Not usually. It is an O sound called the circumflex O or caret O (ô).

This appears as a long O in OR words such as more, forward, and orangutan.

But it has a distinctly different AW sound in words such as frog and log. This second pronunciation is the AWR in orange as pronounced in the US.

But some speakers do pronounce it with a short O sound.
