For Best Original Screenplay, “Spotlight” was the overwhelming favorite to win at -1200 odds. This is considered a “lock” paying out $10 for every $120 wagered (with that $120 refunded with “Spotlight” winning).

Best Adapted Screenplay offers up an even bigger favorite with “The Big Short” coming in at -1500.

2026 Oscar Payout Odds: Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, Production Design

It's a tough one to bet. Best Visual Effects is most certainly going to Avatar: Fire and Ash. Easy bet, yes, but the price is -1500. One would have to wager $150 to win $10. That $150 is refunded just as long as the film wins. You profit $10.
