When is the 2023 Oscars ceremony?

The 95th Academy Awards will air on ABC and ABC streaming services on Sunday, March 12 at 8 p.m. ET.

Oscars categories and eligibility

While it is the 2023 Oscars, the films up for the honors are those that were released from March 1, 2022, to Dec. 31, 2022.

There are 24 competitive Oscars categories. Some books will offer wagering on every category, but others will limit themselves to what is considered the Big Six. These categories are:

  • Best Picture
  • Best Director
  • Best Actor
  • Best Actress
  • Best Supporting Actress
  • Best Supporting Actor

These six categories are the focus of most of the media coverage and public interest around the awards. If you are interested in maximizing what you can win on Oscars night though, it is the smaller markets where inefficiencies and mispricing are more prevalent.

What types of Oscars bets are available?

All Oscars wagers are moneyline bets. These are the most straight-forward, simple types of wagers. There are no point spreads to consider.

It’s important to note: while typically all favorites are priced around the same on most sites, you can often find a wide range of pricing for underdog moneyline wagers. We encourage you to explore your options on all legal sportsbooks.

Where can I bet on the Oscars?

FanDuel Canada

FanDuel Ontario allows you to bet on the Oscars.

Michigan sportsbooks

Michigan sportsbooks have been approved to allow for Academy Awards wagering on several categories. Sportsbooks with odds posted in the Great Lakes state include:

Colorado sportsbooks

  • DraftKings Sportsbook
  • PointsBet

New Jersey sportsbooks

New Jersey sportsbooks have been approved to offer Oscars betting. The sportsbooks that offer betting in every category are:

Indiana sportsbooks

  • DraftKings Sportsbook
  • PointsBet

European sportsbooks

Most operators in Europe (like bet365 and betway) have been taking bets on the Academy Awards for years.

Where can I find Oscars betting predictions and tips?

If this is your first time betting the Oscars, it helps to read as much information as possible so you can confidently place your wagers.

You may have heard certain awards such as the SAGs or Producer’s Guild are good indicators as to how the Academy will vote. There are sites that track these awards and offer predictions for winners, such as Awards Watch and Golden Derby.
