Moreover, another Oppenheimer actor, Robert Downey Jr., is the top choice to win Best Supporting Actor at the SAG Awards at -400.

For this report, SBS will be going over what to look for from the latest gaming news coming from the world of MyBookie’s betting markets and also some more notes about wagering.
According to the main betting markets page at MyBookie, Oppenheimer appears four different times in the different betting categories. In addition to Downey Jr. and Murphy’s categories, the film is also the favorite to win the category of Best Cast Motion Picture at -500. For those unfamiliar with last summer’s blockbuster, Oppenheimer tells the story of the American theoretical physicist who is credited as being the “father of the atomic bomb” for his role in the Manhattan Project. The film chronicles the career of Oppenheimer, with the story focusing mostly on his studies, his direction of the Project during World War II, and his eventual fall from grace due to his 1954 security hearing.
For the category of Best Actress, Lily Gladstone leads the way at -250 for her performance in Killers of the Flower Moon. Trailing her are Emma Stone (Poor Things, +125) and Margot Robbie (Barbie, +800). A film with another ensemble cast, Killers of the Flower Moon tells the story of a series of murders of Osage members and relations in the Osage Nation after oil was discovered on tribal land. For her role as Mollie Kyle, an Osage woman who survived the Osage Murders, Gladstone earned critical acclaim for the film. In the process, she became the first Native American to win the Golden Glove Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama and be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
