Will.I.Am was seen sporting a casual ensemble at the event, while Samuel L. Jackson happily mingled with his fellow thespians.

There could still be some twists and turns after Mikey Madison’s shock win over Demi Moore at the BAFTAs leaving it uncertain whether the 62-year-old will finally have her Oscar moment.

Anora and Adrien Brody’s movie The Brutalist seem primed to share the spotlight at the 97th Academy Awards with both films favoured in BetMGM’s markets across six cate
gories.

PR expert Lynn Carrattfrom Sportsbook Review revealed the winners seem fairly predictable as she explained: ‘Following on from the Baftas, we can probably predict who is likely to be the big winners on the night for this year’s Academy Awards – last year, with visual effects being the exception, every Bafta winner went on to then win the Oscar.

‘In the main award categories, I can see the winners panning out in the same way.’

The annual ceremony will see Wicked, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Perez, Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys and The Substance battle it out for Best Picture.

However it is romantic and dramatic comedy Anora that is the 1/2 favourite to bring home the award, with The Brutalist sitting back wi
th odds of 6/1 according to BetMGM.

Spokesperson for online betting site Grosvenor Sport Simon Kew added: ‘Conclave remains a strong contender at 11/4, while The Brutalist at 6/1 could still shake things up. 

‘However, for those looking for an underdog story, A Complete Unknown at 50/1 or even Emilia Perez and Wicked at 66/1 might hold some surprise value.’

‘Meanwhile, Dune: Part Two, I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys and The Substance are our 100/1 longshots.’

Adrien Brody is the clear favourite to take home Best Actor, with his odds at 2/5 as PR expert Lynn revealed: ‘Brody is looking unbeatable’. 

The star previously won Best Actor in 2003 for The Pianist, becoming the youngest-ever winner in the category at just 29.

However Timothée Chalamet is also a strong challenger at 8/5 for A Complete Unknown following his shock win at the BAFTAs earlier this month. 

Demi Moore is the overwhelming favourite for Best Actress at 2/5 for her performance in The Substance, marking a potential career-defining moment. 

It is already proving a successful awards season for Demi after she received the Best Actress award at both the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards last weekend. 

Gushing in her speech, the 62-year-old revealed she felt she had defied the odds after a director previously branded her a ‘popcorn actress’ 30 years ago.

However Demi missed out at the BAFTAs to Anora star Mikey Madison who landed a surprise win at the prestigious ceremony.

The masterminds behind the incredible films at this year’s ceremony will also battle it out for the most prestigious award in film at the weekend. 

Anora’s Sean Baker is leading the way to win Best Director at 8/15 with BetMGM. 

The Brutalist’s Brady Corbet took the honour at the BAFTAs after a very successful night for the film after four wins. 

Also nominated is James Mangold for A Complete Unknown, Sean Baker for Anora, Jacques Audiard for Emilia Pérez and Coralie Fargeat for The Substance.
