Odds movement
Market-implied chance to win for the 5 contenders with the highest average price now, the average of Kalshi and Polymarket at the end of each day.Prices at the end of each day, New York time. A day without a new price keeps the day before’s. On a day a Kalshi market ends thin (nobody bidding, or more than 10¢ between buy and sell offers), its close is the last traded price.Numbered pins mark festival and award results announced that day.Days before 2 October 2026 come from each platform’s published price history; later days from the prices this site records.- The Black Ball78%
