The Best Actress Oscar ratings put him in a two-way race with Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone highlighted as the frontrunners for their paintings in Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things, respectively.
The Oscar nominations were announced on Tuesday, January 23. The odds of winning the Oscar are clear and the races are all set.
Although Best Actress necessarily coincides with the pre-nomination possibilities, one is surprised by the absence of Margot Robbie for her work in Barbie. Barbie earned 8 nominations in total, but its star, and director Greta Gerwig, lagged behind.
However, we will detail the Best Actress race as it stands with the 2024 Oscars ceremony scheduled for Sunday, March 10.
In addition, we also take a look at the Best Picture and Best Actor predictions ahead of this year’s ceremony.

Qualifications as of March 10, 2024.
For much of awards season, Best Actress was one of the few categories that didn’t seem predictable from a distance. Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone had traded put options as betting favourites, with the difference in odds being negligible.
With less than a week to go until the ceremony, Gladstone is starting to look like a certainty. This may be due in part to the fact that she won Best Actress at the Screen Actors Guild Awards over Stone.
Stone won the Globe for Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy and other awards for Poor Things. It’s a bold, physical functionality that requires deft comic timing and dramatic pathos. Poor Things is well-liked by critics and audiences alike and may have simply had merit if the electorate deems Killers of the Flower Moon to be too damning with its punitive sadness.
She has been nominated for 3 Academy Awards (most recently for Best Supporting Actress for The Favourite, which, like Poor People, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos) and won Best Actress for La La Land.
It’s a shame that Sandra Huller doesn’t have much chance of winning here. The German actress rose to fame abroad for her role in the comedy Toni Erdmann, but from 2023 she did a double in Anatomy of a Fall and The Area of Interest. A writer accused of her husband’s murder in Anatomy of a Fall, she delivers a complex and intricate performance. It doesn’t come across as specifically comprehensive, but it also feeds into the concept that belief and truth are exactly the same thing, especially when someone is being tried for homicide. She’s perfect in the movie and deserves her nomination, but victory will prove elusive.
This is Annette Benning’s fifth Oscar nomination, her first since 2010’s The Kids Are All Right, and she never won. It’s on the verge of a 0 out of 5. Benning, a wonderful actress, would possibly one day win the trophy, but she stayed. a remote fifth place for much of awards season.
As with the odds, I made a radical change several times. The momentum seemed to be heading in Stone’s direction, and all odds were with her until SAG revered Gladstone. Hopefully, you were able to bet when your odds presented a higher bet price. He tied immediately after the nominations were announced. And while there’s a chance Stone could win again, I wouldn’t bet against Gladstone right now.
