PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BETTING
This market will resolve YES if there is a (non-shorts) winner at the 96th Academy Awards who Manifold gave less than 10% chance to win the Oscar.
A.K.A. a SURPRISING UPSET.
The source for the probability of the Oscar nominees is defined by this spreadsheet (<10% is highlighted in orange).
I repeat: this market does not refer to any probability that you might find on Manifold, it is solely defined by the linked spreadsheet (computed right before market creation).
This does not include the three "shorts" categories: only the 20 feature film categories are eligible.
Further details:
This spreadsheet reflects my best good faith attempt to compute the "average probability for each winner according to Manifold".
Rough process:
(1) Gather many markets from Manifold (~70 or so).
(2) Take the mean for each category/nominee.
(3) Normalize so the probabilities sum to 1.
Still, there is no single correct way to do this (e.g. which markets to include), some of the Manifold probabilities are bound to be a bit wonky, and probabilities might shift in the final few days, so bear all that in mind before betting.
If any aspects of resolution are unclear, please ask!
