Bafta 2025 odds: Who's likely to win at the ceremony tonight? The Brutalist, Conclave, Demi Moore and Zoe Saldana

The Baftas - the awards run by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts - take place at the Royal Festival Hall on London’s South Bank tonight and as ever are seen as a bellwether for the biggest event in Hollywood’s calendar... the Oscars.

Several films - and their stars - have emerged as the front-runners for success this year, as the nominations show.

At the front of the pack is postwar European architectural drama The Brutalist, which is likely to dominate the night. Online betting firm Betway says that it is currently even money (1/1) to win Best Film, while its star, Adrien Brody, is the frontrunner for Best Actor in a Leading Role (5/6). Director Brady Corbet also stands as the clear favourite for Best Director (1/2).

Another film hoping for success is the musical thriller Emilia Pérez, which is at 4/1 for Best Film, with Karla Sofía Gascón a long shot at 14/1 for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Zoe Saldaña is odds-on (1/5) for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and Jacques Audiard has an outside chance at Best Director (10/1).

Wicked has been a box office smash but has secured only two acting nominations. Cynthia Erivo is a distant 40/1 shot for Best Actress in a Leading Role, while Ariana Grande has a more competitive 6/1 chance in the Supporting Actress category.

Betway spokesperson Mike Reading said: “The Baftas will bring together some of the most celebrated filmmakers and actors of the past year, and the competition is fierce.

"The Brutalist is the standout favourite, leading across three key categories. It’s a film that has captured both critical and audience acclaim, and punters are expecting it to have a major night on Sunday."

“Elsewhere, Conclave is the overwhelming favourite (1/6) to win Outstanding British Film, whilst Kieran Culkin is the odds-on favourite (1/6) for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for A Real Pain. Demi Moore’s remarkable performance in The Substance sees her as the frontrunner (10/11) to win Best Actress in a Leading Role.”
