Oscar Best Actress Gallery: Every Winner in Academy Award History
“Moonlight” will win four Indie Spirt Awards including Best Picture according to the official racetrack odds at Gold Derby. With all of our experts, along with our in-house editors and most of our readers are backing its bid, this character study has leading odds of 1/10. That puts it far in front of “Manchester by the Sea” (25/1 odds) and “Jackie” (50/1). However, the stars of those films, Casey Affleck and Natalie Portman, are expected to win the top acting awards. The cast of “Moonlight,” including Oscar frontrunner Mahershala Ali, were ineligible to contend in the individual categories as they are to be feted with the Robert Altman Ensemble Award.
