The Academy Awards are Sunday night, and we're keeping tabs on the race for best actor.
Why it matters: The movie industry may be in decline, but the Oscars still grab our attention.
Driving the news: Timothée Chalamet was the frontrunner in the race for his portrayal of the titular Marty in "Marty Supreme." But there's drama.
- On March 1, Michael B. Jordan pulled off a surprise win at the Actor Awards (formerly known as the SAG Awards) for his dual portrayal of twins Smoke and Stack in Ryan Coogler's vampire thriller "Sinners."
- That prize came the day after Jordan won an NAACP Image Award for outstanding actor. In an emotional moment, he dedicated the trophy to the late Chadwick Boseman, his costar in "Black Panther."
- Now, Jordan has top odds to win the Oscar.
The big picture: Well, that is the question, after all. There are 10 nominees for best picture.
- Kalshi puts 76% odds on "One Battle After Another."
What to watch: There's a new category for best casting.
