The Irishman didn’t make it past the cutting room floor in time to be considered for the 91st Academy Awards, but perhaps the wait was worth it for Netflix’s 2020 contender.  The more-or-less true mob story runs over 3 hour, following one man’s rise through organized crime – and his eventual involvement with the famously disappeared Jimmy Hoffa.

Directed by Martin Scorsese and starring the genre’s best (De Niro, Pesci, Pacino), The Irishman has that something the Academy voters love: it is the final piece in a long-standing and highly acclaimed career.

Despite running against some other heavy-hitters (Tarantino, anyone?), the finality of the film and those behind it smells of early Oscars success.

Either Martin Scorsese or Bong Joon Ho could take home the Academy Award and not a single eye would blink; however, if you’re looking for value here, Quentin Tarantino’s directorial effort in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood might be more up your alley. With +650 odds and an eye for detail nearly unparalleled, Tarantino is not one to sleep on.

Whether you loved it or hated it, Todd Phillips’ Joker proved once and again that Joaquin Phoenix will go where he needs to go as an actor. His physical performance of a man caught within the nightmare of his own mind, navigating a complex world, is without a doubt nomination-worthy. Will it also be awards-earning?

His closest contender is Adam Driver, who carries enough physical and emotional intensity for 10 men within his one body. From the small screen (GIRLS; HBO) to a galaxy far, far away (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), Driver plays every character with a physicality you often only see live on a stage.

Critics of his take on the role have said it’s a bit too theatre-school-101, but Driver says that “performance” was actually one of the film’s biggest themes.

Best Actress Top Contender Odds

• [Jan. 23] The gap between Renee Zellweger and her next closest contender, Scarlett Johansson, just got even bigger. Zellweger has enjoyed the best odds of any actress so far this year, but now with -1191 to win the award, there just might not be enough time for anyone else to close that distance
• [Jan. 20] Charlize Theron’s odds shift from +1975 to +3233, the longest they have been since opening
• [Jan. 15] Saoirse Ronan’s odds shorten from +2500 to +2267, the shortest they have been yet
• [Jan. 13] Lupita Nyong’o, Awkwafina and Meryl Streep all drop out of contention, and Zellweger continues to put distance between herself and fellow nominees with -650 odds
• [Jan. 10] Scarlett Johansson’s odds shorten slightly from +600 to +500, but so do Renee Zellweger’s (to -425) leaving Zellweger still far, far ahead of the rest
• [Jan. 8] Renee Zellweger holds on to her first-place contender status with -550; other contenders Meryl Streep and Lupita Nyongo both see their own odds lengthen considerably (to +1500 and +12000 respectively)
• [Dec 20] Her role in Judy sees Renee Zellweger as initial front-runner for Best Actress with odds at -190

Renee Zellweger as Judy Garland in this year’s dramatic biopic, Judy, is an empathetic performance deserving of the ol’ Oscar nod. Are her odds at -190 more deserved than Lupita Nyongo’s performance in Jordan Peele’s thriller/horror Us? Or newcomer Cynthia Erivo’s at +1100? Critical reviews of Erivo’s Harriet Tubman have been rave, while Nyongo’s chilling maternal spin should have earned her slightly shorter than +950 odds here.

The historical significance of Harriet on a whole may give Erivo a leg up in the long run; the Academy tends to look fondly on historical work.

• [Jan. 23] Tom Hanks and Anthony Hopkins both see their odds shorten, to +1875 and +4475, respectively; but, Brad Pitt is so far in the lead at -1725, that the rest of the pack can barely see him
• [Jan. 20] A win at the SAG Awards for Brad Pitt sees his odds shorten significantly from -475 to -1267
• [Jan. 15] Brad Pitt sees his odds lengthen from -800 to -475, but he is still well-ahead of his fellow contenders
• [Jan. 13] Tom Hanks’ odds to win Best Supporting Actor for A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood shorten significantly from +3000 pre-nomination to +1950; Brad Pitt maintains a heavy lead with -800 now
• [Jan. 10] Early front-runner, Brad Pitt, is already miles ahead of the rest of his possible contenders with -600 odds; Joe Pesci is the only one who looks like he could beat Pitt, at the moment, with +600 for mob-movie swan song The Irishman.

Brad Pitt’s return to the silver screen in 2019 is earning him a lot of Oscar talk. But the Best Supporting category could be stacked with some heavyweights this year (Pesci, Pacino, Dafoe, Hanks and Hopkins all at once is a lot to compete with) – not to mention the standout performance of Song Kang-ho in critically-acclaimed Parasite.
