Analysis

This probability reflects market expectations for which film will receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination in the 2027 Academy Awards ceremony. Project Hail Mary is currently trading at 86%, suggesting traders view it as a strong contender for inclusion among the nominated films. The outcome depends primarily on how the film performs with critics and audiences between now and voting, along with competitive strength from other major releases like Dune: Part Three (74%) and The Invite (41%). The Academy's voting process occurs in early 2027, with nominations announced in January and winners decided at the March ceremony. Key uncertainties include post-production completion status, festival reception at major venues like Venice and Toronto, and how industry voters respond relative to competing films in the same year.

  • Project Hail Mary's current production and post-production timeline relative to festival season deadlines
  • Critical reception scores (Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic) and nominations at major precursor ceremonies (BAFTA, Golden Globes, SAG Awards)
  • Box office performance and audience reception, which influence Academy voter familiarity and enthusiasm
  • Competitive field strength, particularly Dune: Part Three's perceived nomination chances and other major studio releases
  • Academy nomination patterns—historical data on whether sci-fi films receive Best Picture nominations in the relevant voting categories

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
