chance: -300 is 75.0%, -200 is 66.7% and -150 is 60.0%. A plus price shows what $100 wins, and +200 is 33.3%. An awards bet is worth making only when you rate the nominee’s chance higher than the price does.
