Oscars 2024: latest betting odds for 96th Academy Awards ceremony - could Oppenheimer break huge record?

The latest odds for the Oscars 2024 have been revealed and with Christopher Nolan's Second World War biopic Oppenheimer the clear frontrunner in several categories, it could make Academy Award history with a record breaking sweep.

Nolan is all but guaranteed to claim his first Oscar gong this weekend, following failed bids with Memento, Inception, and Dunkirk at previous ceremonies.

But Oppenheimer also faces stiff opposition in other categories, whilst it's a battle between Killers of the Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone, and Poor Things lead Emma Stone for the Best Actress Award. These are the latest odds for the top awards categories ahead of the live awards show on Sunday.

Could Oppenheimer break an Oscars record?

Oppenheimer has been nominated for 13 awards, each of them in separate categories, so if everything aligns for the movie it could win every single award it is up for. 

Oppenheimer has narrowly missed out on joining the joint record for most nominated films which is held by All About Eve, Titanic, and La La Land, each of which were nominated for 14 awards.

However, the film could break the record for the most awards won by a single film, and the movie could still miss out on one win to do so. Three films currently hold the record for the most Oscar wins with 11 each - they are Ben-Hur, Titanic, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

This means that if Oppenheimer converts 11 of its 13 nominations into wins, the film will be a joint record holder, but if it takes 12 or 13 gongs this weekend, it will become the single most successful film in the 96 years of the Academy Awards.
