From the Hollywood Stock Exchange:
AwardOptions allow traders to buy and sell the Oscar nominees with exclusive Hollywood Derivatives centered around the 80th Academy Awards.
Five HSX AwardOptions will be issued for the nominees in this category. Each AwardOption is offered at H$5.00. The AwardOptions will halt trading at 4 p.m. EST on Sunday, February 24, in preparation for the awards ceremony to be held that evening.
The AwardOption for the winner in this category will cash out at H$25.00, while those failing to win will delist at H$0.00.
Right now No Country for Old Men, the Coens, Daniel Day-Lewis and Julie Christie seem to be the favored investments.
