According to betting aggregate site US-Bookies.com, Joaquin Phoenix is the surest bet to win Best Actor for his role in Todd Phillips’ Joker at the 92nd annual Academy Awards.
“Of the major categories, the odds seem to like Joaquin Phoenix the most,” US-Bookies betting industry analyst Alex Donohue explains.
Phoenix also won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama Motion Picture, which is another pointer that he has a good shot at the Oscar.
“His 1/16 odds to win Best Actor are the shortest of the top categories, and he also holds the biggest lead over the nearest competitor, who happens to be Adam Driver at 10/1.
