The market relies on official data from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but allows fallback to a consensus of reporting. The primary risk lies in an unusual tie-breaking clause: if Dune: Messiah ties with another film for the highest number of nominations, the market will resolve to whichever film title comes first alphabetically rather than resolving equally or as a shared outcome. Additionally, while the question is framed as a yes-or-no proposition about Dune: Messiah, the rules describe resolving to 'the film which is nominated' and include a timeout resolving to 'Other' if nominations are delayed past June 30, 2027.

Resolution rules
The Academy Awards are given every year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) to a variety of films and film industry workers for outstanding displays of artistic and technical merit. This market will resolve according to the film which is nominated for the greatest number of Oscars at the 99th Academy Awards, currently expected to take place in March of 2027. A film will be considered to be nominated for an award if it or members of its crew, cast, or production are nominated for an award for work related to that film. In the event of a tie for the greatest number of nominations, this market will resolve in favor of the film whose title comes first in alphabetical order. If for any reason no nominations are announced by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Academy Awards and AMPAS, including data from their website (e.g., https://www.oscars.org/) and the live broadcast of the award ceremony. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
Market explained
This market measures whether the film Dune: Messiah will receive the highest number of Oscar nominations at the 99th Academy Awards, with ties resolved by alphabetical order.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes if Dune: Messiah receives the greatest number of nominations at the 99th Academy Awards, or if it is tied for the most nominations and its title comes first alphabetically among the tied films. A film is considered nominated if it or members of its crew, cast, or production are nominated for work related to the film. The market resolves to No if another film receives more nominations, or beats Dune: Messiah in the alphabetical tiebreaker. The market resolves to Other if no nominations are announced by June 30, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. Official information from the Academy Awards and AMPAS, including their website and broadcast, serves as the primary resolution source, with credible reporting consensus as a secondary source.
