What the contract measures

This event covers the 99th Academy Awards Best Original Score category. Each listed market asks whether one film will win. According to the event rules, "This market will resolve according to the listed film that wins the 99th Academy Award for Best Original Score." [1] If a film is not nominated when the nominees are announced, its market "will immediately resolve to "No"." [1] The rules also say that in a tie, the market "will resolve in favor of the nominated film whose listed title comes first in alphabetical order." [1] If no winner is declared by the stated deadline, the market "will resolve to "Other"." [1]

The source gives two different end times. The rules state that if no winner is declared "by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET," the market resolves to "Other," and the provider lists an end time of 2027-07-01T03:59:00.000Z. [1] The individual market records show an end date of 2027-03-14T23:59:00.000Z. [1] Readers should check which close time applies to the contract they are comparing. The rules also describe nominations as "scheduled to be announced on January 21" and the ceremony as on "March 14, 2027." [1] These are rule-text descriptions, not confirmed event dates for this snapshot.

Reading the snapshot

The snapshot was observed at 2026-10-20T06:00:05.944Z and retrieved at 2026-10-20T08:48:03.269Z. [1] It shows the prices at observation time, not live prices now. The sample includes all 12 saved markets for this one Polymarket event, with no partial sampling reported. [1] The source also warns that inclusion "does not establish that the providers list every possible real-world outcome." [1]

Within this event, the highest Yes price is for The Odyssey at 0.66, followed by Dune: Part Three at 0.18 and The Black Ball at 0.074. [1] Several titles are quoted below 0.05. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. The Yes prices in this sample add up to roughly 1.10, so they should not be read as calibrated probabilities that sum to one.

No other provider appears in this evidence, so there is no cross-platform comparison. Prices from different contracts should not be combined or averaged, and differences between them do not establish an arbitrage opportunity.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not explain why any price is where it is. It also does not report trader counts, volume-based liquidity, recent news, or the historical accuracy of these markets. Volume is not included in this summary, and it would not indicate liquidity or the number of participants even if it were.

The snapshot will not update itself in this summary. Current prices, nomination outcomes, and resolution status are not in the supplied evidence. Readers should consult the live source for any current figures.
