Golden Globes 2024: latest betting odds before this evening’s event - who is the favourite for Best Film?

The Road to the Oscars 2024 kicks off tomorrow night in the United States (Monday morning UK time), with the 2024 Golden Globe Awards taking place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Considered by many as the start of the awards season, we’re not only looking forward to the event itself but at what those at the event will be wearing as they grace the red carpet - for better or for worse. 

With Jo Koy presenting the ceremony and several presenters already announced, all eyes now are on who will pick up awards at the first major awards ceremony of 2024, a mere week before the television world is celebrated with the Prime Time Emmy Awards and the Critics Choice Awards shortly after that giving us a little more insight what “could” be the major contenders for the Academy Awards in March.

24 hours before the event, NationalWorld has taken a look at who the current bookmakers' favourites are compared to when we last took a look at those betting odds and there have been some significant changes after the general theatrical release for several films. “Barbie” is no longer considered the favourite to win the Best Film - Musical or Comedy, with Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” now odds on to win that award. 

Cillian Murphy, the Best Actor Oscar favourite for his role in “Oppenheimer,” has also overtaken Bradey Cooper’s performance in “Maestro” to once again become the favourite to win the Best Actor - Drama award, while Charles Melton’s role in “May December” has dropped out of the booking odds, with Willem Defoe replacing him for his performance in “Poor Things.”

So are the bookies right heading into the final 24 hours before the winners are announced? Here are the current odds as of January 6 2024 regarding who are the favourites at the Golden Globes 2024.
